Choosing commercial awnings starts with your material selection.
Our Core Solutions for Winston-Salem Businesses
#1: Fabric Commercial Awnings

A fabric commercial awning is the perfect choice for businesses aiming for a classic, inviting look.
Available in a wide range of colors and patterns, including durable Sunbrella fabric options, fabric awnings are ideal for:
- Boutiques and Storefronts: Protect your window displays from UV fading while enhancing your building’s front.
- Business Branding: Apply your business’s custom graphics and logos directly onto the fabric you choose.
- Customer Protection: Prevent slip-and-fall accidents by ensuring the floor inside your lobby doesn’t form puddles when rain hits the outside walkways and splashes onto the door.
- Restaurants, Coffeeshops, & Cafes: Provide a shady or dry place for patrons to wait for their table.
#2: Metal Commercial Awnings

If durability is your primary concern, you can’t go wrong with a commercial metal awning. This awning material looks sleek and ensures longevity.
It withstands summer’s intense sun and winter’s snow and ice. Metal awnings offer:
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Clean lines and awning designs that complement contemporary office buildings and retail centers.
- Low Maintenance: Requires little care beyond periodic washing of pollen, dust, and dirt.
- Permanent Protection: Choose a permanent solution for your high-traffic entrances where protection is essential.
#3: Commercial Canopies

While awnings are typically attached directly above windows or doors, commercial canopies often provide more extensive coverage by offering freestanding space beyond the building.
Canopies are essential for Winston-Salem businesses that need:
- Dry Loading Docks: Keep merchandise dry on a rainy or snowy day. Items are loaded or unloaded without waiting for a storm to pass, saving you time and money.
- Outdoor Dining Areas: Keep your patio area profitable even during a Piedmont summer rainstorm, or provide much-needed shade on a sunny day.
- Walkway Coverage: Provide a dry path for customers from the parking area to the main door of your store, restaurant, or hotel.
