Outdoor Seating Awnings

Outdoor seating awnings are one of the best ways to expand your restaurant patio. An affordable option for business expansion, adding outdoor awnings can also increase your seasonal business as many people enjoy dining outside during late spring, through summer, and in early fall. Providing shade from the sun and other elements, awnings are a fantastic way to get more people on your patio. Adding an outdoor seating awning from Marygrove will add value to your business and generate more patrons year-round.

Louvered Roof at Restaurant Installation

Louvered Roofs

Our Louvered Roof Systems, also known as retractable pergolas, are an effective way to block harmful sun rays and rain while still providing plenty of air circulation and a bright atmosphere. They are designed with a series of horizontal slats that are angled. These slats can be adjusted and will rotate 180 degrees with just the push of a button.Retractable pergolas are an exceptional choice for restaurants, as they provide shade and shelter for your customers during all temperatures and weather.

Window Shades for Restaurants

Window Shades and Solar Screens

Marygrove’s remote-controlled window shades and solar screens are an excellent way to shield customers from the weather while still providing ventilation. Our commercial window shades are made with PVC-coated fiberglass, which is designed to block damaging sunlight from reaching the inside of your building. Marygrove window shades also feature a unique construction that allows for plenty of air circulation, helping your business remain cool and comfortable for customers. 

Commercial Awnings FAQs

First impressions are key for continued business. Do you own a B2C business with a physical location? Installing commercial awnings can enhance the exterior, making it a more welcoming environment. 

Commercial awnings are popular with companies in many industries. Awnings are common at car dealerships, fine dining and fast-food restaurants, bars, hotels and inns, jewelry stores, and storefronts of other quaint retail shops. 


Commercial Awnings Can Improve Visibility

A commercial awning can help your business stick out and become more visible to the public. An eye-catching commercial awning from Marygrove will also make your store become more eye-catching for would-be customers. If you have a known store color or perhaps if you have multiple store locations, people will be able to pick out your brand by the color and type of awning you have.

A Commercial Awning Can Increase Your Usable Space

Restaurants have been using commercial awnings for many years. A commercial awning at a restaurant provides shade and increases the outdoor space where customers can dine. There are always people who want to eat outside in the fresh air. A Marygrove commercial awning will help keep people comfortable on your patio and out of the elements. In addition to restaurants, an awning can also be used for any type of store.

A clothing store could display products outside its building without having to bring them all in if rain were to come down. A commercial awning is great to have for sidewalk sales, too. An awning allows customers to shop longer without being baked by the hot summer sun. A commercial awning provides protection for products and customers while increasing your usable space.

A Commercial Awning Can Protect Indoor Products, Too

The sun’s powerful UV rays can have a harmful effect on products kept in store windows. That is true unless you have a commercial awning to keep the sunlight from directly beaming in. A storefront commercial awning could save you money in the long run by protecting your valuable merchandise.

Not only is merchandise affected by the sun, but furniture, walls, and flooring can also take an irreversible beating. A commercial awning also can also keep snow and rainwater from being tracked into your store.

A Business With a Commercial Awning Looks Attractive

People like businesses to look professional, clean, and attractive. All three of these components can be achieved by adding a commercial awning to your business.

First impressions are powerful. A commercial awning may be the first time a customer or client notices your business. Let’s look at how to make the best first impression by choosing a Marygrove commercial awning that meets your needs and makes you stand out from the crowd.

Consider What Type of Material You’d Like for Your Commercial Awning

At Marygrove, we will show you all the material options for your commercial awning. We will go over the pros and cons with you and the price differences. There is a wide variety of commercial awning materials, ranging from fabrics to metal. The choice is ultimately yours as we guide you through finding that perfect choice.

Do You Want a Stationary or Retractable Commercial Awning?

There are pros and cons to stationary and retractable awnings. You may already know which type of commercial awning you would like. But if you don’t, we will help you make the decision on which type will best fit your needs. We will go over the advantages and disadvantages of both types so that you can make the most informed decision on a solution that will suit your needs and your liking.

Make Sure to Follow All Building Codes

Before making a commercial awning purchase, it would be wise to make sure that the size of your potential awning does not violate any city, township, or business district codes. These are the little things that can take the joy out of purchasing a commercial awning if you don’t follow the correct steps in order. The first step is to determine whether having an awning may mean that your business is in violation of any codes before you go any further.

Usually, most businesses will have “normal” commercial awning restrictions that just make sense. Of course, you will not want an awning hanging over a street. You should not have a commercial awning that blocks a neighboring business’ storefront. This just seems like common courtesy and common sense, but most codes have been set up because, sometime in history, someone tried to do something that caused issues with neighboring businesses.

Final Thoughts on Commercial Awnings

Purchasing a stylish commercial awning can accentuate your business in many positive ways. A commercial awning not only looks professional but can shield your products inside and outside from the weather. Let’s not forget that an awning can protect your customers from the outside elements. A commercial awning can provide guests with shade and protection from rain and snow. The real question to ask yourself is: What is not to love about a commercial awning?

Rules and regulations for awning installation and use vary from area to area. Check your local township or county requirements before installing an awning on the outside of your building. Also be sure to check with the building manager if you rent your business space. He or she may have more information on obtaining a permit or may even get one for you.

Many factors should be considered when choosing whether to buy a metal or canvas awning for your business. For example, what is the purpose of your commercial awning? Are you looking to create an outdoor room or just cover extra space with shade? Aluminum awnings are ideal for outdoor rooms, whereas canvas awnings are more decorative and perfect for additional shade.

Location also plays a large role in determining the type of awning to buy for your business. Do you run a restaurant with outdoor seating that faces west? You will want some way to shade your guests in the late afternoon, so the sun does not interrupt their otherwise pleasant dining experience. You can also add roll screens around the outside of your awning to turn the outdoor space into an impromptu room if it gets too windy.

Canvas fabric awnings offer more variety. Custom commercial awnings made of canvas are available in various colors, patterns, and valance designs to match any style. However, if you require more shade rather than decoration, you may need to choose darker fabric color. A benefit to both types of awnings: your logo or custom design can be added to either cloth or aluminum.

An aluminum awning requires less maintenance and cleaning than a canvas awning. Rain rolls right off of angled aluminum awnings; whereas if not properly installed, water can pool on top of a fabric awning. It is important to regularly clean canvas awnings, so they do not harbor mold or mildew. Weather conditions limit the life of canvas fabric awnings, so it is not uncommon for them to last an average of five years.

Aluminum awnings can serve a more solid purpose. It is easy to create a brand-new outdoor room with an aluminum awning, as it often looks like an extension of your building rather than a cover over your entryway. Metal standing seam awnings are perfect for covering arenas, providing shelter for outdoor performers.

Commercial awnings work wonders over windows, doors, and any long walkway. A storefront with an awning is likely to draw more traffic and business than a store without that additional pop of personality.

Restaurants and hotels in large cities like New York City often add long dome awnings that extend outward from the main entrance to attract attention and cover their crowds. Bakeries and coffee shops with outdoor seating in the city often have smaller awnings along the exterior of their buildings.

If you run a restaurant with an outdoor seating area, it would be wrong not to have a canopy over at least part of the back deck or patio, especially if you run a beach front business. Marygrove’s outdoor seating awnings are ideal for meeting this need. Not all canopies have to be attached to a structure. A free-standing awning over a section of patio seating is an excellent way to keep guests cool on those hot summer days and enhances the experience of evening dining. Line your commercial awning with LED lights to give a more relaxing feeling to customers enjoying date nights under your awning. Outdoor lighting is always a plus.

Heavy duty aluminum awnings are ideal for covering your loading dock to keep your products and stock guys safe from inclement weather.

Be sure to hire a professional to install any awnings you want to put up. DIY awning kits are not ideal, especially when using fixed awnings for commercial purposes. You may also risk voiding the warranty if you don’t take advantage of professional installation services offered by the manufacturer.

If you should need to repair a commercial awning, consult your owner’s manual to find the proper procedure for ordering replacement parts. Any parts used not from the manufacturer or doing the repairs yourself could void the awning warranty.

If you have a fabric commercial awning, it is important to wash it regularly to ensure it stays free of mold and mildew. Rinse the surface lightly with water before washing. Use a light cleaner diluted with water when washing the awning so the mixture doesn’t bleach the fabric. An old rag, soft bristled brush, or soapy sponge is best for scrubbing the awning. Avoid abrasive sponges. Rinse thoroughly with light water pressure.

Aluminum awnings need less maintenance to preserve their lifespan. Although they can be cleaned the same way as fabric awnings, aluminum awnings do not need to be cleaned as often.

Be sure to also rinse the patio or deck beneath and around the awning, too, so the solution doesn’t stain or leave soapy residue. And always use a ladder to get to the hard-to-reach spots so you don’t strain your muscles. It is also helpful to have someone spot you while on the ladder just to play it safe.
