Sunbrella Doorhood Entrance Awning
Choosing an awning can be a daunting task. With so many manufacturers how can a homeowner know which product is best for their home? And which product is manufactured to resist fading? After all, once you’ve selected that perfect design and colour that will complement your home and yard it’s important that it keeps looking great, year after year. In our experience, we recommend the Sunbrella brand to our customers. Sunbrella fabric provides a wide range of colours and styles, and the fabric will withstand fading, year after year.
How does Sunbrella keep their fabric colours looking great while resisting fading? Sunbrella fabrics are manufactured using acrylic yarn that is 100% solution-dyed. The manufacturing process of solution-dying is to add colour to the acrylic fibers while they are still in a liquid state. This means that each individual fibre is dyed the brilliant colour that you see. When each fibre is dyed it locks the colour into the fabric giving the fabric a longer life as well as being easy to clean. Other fabric manufacturers simply dyed the surface of the fabric only. With this approach, the heat of the sun, wet rain and snow and drying winds can fade the colour in the fabric over time. With Sunbrella fabrics, the damage normally caused by severe weather is minimized, meaning homeowners can enjoy their Sunbrella awing for many years without the fear of fading fabric colours.
Sunbrella fabric is the most suitable choice for any awning. Sunbrella will withstand many years of severe, harsh climates such as heavy rains, wind, ice, snow and the hot sun, due to the high resistant quality of the acrylic yarns.

The price of the awnings depends greatly on the amount of material used to create it. An entry point option would be around $140 for a fixed awning to cover a window. These are usually 4′ wide and come with all fixtures and mounting hardware, and they can be installed by the home owner.
At the other end of the spectrum are the luxury custom models that are designed to the customers exact specifications. There are many companies who build these personalized awnings, and it’s important to find a professional that you feel comfortable working with.
This is a very sturdy fabric that is stain resistant which makes cleaning easier than many of the alternatives. In most cases, the awning can be cleaned while it is still on its frame. We’ve written a detailed step-by-step awning clean guide if you’d prefer more detail with pictures.

The first step is to brush away any loose dirt or debris. After this, you can use a garden hose to spray it off, and then you can use some soap to target any soiled spots. You’ll want to rinse off any soap residue and then let air dry.
One key aspect to remember is to always ensure the external temperature is above the freezing point before soaking the awning with a hose to avoid any possibility of cracking or damaging the fabric.
In most parts of the country, we recommend the light cleaning between 2-4 times per year, but the entire process should only take a few minutes.

Occasionally, there may be a need for a more rigorous cleaning. The Sunbrella fabric will not grow mold or mildew; however, material such as soil may become attached to the awning, and these foreign substances can be the breeding grown for mold. If this occurs, you will want to prepare a solution of with 1 part color safe bleach to 15 parts warm water, and then rub with a soft bristled brush.
If possible, taking with the fabric and leaving the trouble spot submerged in the bleach/water solution for 5 minutes will also greatly aid in removing any stuck on material. After, you’ll want to use the garden hose to thoroughly spray off the awning.
All sunbrealla fabrics have fluorocarbon outer coat which improves their ability to repel water; however, after several years this may need to be touched up.

On the off chance, the cleaning solution doesn’t completely restore the original appearance of the awning, we suggest contacting a professional cleaning company. Most large areas will have companies that will perform a deep clean with a power washer, and they will have professional strength chemicals to deal with any discoloration.
Because Sunbrella is one of the industry leaders in outdoor fabric, there will be firms in most areas with experience on this material. You will definitely want to ensure that any company you hire to deal with your awning has the information on type of fabric and frame that you have.
As a disclosure, we have no affiliation with Sunbrella or any other awning manufacturer/installer. I am a homeowner who learned a lot about shade structures when we moved to our new home in Arizona. The summer heat made our patio unberable so I became obsessed with learning as much as I could about awnings and other shade structures.
