FAQs

Q: What sets Fabritech awnings apart from those sold by other companies?

A: All of our custom awnings are manufactured to the highest standards. Our frames and covers are manufactured locally in our warehouse by highly skilled craftsmen. This allows us to maintain strict quality control. We also take extra steps in the production of our frames and covers that result in a more refined product. 

Q: What is the life span of a canvas/vinyl awning?

A: Typically the covers will last about 5-7 years, depending on sun exposure. The frames can be recovered multiple times.

Q: Are metal awnings stronger than canvas awnings?

A:  Not necessarily. Our awnings are built to withstand a wind load of 110mph, and most of our awnings did survive Hurricane Katrina.

Q: How Can I keep my awning clean?

A: Usually if you rinse your awning with clean water once quarterly, it will stay clean. If it requires further cleaning, you can consult the "Cleaning " section on our website.

Q: Can awnings help lower my electric bill?

A: Yes. According to a study by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers, canvas awnings can reduce heat generated by direct sunlight by as much as 77%. This can translate into a reduction in air conditioning costs by as much as 25%.
