Awnings for Business:
· Bigger: Awnings for your business tend to be larger simply because the shaded area is larger than your average home’s front or backyard.
· Expands Dining or Lounge Area: For restaurants, awnings can expand the footprint of your business and create revenue generating space. This is a great way to invest in your business and see a return on that money. For businesses that don’t offer dining experiences, you can expand your lounging area and offer guests an outdoor experience.

Drop Curtains at PS 818 · Can be Modified with Curtains & Enclosures: Drop screens, curtains, vinyl enclosures, and other types of modifications can be made to your business’ awning. Enclosures can offer outdoor guests and diners protection from inclement weather. Curtains and drop screens also offer added shade and protection from the sun. Modifications to your awning can add a level of class that your competition might not have.
· Graphic Printing: Using a logo or other graphic printed on your awning is a great way to advertise your business without buying ad spots in newspapers, radio, or television commercials. In fact, graphic printing on your awning is a great way to attract foot and car traffic.
· Added Visibility: An awning can be a stunning visual experience that can make your business visible from afar. Visibility is a key component in attracting customers to your business. (Think of those awnings that incorporate design elements, like layers, curves, colors, and shapes; how much more are you going to notice something like that versus a business with just a marquee sign?).
