1. Custom Fabric Awnings That Reflect Your Company's Brand

Why choose a fabric awning for my restaurant patio?

Fabric awnings offer endless design flexibility with breathable coverage that complements your business's personality. From soft neutrals to bold patterns, they help create an inviting ambiance.

• Great for creating a warm, elegant atmosphere
• Printed logos or patterns to boost visibility
• Ideal for sidewalk cafes or window-side seating

Top Tier Awnings crafts custom fabric awnings using premium materials built to endure sun, wind, and seasons of celebration.

 2. Sleek Sunshades for Modern Patios for Your Business

What makes sunshades different from traditional awnings?

Sunshades are engineered to block UV rays while maintaining airflow and modern aesthetics. They're a great option for spaces looking for minimalist style with flexible coverage.

• Retractable and fixed models available
• Ideal for glass-front eateries and rooftops

Top Tier’s sunshades offer sleek performance and sharp design—perfect for patios that prioritize sophistication and comfort.

3. Durable Vinyl Awnings That Handle the Heat for Any Commercial Space

How do vinyl awnings hold up in high-traffic or weather-exposed areas? 

Vinyl awnings are incredibly durable and low-maintenance. Their water-resistant finish makes them a go-to for businesses that face intense summer heat and spontaneous rain.

• Easy to clean and maintain
• Wide variety of colors and finishes
• Great for bustling patios and large outdoor spaces

Top Tier Awnings builds vinyl awnings with both form and function in mind—style that lasts through every season.
