Retractable Awnings
Why Choose a Retractable Awning?
- The Shade, of course! – A retractable awning can create a shaded area where you can relax and enjoy your outdoor space! Did you know that being in the shade feels 10 to 15 degrees cooler than in direct sunlight?
- UV protection – Our awnings block up to 94% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, protecting you as well as protecting your outdoor furniture from fading and damage.
- Energy savings – A retractable awning will decrease the sunlight entering your home and can help you save energy and reduce your electricity bills.
- Versatility – Sometimes you want the warmth of the sun or the daylight entering your home. With a retractable awning, you get shade when you want it, not when you don’t.
- Value – A retractable awning adds beauty and value to your home. It will increase your quality of living and enjoyment of your home, as well as increase the home value.
- Cost-Effective – A high-quality awning will cost less than adding a roof over your outdoor space. Skip the hassle of building permits and construction projects.

Retractable Awning Options
An Awning Design for Every Home
You can design and customize the awning of your dreams by choosing from our variety of models, sizes, options, and accessories. Each awning is expertly manufactured to your specifications in our state-of-the-art facility in Souderton, Pennsylvania. American Awnings will help you determine the best awning model for your unique needs and desires.
The Estate
The Estate Awning is the most popular model that we offer. It adds welcome shade to decks and patios in a large range of sizes, protecting you and your family from the sun’s heat and damaging rays.
The Estate Slim-fit
Engineered and designed to fit narrow spaces, this model squeezes a lot of shade into small areas. The arms cross over each other when retracted, so its projection is not compromised by its width. It’s ideal for apartment or condominium balconies, terraces, or places with limited mounting widths.
The Eko
This model offers quality shade at an affordable price. It offers many of the same features, benefits, and options as our other awning models, but there are fewer size options to choose from.
The Manor
A full cassette on this awning model protects the fabric when not in use. The fabric is supported with a hood and tray, keeping it clear of dirt and debris, making it a great option for beachfront or lakeside homes.
The Villa
Like the Manor, this model has a full cassette protecting the fabric when retracted. It is available in smaller mounting widths, and due to a different type of support in the awning frame, it does not require as much frame support.
