Awning Measurement & Installation

Our artisans have many years of experience creating beautiful custom window, door, and entry awnings for fine homes in copper and other metals. The window and entry awning fabrication techniques used were handed down from father to son to our highly skilled copper artisans. We are the only complete online source for anything copper.

Awning Measurement

In the past, one had to find a qualified artisan and have him come to your location to fabricate your custom awning. Not any more! Our custom copper awnings are custom built one a time to your specifications and delivered to you ready for installation by semi-skilled workers. We’ve accomplished this though our unique unitary design method. Our awnings come to you in one piece, complete with flashings and mounting hardware, ready to fasten to the wall.

How to Measure Your Awning

Although awnings come in an infinite number of sizes, there are several common types:

Square or rectangular: the sides turn back to the wall at 90 degree angles to the front.
Oval or bow: bows out in a graceful arc from the wall. One variation has the window projecting out 8-18 inches at 90 degrees then arcing.
Round: the window is a full half circle or quite close to it.

Regardless of your awning type, the measurements you need are the depth (distance from the front of the window or awning back to the wall) length (from end to end where the awning meets the wall), and height. A word about height: often the height of the awning is merely a matter of personal taste, but other times there may be architectural obstacles to height, such as a second story window or balcony. Make sure you are aware of this and check to make sure you have sufficient room for it.
