Window Awnings

The main types of window awnings that are used on Mobile Homes are made from aluminum, the most common is the type called Panorama.

 The Panorama is made from strips of aluminum that are run though a forming die which forms two sides of the strip.

The final result looks like this:

I have to make a comment regarding the installation of this awning.
It should be at lest 12 inches wider so that it will extend 6 inches on each side of the window frame.
Depending on the side of the building that the awning is mounted on, that is north, south, east or west. The Sun changes position and will shine past the side of the awning. This can be more or less severe depending on which side of the building.

For your information lets say that this awning is mounted on the side of a home that faces west.

In mid summer the Sun would be shining sraight into the window, the early morning sun and the late afternoon sun could shine though the lower part of the window. This is unlikly because in a high percentage of the time a building along side would block the sun.
