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.
