ALL
WELDED ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION!
NO
STEEL, WATER PIPES OR OTHER CORROSIVES USED
Frame Construction – Awning
Pros uses .10" aluminum extrusion in its awnings. Our awning
frames are extremely strong and are much more durable than steel and
the .0625" aluminum used by other awning manufacturers. The joints
are welded and ground down to eliminate any sharp edges that could
tear the fabric.
Fabric – Awning
Pros will use any type of fabric that is requested by the customer.
Fabric warranties currently range anywhere from five to eight years.
Depending on the particular application of the project and your personal
tastes, we can recommend a fabric for your awning.
Attachment
of Fabric – Awning Pros uses a patented staple-in
system for attaching fabric to the awning frame. The fabric is stretched
onto the frame and then stapled into the staple-groove of the extrusion.
PVC trim is then installed into the staple groove, concealing the
staples and providing a sharp, clean appearance. The staple-in method
results in the fabric fitting tighter on the frame. This not only
looks better, but also prohibits the wind for buffeting the fabric
against the frame, prolonging the life of the fabric.
Graphics – Awning
Pros use a number of different methods for application of graphics.
For backlit awnings, we remove the color where there will be graphics,
This allows the eradicated letter and/or graphics to illuminate when
backlit. For graphics on acrylic fabrics such as Sunbrella, we can
either paint or use a heat transfer of vinyl graphics. Both methods
result in a clean professional appearance.
Lighting – Awning
Pros installs double-lamp high output fixtures with daylight lamps
into all of our backlit awnings. The daylight lamps are much brighter
than cool white lamps used by other manufacturers, making sure that
your awning atracts attention.
Artwork
Requirements – If the awning we are building for
you contains graphics we will need clean artwork from you. We use
Adobe Illustrator for our art drawing programs. Accordingly, we
would like the artwork to be Adobe Illustrator (.ai), if possible.
This will help us decorate your awning correctly and quickly. Our
computers are IBM compatible. Other acceptable formats include .jpeg & .tiff,
but .ai is preferred.
