Custom Commercial Awnings That Work as Hard as Your Business
A good awning is shade, shelter and signage in one. It tells people where your door is, keeps your windows from baking in the afternoon sun and gives customers a dry place to stand. Hot Springs Awning has been building commercial awnings since 1906, including storefronts in downtown Hot Springs.
Every awning we make is custom. Our seamstresses sew the fabric, our welders build the frame and our crew installs it, so the whole job stays under one roof.
Branding That Lasts
Your awning is one of the largest signs on your building. We can add your logo, business name, phone number or address to the valance or the face of the awning. Bold color and clear lettering help drivers spot you from the street and help foot traffic find your entrance.
Commercial Awning Styles
Traditional shed awnings
Dome and quarter-round awnings
Waterfall and box awnings
Long continuous awnings

Fabrics Built for Arkansas Sun
We work with Sunbrella and Tempotest, two of the most trusted awning fabric brands. They are water repellent and fade resistant, and our fabrics are backed by a 5-year warranty. You can choose from hundreds of solid colors and stripes.
Benefits for Your Business
Fixed or Retractable?
Most storefront awnings are fixed, meaning the frame stays in place year-round. Fixed awnings are sturdy, cost less per foot and work as permanent signage. Retractable awnings roll back against the building when you do not need them, which is useful for patios and sidewalk seating where you want sun some days and shade on others. Many businesses use fixed awnings over windows and doors and a retractable over outdoor seating.
Designing an Awning That Fits Your Building
A good commercial awning looks like it belongs on the building. During your estimate, we look at:
Architecture
Sign rules
Sight lines
Clearance
Color
The Frame Matters as Much as the Fabric
Our welders build awning frames from steel or aluminum, sized for the span and the exposure of your building. A well-built frame keeps fabric tight so it sheds water and does not flap in the wind. When your fabric eventually needs replacing, a good frame can be recovered again and again, which lowers the long-term cost of ownership.
What Affects the Cost
01.
Size
Price follows the square footage of fabric and the length of frame.
02.
Style
Domes, quarter-rounds and box awnings take more fabrication than simple shed awnings.
03.
Graphics
Lettering and logos add to the cost, and more colors add more.
04.
Frame Material
Steel and aluminum have different costs and best uses.
05.
Installation
Second-story work, tight access and unusual wall surfaces add labor.
Caring for a Commercial Awning
Awnings live outside, so a little care goes a long way. Brush off loose dirt and leaves regularly, and rinse the fabric with clean water every few months. For deeper cleaning, follow the steps on our Cleaning Care page. Avoid pressure washers, which can damage fabric coatings and stitching. Keeping your awning clean helps the fabric last and keeps your storefront looking sharp.

We build awnings for retailers, restaurants, offices, medical practices, churches and multi-tenant properties throughout Hot Springs and Central Arkansas. With locations in Hot Springs and Cabot, we can measure, build and install without the delays that come from ordering through an out-of-state supplier.
