A standing seam awning is an aluminum structure designed to provide shelter over a door. If you’re a business owner, this addition can boost your customers’ comfort and the exterior of your commercial space. Here are a few benefits to consider.

What Are the Advantages of Standing Seam Awnings?

1. Durability 

Aluminum can withstand strong winds, heavy rain, and temperature fluctuations. The metal can also be more durable if a powder coating is applied. 

During this process, a dry paint mixture is sprayed on the material and cured under an ultraviolet light. It provides added strength and vibrant color to your business’s exterior. 

2. Shelter

A standing seam covering provides shelter and shade, making your outdoor space cooler and more comfortable for customers who are dining outside on a hot, sunny day. It also blocks the sun from hitting the windows and warming the establishment. This helps lower your HVAC usage and utility bills.

A covering placed on a commercial building blocks rain and snow at the front doors. This allows customers to enter and exit the building comfortably without increased exposure to the elements.

3. Low-Maintenance

Keeping a standing seam awning clean is easy, as it can be washed with a solution of mild soap and water. Since the material is weather-resistant, it doesn’t require regular sealing.

You may need to apply a fresh coat of paint every five to ten years to maintain its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, you should remove any low-hanging tree branches that may fall on top and cause structural damage.
