Match Your Home’s Architectural Style

You want your windows to match and complement your existing design aesthetics, which means you need to take into account the architectural style of your home. Whether you have a Tudor or contemporary design, it’s best to adhere to your home’s architectural style for guidance.

Decide on the Purpose

While the most basic function of windows is to allow light to come through, windows can also serve as a doorway. With this in mind, take into consideration the purpose of your windows and its awnings. If providing a great view is essential or simply for ornamental purposes, make sure to mention this to your Coastwide Shade Sails sales agent.

Awning Materials

Another important factor to consider is the awning material to use. For one, cotton awnings that are coated with a layer of acrylic paint are popular as it makes it waterproof. Vinyl is also a popular option especially in areas with cooler climates with a high incidence of rain. If you want to invest in longevity and durability, consider choosing a polyester material.
