FRP composites are not only highly customizable and resistant to strong winds, they are also non-conductive and resistant to corrosion, impact, heat, moisture, and even insects.
When you think of awnings, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the old-fashioned awnings used for porches. Typically, these are wooden or metal poles attached to a porch and used to lay a heavy piece of fabric above the head. While these may be a short-term solution, they are not ideal in the long run.
Wooden poles can easily rot from water damage, while metal poles can easily rust in the elements. Fabric can also rot over time due to exposure. You will never see these types of shades on the upper floors of any building. They are simply impractical.
FRP composite shades can handle almost anything nature throws at them. Pultruded products require little to no maintenance and have a life expectancy of up to 15 years.
You don't have to worry about damage caused by exposure to the elements such as sun, wind or rain. Overall, any type of FRP composite upgrade to a building is a great investment.
