Looking to add elegance and enhance the functionality of your front door? Want coverage from the sun on hot summer days to relax in the shade on your patio? Door awnings are the ideal solution for these applications and more. At Fiber-Lite Custom Awnings, we design and fabricate custom awnings to meet the unique needs of residential and commercial customers throughout Northern New Jersey. You can choose from a range of quality materials, styles, finishes, and add-ons to make your door awnings one-of-a-kind and ensure they last many years.

Customized Awnings for Doors


With the options at Fiber-Lite Custom Awnings, creating a truly unique awning is possible. Customers may choose from three main types of awnings:


Metal Door Awnings


Constructed of aluminum or steel, custom metal awnings are long-lasting and provide superior protection from the elements. Fiber-Lite Custom Awnings uses step aluminum, standing seam aluminum, and standing seam steel for metal awnings.


Canvas Door Awnings


Our custom canvas awnings are made from various types of waterproof or water-resistant fabrics from top brands like Sunbrella, and Tempotest. Canvas awnings are available in stationary and retractable models, and each features a durable metal frame.


Retractable Door Awnings


Retractable awnings are a convenient alternative to the stationary awnings. When you need shade or want to protect your sliding glass door from the sun’s rays, pull the awning out. When you want to bring more sunlight in, simply retract the awning.


Fiber-Lite Custom Awnings offers motorized and gear-operated awnings. All motorized models have a manual override function, which allows for manual use if the motor breaks down or the power is unavailable.


In addition to the different types of awnings, we offer countless options for customization. Choose between steel, aluminum, and brass tubing with powder-coat finishes. Consider custom metalwork to elevate your awning. Awning fabrics are available in numerous colors and patterns to suit the exterior design of any home or building and the aesthetic tastes of any homeowner or business owner.


If you plan to use your awning at night or want to create a specific ambiance, you may also add lighting. For commercial clients, Fiber-Lite Custom Awnings has capabilities in silk screening, appliqué, digital printing, and hand painting to add logos and designs.


Advantages of Door Awnings


While placing awnings over doors will provide flair and style, customers should also consider them for their functional benefits. Learn what door awnings can offer:


Protects the Property from Inclement Weather


NJ is no stranger to intense weather conditions. The state has experienced winters with heavy snowfalls, as well as bouts of heavy rain, hail, and sleet. When it’s time to shovel, it’s helpful if the front door isn’t covered in snow. Or, when a summer rain begins, everyone can huddle under an awning over a patio door until it passes. What’s more, since door awnings from Fiber-Lite Custom Awnings are designed to last, they can withstand the weight of snow and downpours.


Keeps the Indoor Temperature Cool During the Summer


Conversely, when the warmer weather hits, a door awning can prevent additional heat from UV rays from filtering into the space. This is especially true with glass patio doors, which essentially function like windows. However, many homeowners and small businesses have front doors with windows, as well. Using a front door awning to block out the sun can result in a more comfortable, consistent temperature during the summer.


Facilitates Water Runoff


When moisture from rain and snow seeps inside buildings, it can cause mold, mildew, and warping, which often leads to damage. When rainwater hits a slanted awning, it runs off and away from the exterior, keeping the building dry and reducing the likelihood of structural issues.
