Modern high end materials are neutral enough to match any home décor. The strong steel support arms and aluminum front and back trims of this door awning are sleek and stylish. Perhaps the biggest advantage of an awning over a door is that it offers protection against weather elements. Thankfully advancing solves this problem by offering ranges of sizes from 8 x 7 all the way up to 16 x 10.
