Aluminum Awnings for Odd Sized Windows

Posted on June 5, 2012 by Tom Haggett

One concern for those looking into getting aluminum awnings is odd sized windows. Odd sized windows do not normally present a problem because we have a wide variety of sizes of aluminum awnings available and can accommodate our customers when they need a custom size.

Odd sized windows may present a problem for some clamshell aluminum awning manufacturers and installers. We on the other hand, can handle the challenge of manufacturing and installing aluminum awnings for oddly shaped windows.

Being we manufacture what we sell we have the advantage of producing custom orders, including unconventional sizes and shapes.

In order to properly measure for sizing your custom clamshell aluminum awnings, we measure the length and width of your window, including the window trim. Technically, the awning size should be a bit wider than the actual window size to block any sunlight from different angles.

In addition, we build and install aluminum screen rooms, carports, carport covers, and aluminum storage sheds. Contact us today for an estimate here in the Central Florida area, and bookmark our blog and website for news, tips and advice in the world of Haggetts Aluminum.

Aluminum Awning Considerations

Posted on May 20, 2012 by Tom Haggett

When purchasing aluminum awnings for your home, keep these considerations in mind. Storm protection is important during hurricane season, and when deciding on what your needs are, it could be helpful to know what is important to ponder first.

Realize you have a variety of colors to choose from. Think about what sizes or styles match your existing trim and what would be most appropriate for your home. Contemplate a color scheme that gives your mobile home the touch it needs.

Take into consideration how much you want to spend for your aluminum awnings or shutters. Sometimes less is more, and in other cases you get what you pay for. At Haggetts Aluminum, you can be sure you get the value for your money, both for the materials and for a job well done. Our happy customers refer us to others regularly and others are return clients as well.

Materials are another important consideration. Washing off aluminum awnings is far easier than cleaning fabric awnings. Fabric awnings tend to fade in color more than aluminum clamshell awnings. Also, aluminum awnings are sturdier than fabric which could rip and tear in heavier storms.

Fabric is easier to install and require less framing because of its light weight, and usually less expensive than other materials. Therefore fabric awning installations could be faster and easier than aluminum awnings.

Fully Adjustable Aluminum Awnings

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Tom Haggett

When planning aluminum awnings for your home, we offer fully adjustable aluminum awnings. Knowing what is available is half the battle in any aluminum awning project, so consider some of these advantages to obtaining fully adjustable aluminum awnings for your mobile home here in Central Florida.

Our manual aluminum awnings are manually opened and closed by hand. Loosen each of two thumbscrews to adjust. The extension mechanism is a hollow telescoping rod that may be adjusted anywhere between fully open or closed, and then locked in by tightening the thumbscrews.

One of the advantages to owning manually operated aluminum awnings is that there is no need for electricity to open and close them. Should the electricity go out, you still can adjust your awnings up or down with ease.

Another benefit of manually operated fully adjustable aluminum awnings is the savings. Aluminum awnings save money on the electricity bill by reducing heat absorption in the home. When the summer months are at full blast, the shade can contribute to keeping your living space cool.

Aluminum awnings are affordable, fully adjustable, durable, easy to clean, and come in many styles, shapes, colors and even materials. Contact us today by phone at 321-978-5500 or email us for an estimate in the Central Florida area!

Screen Room Year Round Benefits

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Tom Haggett

Haggetts Aluminum offers a wide variety of commercial and residential services from custom clamshell aluminum awnings to screen room enclosures. Review these year round benefits of having your own custom built screen room.

Protection from damage to your tables, chairs and other porch furniture and items is a great advantage for having a screen room enclosure. A screen room can deter falling leaves, dirt, debris and trash and even tree branches from entering your front porch area thus preventing serious damage to your home or patio furniture in the event of a storm. This makes clean up less stressful because any foreign objects will be kept out and away from the front of your home.

A screen room allows ventilation and natural airflow inside for a healthy and relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy gentle breezes while still being covered from the sun, rain and other elements all year round.

Shade yourself and your home from the sun’s rays when it gets a bit too hot to be outside. Screen rooms can protect your porch, patio and home from sun damage which could deteriorate the wood and fade the color of your home.

A screen room enclosure provides additional space for storage. By adding a screen room you increase the amount of space you have available. Screen rooms can be used for entertaining in any season. Your guests also won’t have to worry about bugs being a nuisance if you decide to serve meals outside.

Keep unwanted pests out such as mosquitoes or forest animals that could potentially harm your family and pets. They are not only bothersome but could carry unwanted diseases.

If you have kids, use the additional room for a play area for them. Being attached to the house it is a safe place to play. You can keep an eye from them from the comfort of your living room, and the window screens prevent toys from flying out into the yard.

If you need a screen room enclosure here in Central Florida, contact us today by phone at 321-978-5500 for an estimate. Contact us for a no obligation quote for adding shade protection with awnings, screen rooms, and carports or carport covers, plus added storage space buildings for your Central Florida home or mobile home.

Florida Mobile Home Restoration

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Tom Haggett

This illustrated Florida mobile home transformation project shows before and after results repairing and replacing a mobile home exterior. Haggetts Aluminum specializes in custom aluminum solutions for awnings, screen rooms, and carport covers. We provide custom reconstruction for Central Florida mobile home owners, too.

An older home with a solid interior structure may be worth the cost of a makeover rather than buying a new mobile home.

Next, view the after photograph when the project was nearing completion and notice how attractive it is compared to the before photo above.

Aluminum Awning Company Considerations

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Tom Haggett

Review these considerations for choosing an aluminum awnings company in Central Florida.

Know whether your aluminum contractor is licensed and insured. At Haggetts Aluminum we are licensed and insured to work in the state of Florida on license #SCC131149800.

You need to know that all products your aluminum company are installing are Florida Building Code approved, and again at Haggetts Aluminum we do just that.

Make sure the contractor permits the job or project. Neglecting to do so can put you at risk for fines or could even be a red flag that the installation and/or products are not up to code.

When receiving an estimate you should be clear on how installation will be performed, both verbally and in the contract. Be wary of high pressure sales and huge discounts in price just to get your business.

Be careful of companies with very high prices justified by claims of superior products. Very few companies actually manufacture hurricane products, and most other companies purchase products from the same manufacturers.

We manufacture our aluminum awnings in our Cocoa Florida factory, so we cut out the middle man. Review some of these advantages to manufacturing what we install in a previous post, Aluminum Awning Manufacturer Advantages.

Keep posted on our blog and website for news, tips and advice concerning the sales, service, installation, manufacturer and repair of aluminum awnings, hurricane shutters, storage sheds, screen rooms and carports. Contact us today by phone or email for an estimate today!
