Stop the heat before it hits the glass.

A window awning shades the sun outside the window — where it actually does the most good. Cooler rooms, lower energy bills, less glare, and floors that don't fade. Custom-built and installed by Griffith since 1933.

Why a window awning

Small awning, big difference

Less heat in means your air conditioner works less

The simple science

It works with the sun, not against it

The summer sun rides high in the sky. A window awning catches those steep rays before they ever reach the glass — so the heat never gets inside in the first place. Blinds and curtains only stop the light after it's already through the window and heating the room.

●

Summer: high sun is blocked — rooms stay cooler and the A/C runs less.

●

Winter: the low sun slips right under the awning and warms the room for free.

Awnings are sized to your window's direction and overhang so you get the shade when you want it and the light when you need it.

By the numbers

How much heat an awning blocks
