Experience Energy Savings and UV Protection with Our Phoenix Awnings

It is easy to see how aesthetically pleasing and architecturally interesting awnings can be, but did you ever think about how much they may reduce your energy costs and UV exposure? Awnings provide a tremendous cost savings by reducing heat gain into your home or business and reduces the strain on your air conditioner. Awnings also prevent UV (sun) damage to you, your draperies, furniture and carpet.


Awnings are one way for all of us to do our part for the environment by reducing our carbon footprint and the impact of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions.

Awnings Energy Savings Study by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers

  • Awnings can reduce a home's internal temperature by 8° to 15° F (5°C - 8°C)
  • Solar radiation through glass is responsible for approximately 20% of the load on a residential air conditioner
  • On a hot day, more energy is lost through one square foot of glass than through an entire insulated wall
  • A fabric awning can reduce heat gain by 55% to 65% during the period of the day when the sun shines directly on southern-facing windows, and 72% to 77% for western exposures


Cut your costs and add to the beauty of your home while helping the environment. It doesn’t get much better than that.

American Cancer Society

More Americans are getting skin cancer than ever before. Why is this so? Many people are spending more time in the sun while still not adequately protecting themselves from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.


Shorter working hours, earlier retirement, a longer lifespan, lighter clothes, a waterside lifestyle and more sport and leisure pursuits all put people in the sun more often.


UV damage is cumulative, and there's no doubt that skin cancer 'catches up with you.' The longer one lives, the more irreversible damage one suffers from the sun's UV rays.


The fastest growing cancer in the United States is skin cancer. Dermatologists are alarmed by an epidemic of skin cancer, and children between the ages of 2 and 14 are particularly vulnerable.


In June 2003, the American government officially listed ultraviolet radiation as a human carcinogen alongside tobacco.
