Pre-Installation Guide
- What is polycarbonate awning?
- A polycarbonate awning is a stationary awning product with brackets that is permanently attached to your home, business or other structure. It provides protection from rain, snow, and hail. These products can also provide protection from the sun and UV rays.
Typically, a polycarbonate awning is smaller in projected size and may be available in a variety of widths and, depending on the style, can be connected to allow for customers to customize width coverage, if needed.
Follow Up Questions
1. What is polycarbonate? Answer: Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates when used in engineering materials are proven to be stronger and more break resistant than most other plastics. Polycarbonates can range in thickness, density (hollow or solid), clarity and textures depending on the individual manufacturing process.
2. What makes polycarbonate better than glass? Polycarbonate is lighter in weight. Solid sheets are virtually unbreakable and have more flexibility and strength than glass. - What differentiates Advanings polycarbonate awnings from its competitors?
- Advanings polycarbonate awning series collections; PN, PA, & PS feature a 1/8″ solid sheet of virgin material polycarbonate. This polycarbonate sheet when combined with the quality components included makes for a superior product that outperforms and outlasts similar competitors on the market today.
•Polycarbonate Strength: When compared to others polycarbonate awnings, one major difference is the polycarbonate strength and quality. As most competitors offer low-cost hollow polycarbonate typically made of lesser-grade materials containing impurities that are weak to impact stresses and heavy loads. Advaning’s solid sheets are virtually unbreakable and have been tested to withstand from 200 lbs. up to 550 lbs. (depending on size and series).
•Polycarbonate Structure: Hollow sheets are prone to dust, moisture, and mold collection within the cavities. Due to the structural design of the cavities, they are difficult to clean and will need special equipment or replacement when dirty. Advaning polycarbonate sheets are solid and require minimal maintenance.
•Polycarbonate Seams: To save money on shipping, competitors offer connectable polycarbonate sheets that require a plastic connection piece that connects two or more smaller sheets. On top of being unsightly, this plastic connection piece is typically made of cheap non-uv-rated plastic which tends to break or crack easily when exposed to the elements.
•Brackets; Competitors often come with plastic brackets that like the connection pieces are typically never UV-rated and will not last long when exposed to the sun’s rays. Advaning offers 3 styles of brackets that are made of materials proven to last in the elements; PA series includes die-cut solid aluminum brackets powder coated and finished in metallic silver. PN series includes an injection mold nylon with fiberglass bracket in either Black or White. PS series includes die-cut solid steel brackets powder coated in a charcoal gray color. The unique design of the PN an PS series allows users to connect multiple units side by side to achieve custom widths.
•Assembly Components: Most competitors offer lower-grade rubber seals and installation hardware. Advaning offers EPDM-rated rubber seals, top quality aluminum front / rear bar caps, UV-rated plastic components and SS304-rated installation hardware
•Warranty and Service: Most competitors do not offer a warranty beyond the return or grace 30-day period. Advaning is proud to include a 1-year warranty along with lifetime customer support from our Orange County California-based service center. - Where can I purchase Advaning products?

VERY POOR DIMENSIONAL INFORMATION – Very poor dimensional information. Dimension of 5.5″ height is not defined or shown. It is most likely the hight of the mounting bracket. I need to know if my door will hit the awning when fully open. what is needed is the dimension from the top of the bracket to the projected bottom of the awning 59″ away from the mounting surface. It has to be more than 5.5″ but is it?

TOP NOTCH FOR SURE – I ordered this just in time, as my back porch door has had nothing protecting it from the rain and we have been hit hard this rainy season! I called in advance to ask about shipping as I needed it ASAP (my custom door was already showing signs of the weather.) before committing I contacted Advaning to ask about shipping and was really impressed with the customer service. They answered my shipping question (and accurately too as shipping was quick!) and they also assured me that this would work for the space I needed it for. I looked at the other styles available, but went with the metal option as it felt a little more modern, perfect for my house! The design and quality of the materials are really exceptional, when they said “clear” in the description they meant it as you can see right through it as though looking through glass. The installers made it look simple to install and even commented that it was one of the nicest door awnings they had seen. I just wish I had more doors to buy awnings for, maybe my windows need them too? 🙂
I’ve attached a few photos of the unboxing.
