How To Measure an Awning:
Scallops:

  • Drop: vertical measurement from the top of the awning to the bottom.
  • Projection: measurement of how far out the awning will come out from the wall.
  • Valance (Optional): For Decoration or 8″ – 10″ of additional protections. Commercial buildings use the Valance to put their address or name of establishment.
  • Loose Valance: Hangs at the end of the awning with a scallop design.
  • Rigid Valance: Fixed Panel.
  • Scallop: series of curved, square or straight cut design at the end of the valance.
  • Binding: decorative trim piece that follows the shape of the bottom of the valance.
  • Side Ends: (Optional) Additional side protection from the side of the awning to decrease sun or rain protection.
  • Recover: Replacement of the fabric while using the existing frame.

All awnings may look the same but every company manufactures their awnings different. We not only use the best UV Protected Fabric for our Awnings or Marine Covers we make sure that we also use the best thread. We like to inform our customer that you can have the best UV Protected Fabric but the stitching is the heart of the awning. Using good thread for the stitching will help the life of the awning. Our stitching thread will outlast the fabric.
