COMMERCIAL AWNINGS
A commercial awning does more than provide shade — it's often the first thing a customer notices about your business. Whether you're a restaurant looking to extend your outdoor seating season, a retail storefront wanting to stand out on a busy street, or a hotel or office building looking to add covered outdoor space, Ocean Tailors designs, fabricates, and installs custom commercial awnings for businesses across Cape Cod, the South Coast, and the South Shore.
From branded graphics and lettering that put your logo in front of every passerby, to fully enclosed patio awnings that turn unusable outdoor space into year-round revenue, we'll help you find the right solution for your business.
GRAPHICS / LETTERING
Increase visibility and reinforce your brand with custom colors, logos, and lettering directly on your awning fabric. For businesses with multiple locations, a consistent branded awning design creates recognizable uniformity across every storefront.
FIXED PATIO AWNINGS
Welded-frame patio awnings, with or without roll-down sides, extend your outdoor seating season well beyond the peak summer months, keeping tables usable on cooler evenings, breezy days, and light rain.
RETRACTABLE COMMERCIAL AWNINGS
Commercial retractable awnings, engineered with a durable arm system and stainless and forged components for maximum strength, give you full control over sun and shade at the push of a button, without permanently blocking your storefront's visibility or view.
BENEFITS OF COMMERCIAL AWNINGS FOR RESTAURANTS
Increased Usable, Revenue-Producing Space: Businesses like cafes and restaurants get outsized value from outdoor space. A commercial awning makes that space comfortable for customers and staff by blocking sun and rain, turning previously unusable square footage into seating you can book night after night.
Shade for Outdoor Dining: Sidewalk cafés have been popular for centuries, and that popularity keeps growing. An awning creates the shaded, comfortable environment that makes al fresco dining enjoyable rather than something customers avoid on a hot day.
Improved Visibility: A well-designed awning makes your storefront more eye-catching and easier to spot among neighboring businesses — especially valuable on a busy street or in a shopping plaza.
Promotion: Your awning is a 24/7 advertisement for your brand, colors, and logo, working for you even when you're closed.
Protection: Beyond shading outdoor seating, an awning protects merchandise, flooring, and furniture inside your storefront from UV-related fading and sun damage.
Money Savings: By blocking direct sun, an awning reduces heat gain inside your building — which can lower your air conditioning costs during peak summer months.
Commercial Awnings FAQs
How much does a commercial awning cost?
Pricing depends on size, style (retractable, fixed, or enclosed patio), branding/graphics, and fabric selection. We offer a consultation to provide an accurate quote for your specific business and space.
Can you add my logo or branding to the awning?
Yes, custom graphics and lettering are one of the most common commercial awning requests we handle, letting you reinforce your brand colors and logo on the storefront itself.
Do commercial awnings help with energy costs?
Yes. By blocking direct sunlight from windows and storefronts, awnings reduce heat gain inside the building, which can lower air conditioning costs during the summer.
Can you enclose an existing outdoor seating area?
Yes, we design patio awnings with roll-down sides that can enclose an existing outdoor seating area, extending your usable season into cooler months.
Do you offer retractable commercial awnings?
Yes, we install Sunair® retractable commercial awnings, which let you control sun and shade on demand without permanently obstructing your storefront's visibility.
