Choose a
Style
It’s important to select a style that will accommodate how much
the sun penetrates the windows. For northern and southern
exposure, sides may need to be added to the awnings for
additional protection for eastern and western facing windows,
less protection is necessary. Seasons will also make a
difference. In order to take advantage of the suns warmth, some
awnings are designed to roll up and out of he way. Further,
frames can be designed to accommodate casement windows.

Determine
Size and Fit
The size
of an awning is determined by its length, width and projection
from the building to which it is attached. Other aspects of size
include clear height, rise of roof and post or rafter spacing.
These features are usually important to those involved in the
planning and review process.
The fit of an awning is determined
by the interfacing of its frame with other connecting
structures. In the case of a building, it is important to
coordinate the appropriate parts of the awning frame with
structural members in the building so that loads are transmitted
properly.

Choose a Color
When choosing an awning with a low head clearance, (for instance
on a patio umbrella), remember that lighter colors do not trap
heat as much as dark colors do.
