Awning types we fit
Four awning types cover most East Rand needs, and all match a carport in material and colour so a property reads as one design. A window awning shades and cools the room behind north- and west-facing glass; a door awning keeps an entrance dry; a patio awning roofs an outdoor living area; and a shopfront awning shades a display window and a doorway on the Boksburg, Benoni and Springs high streets.
| Awning | Covers | Price band |
|---|---|---|
| Window awning | North/west-facing windows | R1,200 – R4,500 |
| Door / shopfront awning | Entrances, back doors, shop windows | R1,500 – R5,000 |
| Patio awning (steel/IBR) | Outdoor living areas | R4,500 – R18,000 |
Why awnings matter on the Highveld
The afternoon sun comes in low and hard on the western side of a building, heating rooms and fading floors, furniture and shop stock. A fixed awning over the glass cuts that heat before it reaches the window, which does more for the temperature inside than internal blinds. Fitted in the same steel or aluminium as the carport and colour-matched to the roof, it also finishes the exterior. For a full outdoor room rather than a window shade, see patios and pergolas.
Awnings with a carport project
Awnings are usually fitted alongside a carport, which is why the two share a roofline and a colour. Adding the window, door or shopfront awnings while the crew and the steel are already on site keeps the cost down. Price the combination on the carport prices in Ekurhuleni page or start with a carport design that carries the roofline across.
Common questions
How much are awnings in Ekurhuleni?
Awnings in Ekurhuleni start at about R1,200 for a window awning, R1,500 for a door or shopfront awning and R4,500–R18,000 for a patio awning, supplied and installed in steel or aluminium matched to the carport roofline.
Do you fit shopfront awnings for East Rand businesses?
Yes. KB Carports fits shopfront awnings on the Boksburg, Benoni, Germiston and Springs high streets, shading a display window and doorway in steel or aluminium colour-matched to the building. They cut sun on stock and mark the entrance.
Do awnings help with Highveld heat?
Yes. A fixed awning over north- and west-facing glass blocks the low afternoon sun before it reaches the window, which cuts room heat more effectively than internal blinds and protects floors, furniture and shop stock from fading.
