This patio needs something, but what?

There are more choices for turning an outdoor space into an attractive, comfortable place to spend time than most people think. Patios come in all shapes and sizes. They can be open spaces between the house and garage, an unused space in the alley behind a business, or a courtyard between a popular bistro and a downtown boutique. One thing that patios have in common is the potential to transform a bare outdoor space into an appealing comfort zone that combines the best of outdoor and indoor experiences. The Shoreline Awning & Patio team, supplier of custom-made patio covers for Atascadero and communities from Monterey to Ventura, has the answer for “that something” to transform any patio.

When transforming a patio, or any open space, sometimes starting at the top opens that inner creative eye and helps everything else fall into place. The best place to start is to become familiar with the many choices in the types and styles of patio covers. These include:

Solid covers, including options for insulation and electrical wiring for lighting or fans while providing 100% coverage from harmful UV rays, and inclement weather.
Adjustable coverage, providing flexible protection from the sun and weather when it’s needed. Adjustable coverage includes an automated louvered roof system that operates at the touch of a button, retractable awnings, tensions systems with optional remote-control features, slide-on-wire fabric panels that can be easily adjusted from full shade to full sun, or anywhere in between.
Unique, creative shade solutions, such as lattice covers, shade sails, or pergolas are ideal for spaces that are not fully exposed to the sun, or adding unique shading effects.
Privacy and enhanced weather protection make any patio a sanctuary. Enclosures that optionally blend with an existing roof line, turn a patio into a sunroom or a screen room, or adding drop shades that can be raised or lowered at will are all attractive and versatile upgrades for any patio.

It’s good news to know there are so many options, and even better news to learn you can mix and match most of these choices to give your new patio a personal creative stamp.

The Shoreline team specializes in custom-solutions for patio covers for Atascadero and the Central Coast from Monterey to Ventura.

Navigating the options: A guide to commercial awnings

-Commercial awnings are versatile additions that can greatly improve the appearance and functionality of business properties. Shoreline Awnings & Patio, serving Santa Maria, and the entire area between Monterey and Ventura, recently released a guide to awnings, storefronts, and shade structures for every aspect of commercial buildings.

Awnings are widely used to boost brand recognition and storefront appeal. Businesses such as retail, restaurants, lodging, wineries, industrial facilities, and event venues all benefit from the advantages of awnings:

Enhancing visibility by displaying the company name and logo.
Creating a welcoming, protective entrance for customers.
Elevating customer experiences.
Improving the building’s aesthetic appeal with designs to match the building’s architectural style.
Adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to the property

Awnings, storefront covers, and shade structures offers cost-effective, versatile, durable, and low-maintenance solutions including:

Creating usable outdoor space for pleasant and comfortable customer experiences.
Temperature control, blocking sun and heat.
Adapting to changing weather conditions.
Lowering interior summer temperatures next to windows and doors.
Protecting outdoor furniture from sun and weather damage.

The combination of visual appeal and quality customer experiences is an important factor in encouraging customer loyalty.

What are the options for commercial awnings?

Often seen on building fronts, awnings offer much more. Shoreline’s experience in designing and installing awnings for Santa Maria and other California regions provides unique insights to help clients choose the best awnings and shade coverings. Options include:

Entrance awnings extend usable space, offering shade and protection, ideal for high-traffic businesses.
Window awnings, though smaller, enhance visual appeal and offer practical benefits such as interior shade and temperature control.
Fixed awnings, permanently attached, provide consistent shade and come in various shapes like domes and quarter barrels.
Retractable awnings can extend or retract as needed, with options like wind sensors and timers for automatic control.
Metal awnings, usually aluminum or steel, are durable and weather-resistant.
Fabric awnings offer a customizable, softer look with various colors, patterns, and materials, ideal for branding.
Canopies are large coverings supported by columns, providing extensive coverage for entrances and walkways.
Outdoor seating awnings create comfortable areas for dining, commonly used by restaurants and cafes.
Walkway awnings protect pedestrians between buildings, vehicles, or outdoor corridors, perfect for alleys and courtyards.
