Since 1940, Lehman Awning Company has been providing individuals from Millersburg to Alliance with the quality awnings they need to enhance the exterior of their property. Although the custom designed awnings they craft can help promote a business or compliment a home’s overall exterior design, they can also serve a multitude of other functions. One function that awnings have been proven to provide since their introduction is protection from sunlight.

For business owners, having window displays properly protected against sunlight is exceptionally important. This is because frequent exposure to the sun’s UV rays can distort the color of clothing items and other materials that may be visible in the display. With fabric or aluminum awnings like those available from Lehman Awning Company in Stark County, these areas can become shaded against harmful UV rays that might discolor merchandise.  Window awnings on residential properties work in the same way by eliminating the amount of sunlight that can enter a home and discolor furniture, curtains, tablecloths, and even carpeting.

Because window awnings eliminate these harmful rays from entering a home or business, they also help keep the heat that goes along with it from entering as well. In turn, the shade window awnings provide for commercial or residential properties in Wayne County and beyond can help reduce energy costs—especially during the summer months. After all, sunlight frequently streaming into a home or business can cause the interior temperature to rise. With the installation of quality awnings from Lehman Awning Company, the interior temperature of a property can be reduced by as much as 15 degrees. Patio awnings can also help reduce energy costs for a property while creating an additional shaded space outside.

For properties that lack interior space but have an outdoor space, a patio awning can be an excellent addition. Just as window awnings create a cooler interior for homes and businesses, patio awnings create a cooler spot outside. In fact, these shaded spots can feel up to 20 degrees cooler than the actual temperature outside. For this reason, restaurants in Wooster, Alliance, Dover, and other areas throughout the region often incorporate these types of awnings onto their own patio spaces. Not only will this create a shaded place for customers to relax, but a place for them to enjoy the beautiful outside weather without being directly subjected to the heat or sun that may accompany it. These awnings and many others can also be a help during the rainy weather by keeping certain areas where individuals may dine or walk dry. However, properties aren’t the only things that may need protection from the changing weather often seen in areas like New Philadelphia, Alliance, and Millersburg.

In order to provide protection to other products, Lehman Awning Company creates custom covers. Like awnings, these covers help protect items like grills, air conditioning units, and pools from the elements. Of these custom covers they offer, their custom semi-truck tarps are some of the most sought after. With these truck tarps, important semi-truck hauls and loads can be protected against the elements as they drive through Wayne County and other areas throughout the United States. Best of all, these semi-truck tarps can be made with secure rubber straps and ropes to ensure that it stays in place during travel. Should repairs need to be made to an existing truck tarp, the professional sewing staff of Lehman Awning Company will work to resolve it at an affordable price.
