Providing reliable sun and rain protection while reinforcing brand identity, these awnings elevate both aesthetic and operational value for your property.

Fabric Options

Goodwin‑Cole sources only commercial-grade, fire-certified fabrics for all fixed awnings—ensuring peace of mind and code compliance for your business. Fire-resistant options such as vinyl-coated polyester or inherently flame-retardant acrylic fabrics meet standards including NFPA 701 and California Title 19, often with additional ASTM or CPAI-84 certifications. These materials deliver brilliant color retention, water resistance, and reliable public-safety performance suitable for restaurant patios, retail fronts, and hotel entryways.

Beyond fire safety, these fabrics offer exceptional durability and usability. Vinyl-coated polyester is inherently waterproof, tear-resistant, and mildew-resistant—ideal for year-round exposure, coastal climates, or high-traffic environments. Flame-retardant acrylic fabrics, while lighter and visually refined, balance UV resistance and fade stability with self-extinguishing properties. Our fabrics maintain vivid hues through repeated cleaning and sun exposure, typically backed by robust 5–10 year warranties. These fabrics ensure your commercial awning remains vibrant, safe, and business-ready for years to come.

Fixed Metal Awnings

Goodwin‑Cole’s fixed metal awnings combine architectural strength with timeless appeal, offering a sleek, low-maintenance solution for commercial spaces that demand durability and design continuity. Constructed from high-quality powder-coated aluminum or steel, these awnings provide year-round protection from sun, rain, and wind—making them ideal for storefronts, entrances, walkways, and seating areas.

Built to last, metal awnings resist corrosion, fading, and wear, even in high-traffic or weather-prone environments. They also contribute to energy efficiency by reducing solar heat gain, helping keep indoor spaces cooler and more comfortable. With custom shapes like dome, bullnose, or box profiles—and available in a variety of finishes and colors—these structures can complement any building style while reinforcing brand identity.

Every system is engineered to meet local structural requirements and installed with precision to ensure long-term performance. Whether you’re enhancing curb appeal or creating functional outdoor coverage, fixed metal awnings offer lasting value with a polished, professional finish.

Branding & Customization

Transform your awning into a highly visible branding asset with custom-printed logos, taglines, or graphic elements. Goodwin‑Cole uses advanced digital and heat-transfer printing methods to apply sharp, fade-resistant graphics directly onto premium awning fabrics. This allows businesses to reinforce their brand identity right at the curb—whether it’s a restaurant name, boutique logo, or company color palette. With a wide selection of fabric hues and Pantone-matching capabilities, your awning can be a seamless extension of your overall visual branding, creating instant recognition and a lasting impression.

The lower edge of your awning—its valance—is an often-overlooked design opportunity. Goodwin‑Cole offers a variety of valance styles including classic scalloped, clean-lined straight cuts, or bold boxed options. Each can be finished with custom piping, color-contrast borders, or decorative trim to elevate visual impact. Valances are also ideal for applying street-facing branding or messaging, making them popular among retail storefronts and hospitality clients. Whether your aesthetic leans modern or traditional, valance styles and trims provide a polished finishing touch that adds both character and professionalism.

Extend your awning’s usefulness beyond daylight hours with discreet, energy-efficient LED lighting. Integrated directly into the awning’s support arms or housing, these low-profile fixtures provide functional illumination while enhancing ambiance. Ideal for restaurants, retail entrances, or commercial walkways, LED systems can light signage, increase nighttime visibility, and create a more welcoming environment. Weather-resistant and long-lasting, these lights can be wired to automatic timers or sensors, allowing you to control lighting based on time of day or occupancy—while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance.

For clients who require their awning to complement unique architectural details or high-end building materials, Goodwin‑Cole offers a range of specialty finishes. Support frames and hardware can be powder-coated in custom colors or textured to resemble bronze, stainless steel, or brushed aluminum. Decorative end caps, finials, or edge trims can be added to match ornamental ironwork or modern façade elements. These enhancements are especially popular in mixed-use developments, luxury storefronts, and historic districts, where visual cohesion and quality craftsmanship are essential to the brand experience.
