What Should Be Included in a Quality Fabric Awning Guarantee?

Fabric awnings are a great way to keep heat out and reduce UV rays. They are excellent to use on windows, patios, cabanas, and canopies for your home or business. The functionality and elegance that fabric awnings add to a building is well worth the investment, but you still want to ensure you have a good warranty for your awning.

At Abbott Awnings, we provide a 10-year pro-rated warranty on all awning fabrics so you can have peace of mind. Here is an overview of what our comprehensive warranty covers:

Defects
All of our products are designed and manufactured at the highest level to avoid any defects and provide trouble-free performance. Therefore, we are happy to cover any defects during the warranty period. We also cover factory workmanship for two years.

Labor
Any labor and materials that are required to repair or replace your awning during the warranty period will be paid for.

Limitations
It is important to note what is not covered under your warranty.  Here is a summary:

• Damage caused by accidents both human (improper operation, negligence, etc.) and natural causes (earthquakes, floods, etc.).
• Damage resulting from repair from an unauthorized individual.
• Holes in awning fabric caused by mildew.
• Minor color changes from sun exposure.

• Deter Vandalism and Theft

Keep your home and your loved ones safe by installing retractable security shutters from Abbott Industries.

• Protect Your Windows

These shutters also keep your windows safe from potential accidents and will reduce the amount of outside noise that you hear inside your home.

• Safe in an Emergency
  Retractable security shutters are better than bars because security shutters let you get outside easily in case there is an emergency. You do not have to worry about prying open the shutters to escape. With easy-to-use controls and the ability to open them by hand, you can still get outside quickly if you need to.
