Awnings, Canopies & Shades – Richmond / Charlottesville VA
Dunn Construction now carries a full line of retractable fabric awnings, canopies, solar shades and window & door awnings in Richmond and Charlottesville, Virginia.
Retractable Fabric Awnings
A retractable fabric awning installed by Dunn Construction can reduce energy costs for your indoor spaces as it blocks the sun from heating up your windows. With four units to choose from, we have an awning to fit your budget and needs, anywhere you want shade. Our acrylic fabrics are guaranteed against rot and mildew and with over 200 fabrics to choose from – solid colors, stripes and tweeds – we can create a unique accent for your home. Aristocrat awnings have an exclusive feature – a tray that keeps the fabric tight while extended which eliminates the need for roller tube supports which can cause damage. These awnings mount nicely to your house wall, roof or soffit area, and come with varying widths starting at 5ft with projection lengths ranging from 4’-11” to 13’. Retractable awning units are available as hand operated or motorized, and have automatic sun and wind sensors available as an option. Some awnings even come with a light bar kit.
Retractable Canopies
A retractable canopy can give you shade when and where you want it. We have freestanding canopies and canopies that can mount to a wall. They can even be made to fit your existing pergola to add shade when you need it. Retractable canopies are great for pool side, hot tubs, patios and balconies – anywhere you want shade or privacy. They come in a variety of sizes, styles & shapes, and can be custom fit to your space. They are available with motorized operation or manual operation.
Solar Shades
Solar shades are perfect for use on porches, sunrooms and windows where the sun shines the most. They can be the best and most efficient way to block heat from the sun. It is reported that they can help reduce energy costs from air conditioning because 50% of solar heat comes through the glass. Solar shades add privacy while still providing visibility to the outside.
