Awning Details
Slope Style
Choose between the classic convex shape with a gently rounded nose at the front, or the straight style with a clean linear slope for a more modern look.
Valance Options
Add a single or double valance at the bottom edge for added character, or keep it clean with the no-valance option for a streamlined finish.
Drip Edge Gutter
Channels water away from your doorway or window so you stay dry walking in and out. Especially appreciated during Michigan rain and snow seasons.
Interlocking Seams
Roll-formed step-down panels with concealed screws effectively divert water away from your home's exterior and the space directly below the awning.

Residential Uses &
Benefits
Whether you're shading a bedroom window, protecting a side entrance, or adding a welcoming canopy above your front door, Wayne Craft window and door awnings are a smart, lasting upgrade for any Michigan home.
Residential Window Awnings
Window awnings allow you to keep windows open for natural ventilation without sacrificing comfort or causing premature fading of your furnishings and décor. By filtering intense sunlight, they help maintain a cooler, more comfortable interior while reducing your dependence on air conditioning during Michigan summers.
Works on any residential window, including:
- Kitchen windows
- Bedroom windows
- Bathroom windows
- Bay windows
Residential Door Awnings & Canopies
No more fumbling with keys in the rain or standing in the summer heat waiting for someone to answer the door. A residential door awning provides practical protection right at your entryway. Beyond function, a door canopy adds architectural character and a welcoming feel that enhances your home's curb appeal from the street.
Common door awning locations:
- Front door
- Side door
- Patio door
- Service door
- Garage door

Answers to Homeowner’s Questions
What is the difference between a window awning and a door awning?
Window awnings are designed to shade and protect individual windows, reducing heat gain and UV exposure inside your home. Door awnings, sometimes called door canopies, are installed above entryways to protect you from rain, sun, and snow as you enter and exit your home. Both are built from the same durable aluminum and available in the same 21 colors.
Can a door awning be installed over any door?
In most cases, yes. Our door awnings can be installed over front doors, side doors, patio doors, service doors, and garage doors. Our team will assess your specific entryway during the free estimate visit to confirm compatibility.
Are these awnings custom-made or standard sizes?
All Wayne Craft window and door awnings are custom-made to your specific measurements at our Livonia, Michigan factory. Nothing is a pre-fab kit. Every awning is built to fit your home exactly.
Will a window awning block my view?
Window awnings are designed to provide shade without significantly obstructing your view. The projection and slope can be adjusted to provide the right balance of shade and visibility for your specific window. ⚠ INFORMATION NEEDED: Please confirm if specific projection limits apply.
Do window and door awnings come in the same colors as your other awnings?
Yes. All Wayne Craft awnings, traditional, window, and door, are available in the same 21 standard Valspar colors in powder coat finish so you can coordinate across your entire home exterior.
How long does installation take?
All installations are completed in no more than 2 days. Our team will provide an accurate timeline during your estimate.
