The material of the awning has a significant impact on the durability of the awning. Here are some common awning materials and their impact on durability:
1. Aluminum alloy material:
- Advantages: light weight, corrosion resistance, and stable structure.
- Application: Commonly used for the support structure of the awning.
- Durability: Due to its corrosion resistance and strength, the awning support structure of aluminum alloy is usually very durable.
2. Steel:
- Advantages: Strong and durable, suitable for occasions requiring strong support.
- Application: Used for the support structure of the awning.
- Durability: The strength of steel makes it perform well in durability, but it needs to be treated with rust prevention.
3. Fiber composite material:
- Advantages: High strength and stiffness, suitable for lightweight design.
- Application: Used for the support structure of the awning.
- Durability: The high strength and stiffness of fiber composite materials make it excellent in durability.
4. PVC polyester material:
- Advantages: Waterproof, wear-resistant, and weather-resistant.
- Application: Commonly used for the top cover of the canopy.
- Durability: The waterproof and wear-resistant properties of PVC polyester material make it perform well in durability.
5. Polycarbonate sheet:
- Advantages: Good light transmittance, strong impact resistance and weather resistance.
- Application: Suitable for the side windshield of the canopy.
- Durability: The impact resistance and weather resistance of polycarbonate sheet make it excellent in durability.
6. Plastic film:
- Advantages: Lightweight and soft, suitable for temporary use.
- Application: Covering material for canopy.
- Durability: Plastic film is relatively less durable due to its lightness and is more suitable for temporary use.
7. Stainless steel connectors:
- Advantages: Corrosion resistance and high strength, firm and reliable connection.
- Application: Connectors for canopies.
- Durability: The corrosion resistance and high strength of stainless steel connectors make it perform well in durability.
8. Aluminum alloy connectors:
- Advantages: light weight and corrosion resistance.
- Application: connectors for car awnings.
- Durability: The light weight and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy connectors make them perform well in durability.
9. Tarpaulin material for membrane structure carports:
- Advantages: high strength, good durability, fire resistance, good self-cleaning, not affected by ultraviolet rays, and a service life of up to 15-30 years.
- Application: Tarpaulin for membrane structure carports.
- Durability: Tarpaulin material for membrane structure carports performs very well in durability and has a long service life.
In summary, different car awning materials have their own advantages in durability. Choosing the right material can be determined according to specific needs and usage environment. For example, if a high-strength and weather-resistant car awning is required, polycarbonate panels or tarpaulin materials for membrane structure carports can be selected; if a lightweight car awning is required, aluminum alloy materials or PVC polyester materials can be selected.
