Window awnings are small fixed awnings installed over individual windows — typically upper-floor bedrooms or street-facing windows. They serve two functions: reducing solar heat gain into the room behind them and adding architectural visual interest to the exterior of the house. Penn Shades installs window awnings for Pittsburgh-area homes.
Signs You Need Window Awnings
Your second-floor bedrooms overheat in summer because the upper-window awning that came with the house is missing or damaged. Your home has a flat front exterior that would benefit from added architectural detail. You're restoring a historic Pittsburgh home where window awnings would be period-appropriate. You want extra shade on individual windows that don't justify a full retractable awning.
Window awnings are a specific architectural choice — they work beautifully on certain styles of homes (Victorian, Craftsman, traditional brick) and look out of place on others (modern, minimalist, contemporary).
Our Window Awnings Options
Within window awnings we offer fabric and metal constructions, in shapes including dome, traditional slope, and gable. Sizes typically range from 24 inches wide to 60+ inches, sized to the window below. Fabric color and stripe options match the broader awning lineup. Metal options include painted aluminum and steel.
Mounting is typically lag-bolted directly into the wall structure above the window, with weatherproofing sealant. We coordinate awning color and style across multiple windows for consistency.
Window Awnings for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Window awnings fit Pittsburgh's Victorian and Craftsman housing stock especially well — restored homes in Friendship, Highland Park, Lawrenceville, and parts of the East End. They also work on traditional brick row houses in Squirrel Hill and Shadyside where original window awnings have been lost over the decades.
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.
