Commercial Applications

 

Awning House provides custom commercial shading systems designed to improve building comfort, reduce solar heat gain, and enhance the appearance of commercial properties.

We work with businesses throughout Sarnia, Lambton County, and surrounding Southwestern Ontario communities to design and install shade solutions that improve outdoor spaces, attract customers, and provide long-term durability.

Each project is custom designed based on the building layout, the intended use of the space, and the needs of the business.

Commercial awnings and shade systems can serve more than one purpose. In addition to providing shade and reducing solar heat gain, they can also add architectural character to buildings that may otherwise appear flat or uninviting. Custom awnings help define entrances, create visual interest, and improve the overall appearance of storefronts and commercial properties.

Many businesses also incorporate branding, logos, or text directly onto the awning surface to support signage, advertising, and wayfinding for customers.


Commercial awnings and shade systems can be installed on a wide range of buildings and businesses, including:

• storefronts and retail buildings
• restaurants and patio dining areas
• offices and commercial buildings
• apartment and condominium buildings
• hotels and hospitality properties
• recreational and public spaces

These systems help reduce solar glare, protect windows and entrances, and create comfortable outdoor spaces for customers and staff.


Types of Commercial Shade Systems

Awning House installs a range of commercial shading systems designed to suit different building types and outdoor spaces. Every project is customized to the building and the needs of the business.

Common solutions include:

Commercial Awnings
Commercial awnings can be installed over entrances, windows, and storefronts to provide shade, reduce solar heat gain, and create a strong architectural presence for your business. Many businesses also use awnings for branding and signage. Depending on the application, awnings can be manufactured using either outdoor fabric or durable vinyl materials designed to support printed logos, text, and branding.

Patio and Outdoor Dining Awnings
Restaurants and hospitality businesses often use awnings to expand outdoor seating areas while protecting guests from sun and weather.

Pergolino Shade Systems
Pergolino-style retractable roof systems provide flexible shade coverage for patios and outdoor spaces while maintaining an open-air environment.

Commercial Umbrellas
Commercial-quality outdoor umbrellas provide flexible shade for patios, outdoor dining areas, and gathering spaces.

Shade Sails
Shade sails offer a modern architectural shade solution for larger outdoor areas such as patios, courtyards, and gathering spaces.
