PAMA recognizes these sponsoring retail professionals for their financial support of our initiative to bring awareness of the benefits of awnings to consumers.
Did You Know? The strongest rays of the day occur between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Most sun damage occurs as a result of incidental exposure during day-to-day activities, not at the beach. One of the best ways to protect your family from the sun is to cover up and shield skin from UV rays.
Guard your family and enjoy your backyard
with a fabric awning
Your family's health is important. Protect them while they enjoy the outdoors with a beautiful, easy, home enhancement - an awning for your deck or patio!
Shade prevents overheating, increases comfort Fabric awnings and canopies will shade your deck from the sun, and provide outdoor protection on rainy days. Shading your windows, decks and patios will create an environment that allows you to enjoy outdoor activities while avoiding excessive heat, sun and UV exposure.
Protect your family and your furnishings from the sun's damaging rays Some awning fabrics have been endorsed by The Skin Cancer Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the prevention of skin cancer, for their ability to block harmful UV rays. In addition, canopies and awnings protect inside furnishings such as furniture, drapes and carpet from fading due to UV rays.
> Protect Your Pets from Hot Weather: Pets instinctively gravitate toward shade to stay cool - where trees & shrubs aren't available, awnings provide instant relief.
A PAMA awning professional will be able to provide you with information about awnings and canopies that fit your lifestyle, home and budget.
