Check out this article from the Trivantage Market Corner to learn about the benefits of fabric awnings: Awning Options: Why Fabric Excels Over Metal March 27, 2019 in Awning, Fabric by David Amick ... Awnings often serve a greater purpose than simply being a protective shield against the elements. An end user may want an awning that is an architectural statement, signage for advertising, or an intriguing way to capture people’s attention. Fabric awnings offer significant advantages, including lower costs, customization, styling and aesthetic considerations, and flexibility. Fabric awnings come in a wide variety of colors, with more than 200 selections, and also serve as a branding opportunity when you add your logo or message. The use of fabric provides endless customization options and unique styling opportunities that can also mimic the industrial feel of metal. An awning produced with fabric provides soft, high-end appeal while also offering fully functional shade and protection from the environment. Fabric also has a benefit unmatched by other construction materials: in a pound for pound comparison, fabric can cover much larger areas with significantly less material per square foot while generating savings for the end user due to lower material costs and lighter weights for easier installation. Certainly, metal has a space in the awning market and is the right product for many applications. However, incorporating fabric into the design as a replacement for the metal pans used today or in other creative ways creates an opportunity to add color, refresh brands, add curb appeal, and enhance the experience from underneath the structure. Some companies today are innovating in this way, finding the balance of function, style, and value for the end user.

What awning folks do from the end of October till the spring put-up season! Ever wonder what awning folks do from the end of October till the spring put-up season begins? Well at MacCarty and Sons Awnings and Canopies, it’s like the day after the Mummer’s March up Broad Street; we start getting ready for next year.... Some awning companies lay-off their employees and wait for spring; but not MacCarty and Sons. Since we are a full service shop, there is much to be done. For our residential customers, being a full service shop means evaluating the takedown card that the crews prepare during the service call to notify customers about needed repairs or need for re-covers or perhaps schedule for their goods to be washed and re-coated with water resistant material. All of these activities take place at our Railroad Avenue facility during the off-season. Then when spring arrives For commercial customers, general contractors and architects being a full service shop means being able to contact one company to complete their projects; from welded steel and aluminum framing with stapled-on fabric and graphics as the holiday season approaches to excite and attract customers. MacCarty and Sons has a reputation for delivering high quality on time because having all of these activities taking place within our company allows us to control the delivery schedule. We were not always a full service shop, but with our move to Railroad Avenue in 1998; it allowed us to expand our service offerings that, today, differentiate us from some of our competitors. Please take a look at our recently completed projects.

Get ready. Fall takedown season is here. Letters will be going out this week. We all hate to see our awnings and canopies come down. They provided much needed protection from the latest heat wave. But all good things must come to an end until next spring.
