Editor's note: This post was originally published on March 16, 2016 and has been updated for accuracy and relevance.

The weather in south Louisiana can be intense and can vary wildly in only a matter of hours. From violent storms to abundant sunshine and from humid, sweltering heat to frigid and windy, if you don’t like the weather, just wait about five minutes. With our climate being what it is, it can mean some additional challenges for protecting our homes and keeping them energy efficient. However, there is an addition you can make to your home that can do both, window awnings .

Window awnings can offer a great value for your home. Not only do they offer additional comfort while you are outside. They also provide protection from the sun and the rain. One key advantage that window awnings deliver is that they can keep your home cooler in the summer. By increasing the shade and restricting sun light from impacting windows and doors, your home can be more energy efficient .

If you are considering awnings for your home, it is very important, as with everything with your home to entrust a local sheet metal professional. For over 50 years the experts at Cribbs Incorporated have been helping Baton Rouge area home and business owners.
