Awning NZ Suppliers

Awning for NZ Hotel
Hotel Awning
Awnings can feature prominently in both domestic and commercial venues and large outdoor events, including for Hotels, Motels, Cafe's, Restaurants, Bars, Concerts, and Sporting Events. Their main purpose, similar to an umbrella, is to protect from diverse or near extreme weather conditions. But can also serve as a signage advertising medium, and as an attractive enhancement to a Hotel or Business building. Thus an awning creates a shade, similar to blinds, for cooling against heat on hot summer days, and as a barrier or shelter against rain and wind during diverse weather. Such canopy and covers also protect against dirt, dust, fumes, excess moisture, mildew, and importantly, for reduction of sun burns and it's side effects, against harmful UV radiation from the Sun.

Awnings come in various shapes, colours, styles, types, and cover materials, e.g. laminated fabrics, polycarbonate, polyester, woven acrylics, with plastic, metal or aluminum structures for support. This can include for hotel door entrances, small windows, large sliding doors, walkways, verandas, open courtyards, and umbrella style covers. Styles include fixed, portable retracting units, and open pole placement, often around motel swimming pools, and as upright covers for outdoor table and chair furniture settings.

Large outdoor events such as weddings, birthday parties, sometimes held at accommodation premises, might display large awnings or cover shades. Often a combination of various suppliers and their products and services, such as event management, catering companies, wedding planners, promotional products, party and gourmet gift items, entertainment apparatus, outside furniture, and outdoor lighting, all revolve around and within awnings, or the old terminology "tarp" covers, almost as a central network. In this respect an awning, and related cover shades, can function as a important and prominent feature for a social gathering.
