What are marquises?
Awnings are classic outdoor sun blinds with a recognizable, stylish shape. The fabric drapes over the window like a hood, blocking sunlight before it warms the glass. This keeps the interior more comfortable, while adding character to the facade. STERK supplies custom-made awnings, offers advice with fabric samples at your home, and provides professional installation.
Standard 5-year warranty on awnings
On awnings supplied and installed by STERK, you receive a standard 5-year warranty on both product and installation. We carefully measure your window and facade, discuss color, model, and material, and install the awning with our own professional technicians. This ensures you get a solution that fits your home and will continue to function properly for years to come.
Frequently asked questions about awnings
What are awnings?
Awnings are outdoor sun blinds with a characteristic hood shape. They block the sun from the front and partly from the sides, making them very suitable for windows where the sun falls at an angle. Due to their shape, awnings immediately give your facade more character, especially for homes with classic details.
When do you choose awnings instead of a sunshade?
You choose canopies when appearance, side shade and window shading are more important than covering a large patio. A canopy is fixed above the window and follows the facade. For ease of daily use, you can also opt for electric canopies.
Can awnings be custom made?
Yes, awnings are tailored to the size of your window, facade, desired projection, fabric color, and model. This is important for a neat proportion on the house. Read more about custom awnings if you want to know exactly how measuring and assembling works.
How much do awnings cost?
The price of awnings depends on size, material, operation, fabric, and installation. A small window awning is priced differently from a wider version or an electric awning. STERK will visit your home, bring samples, and provide a clear, fair-priced quote.
Which materials are possible for awnings?
Awnings come in various designs. Aluminum is popular because it is strong, sleek, and low-maintenance. If you want a durable and neat finish with little maintenance, also check out our aluminum awnings.
What color awning suits my house?
This depends on the window frames, bricks, paintwork, and style of your house. Dark colours provide calm and contrast, while light colours blend in more subtly. A popular modern choice is anthracite awnings, especially with black or dark window frames.
What is the difference between a cap model and a flap model?
A pet awning has a compact, fixed appearance and is popular for windows. A folding arm awning can open further and offers more flexibility in shade. Which one fits better depends on the window, facade, and desired aesthetic.
Are awnings also suitable for a patio?
Yes, in certain situations, awnings can also be used on a patio, especially when you want shade close to the facade and are looking for a classic appearance. For that application, we have separate information about awnings for your patio.
