Topic: Awning


  
  Awning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The location of an awning on a building is either above a window, a door, or above the area along a sidewalk.
With the addition of columns an awning is able to extend enough from a building to line an entryway, as in the case of an entrance to a hotel.
In commercial buildings such as these, an awning is often painted with information as to the name, business, and address, thus acting as a sign or billboard in addition to providing shade from the sun, break from steep winds and dryness from rain or snow.
