Q: What is the best material for metal awnings?

• <div><p>Stainless steel and copper are the most durable and will probably last the longest, especially when you compare them to fabric awnings. Steel is the most popular if your budget isn&rsquo;t a top priority, but some people prefer copper awnings over steel because they are lighter, which makes them easier to install. Aluminum offers a more budget-friendly metal awning option that is still attractive and offers some durability, especially compared to fabric.</p></div>

Q: What materials are available for fabric awnings?

• <div><p>Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.</p></div>

Q: Can I open my awning in winter?

• <div><p>You can indeed open your awning in winter. It&rsquo;s a misconception that you can only open retractable awnings in the warmer months. In fact, modern awnings are strong enough to offer a little respite from the snow if you&rsquo;re someone who enjoys sipping hot cocoa outside on a beautiful winter day. But if a big storm is coming, such as a hurricane or a blizzard, it&rsquo;s best to close your awning until the weather calms down.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair my awning myself?

• <div><p>Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.</p></div>

Q: Should I install retractable awnings myself?

• <div><p>If you're handy, it might be worth trying to install retractable awnings yourself. Just keep in mind that motorized retractable awnings require much more know-how, and the risk of something costly going wrong (such as damaging your new awnings) is higher.</p><p>Mechanical awnings should be easy to install for the average person with some handyman skills.</p></div>

"Nick arrived promptly. After checking, he said the fan was not running, and he speculated that not enough insulation surrounded the pipe leading up the chimney. He gave us some ideas for changing the fireplace, making it more efficient. Updating it. When we tried to pay him for coming, he said he had not done any work and wouldn't ask for money. We insisted paying him, however, for his trip charge. We will look at ideas at their showroom and, most likely, do some renovating when it's warmer."
