This Greater New England installation shows automatic awnings fitted across the front windows of a brick home, with a matching smaller awning at the adjoining entry. The striped red-and-cream fabric gives the facade a traditional, welcoming look while the projections shade the glass and window frames.
The awnings are mounted neatly beneath the eaves and set above the security screens, keeping the window openings practical to use. Their scalloped front edge is visible in the finished installation, creating a softer detail against the straight lines of the brickwork and paving.
A practical way to shade front-facing windows
External window shade can make a real difference where sunlight reaches the glass for long periods. By intercepting direct light before it reaches the window, an awning can help reduce glare indoors and make rooms near the front of the home more comfortable through the day. It also gives the façade a finished appearance without changing the home’s existing windows.
For this installation, the two awnings have been sized to suit their separate openings. The wider unit covers the main window, while the smaller unit shades the adjacent window near the entry. That measured-to-opening approach keeps the look balanced rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Why automatic awnings suit this style of home
Automatic operation is particularly useful for awnings installed over frequently used windows. Homeowners can extend or retract the shade without manually operating each unit, making it easier to respond to changing sun or weather conditions. The final choice of controls, fabric and dimensions should always be discussed during measure and quote, so the awning suits the individual elevation and how the room is used.
