Frequently Asked Questions
Why Awnings and Canopies?
Installing an awning or canopy is like adding
another room to your house or additional space for your business.
In New England, we have such a short period of
time in which we can enjoy the outdoors and the nice warm weather. The last
thing we want to have happen is to be forced off our decks and patios due to
unbearable
sunshine, heat and minor inclement weather.
With an awning or
sun canopy you will greatly enhance
your outdoor living, while protecting your family and furnishings from the sun's
harmful UV rays.
Fabric awnings will help you save on
cooling costs. And, if you choose a retractable awning system, you’ll have the
best of both worlds - sun when you want it and shade when you need it. Finally,
with all of the wonderful choices you have for fabrics, we can create a sun
management solution that will compliment your décor beautifully.

What sort of quality standards should I look for
in a retractable awning?
 Retractable
awnings vary greatly in their design, manufacturing, attention to quality and
overall strength and functionality. The higher the quality, the longer the life
and overall enjoyment you can expect from your awning.
While there are no US standards for awning
quality control,
Eclipse Awnings adhere to the widely used European guidelines. Such as the
DIN* guidelines for raw materials and components. For finished product Eclipse
Awnings follow the German TUV guidelines.
In fact all of the Eclipse products meet with
demanding European norms for control and ISO 9001 standards are followed at all
stages of component production. (Deutsches Institut fur Normung) (TUV is an
international service group, which documents the safety and quality of products,
systems and services). For more information on TUV or DIN go to
www.us.tuv.com or
