In most cases,
the retractable awning can be installed on the exterior wall of
the home.
If you have vinyl, wood, or a specialty
material such as concrete board, there is no problem installing
the awning to those surfaces. The installer will locate the
studs or a header, and attached the awning with lag screws through
siding material into the structure of the house.
If you have a brick home, our experts
will determine the exact installation of the awning. In some
of the newer brick homes, our installers attach through the brick
to the structure of the home. In other situations, an epoxy
fastener system allows the awning to be secured to the brick surface.
If you have drivit or stucco, the awning
can usually be attached to the wall, but the installation will
need to be inspected by our experts. This type of installation
may require an additional board to support the awning.
Basic Requirements for Standard
Installation:
1. From the ground to the top of where the
awning will be attached should be at least 7’6”.
2. The awning requires
8-9” of clearance between the top of doors and windows and the bottom
of soffit or overhang.
If you are concerned that your
home cannot meet these requirements, don't worry! Many homes
don't meet these requirements. Take a look at the specialty
installations below. |
