Residential
Retractable Awnings
At Leisure Time Canvas we use top quality fabrics and materials to suit the needs of the customer and retain the integrity of the products we manufacture. Our Products are manufactured and installed by our own trained professionals and are not outsourced. Our products and installations are warrantied. We have an extensive variety of materials to choose from with endless colors and patterns to meet your needs.
Many companies use what is referred to as a “chain stitch” when products are sewn. We only use what is referred to as a “lock stitch”. We prefer the lock stitch over a chain stitch because it is a much stronger and longer lasting stitch; as the chain stitch tends to easily unravel and does not last in these types of applications well. Leisure Time Canvas uses a high-quality industrial grade polyester blended thread available in many different colors. We also offer the option of using Tenara thread made by the Gore-Tex Company. Tenara thread will never mold, mildew or discolor from sun exposure and are warrantied separately by the manufacturer.

Food for thought: If a retractable awning was intended to be left out in the rain, why would anyone design a sensor that retracted it when it rains?

Fabric Window Awnings
Windows become hot spots during warm weather. Direct sunlight streams through windows and raises interior temperatures. Indirect sunlight reflected from the ground, sidewalks, and other structures intensifies the effect of direct sunlight. As light passes through your window the temperature of the glass rises and radiates additional heat into your home. Shading these windows with decorative fabric awnings is one of the most effective ways of reducing solar heat gain during the hot summer months.
Studies conducted by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning have found that awnings reduce heat gain by fifty-five to sixty-five percent on a southern exposure and by seventy-two to seventy-seven percent on a western exposure.
