Differences Between Awnings and Canopies

A canopy is a kind of roof used to provide protection and shield from the elements for the exterior part of your home. Canopies can be made of composite material, aluminum and sometimes a flexible material to gather as per the weather requirements. These canopies are pocket-friendly to buy and available in various shapes and sizes. Canopies are also effective for overcoming your electricity expenses in summer as they cover your windows and prevent the heat from entering your residence to some space. While awnings are like the sheet material made of canvas or plastic, attached to the exterior of your home. They work as a shelter above a storefront, window, doorway or floor. It is a waterproof roof carried by a frame to give shelter against the weather. Awnings can be used for both residential and business prospects. The main benefit of using awning is sun protection as it decreases glare and UV rays both inside and outside, providing shade and diminish heat. Just as many traits for a home or business, awnings are available in several choices.
