Is there a galvanized plate custom fabricated connecting the awnings to the house? »
· Comment · 5 months ago
Ana Williamson Architect Yes, it is a custom made "knife plate" that attaches to backing on the wall and the wood members supporting the trellis

Great exterior window shading idea! - Remodeling a 60s home. How could one make these look appropriate on the exterior of a red brick ranch? I don't want them coming off looking like attached slatted chairs, but the house needs something to shade the windows! Would love to paint the exterior, but that's not feasible. Thanks for any suggestions! »

Ana Williamson Architect It should work on your house but we suggest that you talk to a contractor and he should be able to give you the best solutions for your house.

For my exterior - Where do I buy these awnings »
· Comment · 6 months ago
Interiors International, Inc. You have them made they are custom. On the bright side they are a simple design using readily available lumber. This could be an easy DIY project if you have any experience using power tools.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to 7 Details for the Well-Dressed House
For a traditional aesthetic, install a trellis to shade the windows and reduce your energy consumption while adding punch and enlivening the exterior.
added by Kenny Grono to Contractor Tips: How to Choose and Install Windows
3. Environment. Rain, sun and temperature shifts can take their toll on windows. If you want the look of a painted wood window, consider aluminum-clad wood. There are many color choices, and the paint job will last much longer. Trim pieces like brick molding are also available in the same material, so the entire assembly is low maintenance.
