Why Are So Many Richmond-Area Businesses Adding Graphics to Their Awnings?

Business awnings are often a welcome sight for shoppers and other visitors to commercial districts because they offer a place to find shade from the blazing sun or shelter from a drenching rain. Many business owners invest in entranceway awnings as a courtesy to their customers, and others understand that door and window awnings can potentially reduce their cooling costs by preventing unwanted solar heat from penetrating glass areas. And, of course, colorful storefront awnings have long been a great way to snag the attention of passersby who might decide to stop in and make a purchase.

These are all great reasons to invest in commercial awnings for your restaurant, hotel, office, or retail establishment in the Richmond, Virginia, area. But you won’t want to overlook the opportunity to add graphics to any awning you have installed. Some of best reasons for adding graphics to your awnings include:

• Using them as a branding tool that tells prospective customers at a glance what they can expect when they step inside your establishment
• Providing a snazzy way for customers to quickly identify the entrance to your business
• Identifying all the outdoor spaces that belong to your hotel, restaurant, or shop by having your company’s graphics applied to all awnings over doors and windows that face the street

One of Many Reasons to Choose Custom Awning Services

The expertise with which we apply awning graphics is only one of the perks you can expect when you turn to Roberts Awnings for commercial or residential awning services. We’ve been outfitting homes and businesses with custom-crafted outdoor shade solutions since our company’s founding way back in 1899, so we’re quite knowledgeable about the region’s popular awning styles and which fabrics will perform well in our climate.

When you partner with us for your upcoming shade project, we’ll meet with you to discuss your goals and aesthetic preferences in detail. Some of the choices we’ll discuss include:

Color & Style

Among the many reasons for choosing fabric awnings is the huge array of options for color, pattern, and style. For example, if you’re looking for an entrance door canopy for your ice cream shop or a shade for a kids’ playground, you might choose a striped design in bright colors with a flirty or scalloped-edge frill. If you’re adding an awning to a bank or a sophisticated clothing store, you might select a darker or more neutral color to convey stability and elegance.

Type of Fabric

We offer an extensive variety of outdoor fabrics from leading manufacturers, including Sunbrella, Outdura Sattler, and WeatherMAX^®. All of the manufacturers we source our materials from have a reputation for providing high-quality products that are made to stand up to the weather in our area.

Size & Mounting Options

Every outdoor space we shade is unique. We’ll carefully examine and measure the patio, doorway, windows, or other parts of your home or business that need shade and tailor your awning or canopy to fit. A precisely sized shade cover will provide not only a streamlined, sophisticated appearance but also better performance and long-lasting weather resistance.

We’ll also take a look at the architectural features of your home or storefront and determine how best to mount your new awning. Then, when your custom awning is ready to be mounted, we’ll handle all the installation details to ensure proper placement, so your outdoor shade will look and perform as advertised. As part of our expert awning installation services, we can also secure any permits that may be needed for your project.
