Benefits
Key Features
The Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA) estimates awnings can save as much as $200 a year by reducing the time the air conditioner runs. The association says the energy performance of an awning is usually affected by its style, fabric color and orientation. Realtors say that awnings make their job easier because awnings are "like jewelry on a house." that adds value in four ways:
An undressed window inside your house cries out for draperies, blinds, or shades. Dressing exterior windows is just as important because unadorned windows can make your home appear cold and unwelcoming. Awnings add curb appeal to your house, as window dressings inside add warmth and decorative value. When visitors approach your home, the awnings communicate that you care enough about your house to add curb appeal and aesthetic value.
In the summer, when the sun beats down on your windows all day, you spend more money to keep your house cool. Awnings add shade and block the sun, reducing heat build-up. When your home is cooler, your air conditioner won't have to work as hard or run as often. You save money while you live there, and you pass these savings on to the next owner, which adds value to the sale of your home.
Add a patio awning to your house to make your outdoor space more comfortable. When you can sit outside in the shade instead of the blazing hot sun, it will seem like you have added outdoor living space to your home. You and your guests will enjoy being outside and won't have to raise, lower, and adjust a patio umbrella constantly. This is a nice convenience and a value you pass on to a home buyer.
Awnings are optional accessories that show you are a homeowner who cares about your property. Installing awnings indicates to potential buyers that you probably maintain other aspects of your home, such as the heating and air conditioning systems and the plumbing. Buyers are more likely to purchase a house that has been maintained than a rundown house.

How to Measure
Brasilia Europa Retractable Awning Measurment Details
Your wall needs to be free of any obstructions (doors, windows, vents, light fixtures) over the whole width of the awning over, by an area 9.5” inches high.
Measure the wall where you want to install your awning. You need at least 96 inches from the ground to any roof, eaves or overhang.
Awnings have from 3 to 6 brackets, depending on length. It is easier to install on a wall than under the soffit if you have the choice.
If your wall is made of masonry, you will need to have at least 4 rows of bricks over the top of the bracket for a safe installation. The weight of the rows above prevents the awning from pulling the bricks loose.
Whether you are installing on siding, masonry or other types of wall, the outer corner of the walls have a few inches without structural parts. Consider this if you have limited space to install the brackets (because of a narrow wall or windows close to the corners.)
If you don’t have free space on your wall, open the soffit and look inside your eaves. You need to see if your trusses or rafters are level or slanted and if they are strong enough to support the awning.
