BENEFITS OF AWNINGS, SUN SHADES & CUSTOM CANVAS FROM WAAGMEESTER

LIGHT CONTROL

Sunlight is a beautiful thing and it’s something you want to enjoy in your space. The issue is excess sunlight can create problems of many sorts for both a home and a business. Depending on the positioning of your property, the sun’s rising or setting can make your home or business difficult to enjoy. During the day, excess sunlight can throw off temperatures and drive up utility costs. Waagmeester awnings and sun shades provide protection from the sun’s rays while allowing you to continue to enjoy the light.

In your home, reduction of light helps manage temperature and energy costs. It also protects your belongings, furniture and surfaces from fading due to excess sun. In your business, our awnings and sun shades will allow your space to be more enjoyable and useable for both your customers and staff. Retractable shade solutions can offer the perfect amount of sunlight throughout the day to anyone on your premises.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

We’ve all experienced how a big dose of sunlight can drive up the temperature in both indoor and outdoor areas. In homes, the addition of excess sunlight can cause temperatures to vary in extremes, especially once the sun goes down. Often this causes the living space to remain hot. Waagmeester awnings and sun shades allow you to lessen or even block out sunlight to maintain a temperature that best suits your needs.

INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Managing excess sunlight and maintaining a steady temperature can save you money. Your building’s energy efficiency and utility costs, like air conditioning, can be better controlled with the addition of sun shades, curtains, shade sails and awnings from Waagmeester Awnings & Sun Shades.

ENHANCED APPEARANCE

An exterior awning is a simple and effective way to enhance the look of your residential or commercial property. Waagmeester Awnings & Sun Shades can create anything from bold, bright, unmissable accessories or we can do color matching and sizing so subtle that our awnings and sun shades will be practically camouflaged on or within your space.

ADD VALUE TO YOUR PROPERTY

When it comes time to part with your home or business, our awnings and sun shades add value that your potential buyer can’t miss. Visiting a home or business with high quality, durable and attractive awnings and sun shades makes and impression. The style and functionality of Waagmeester products can be selling point that adds to the value of your property.

BE SEEN AND BE NOTICED

For any business, being seen, noticed and found is of crucial importance. Awnings and sun shades are an effective means of letting your existing customers and your future customers locate you. Your branding, logo and name can all be displayed both on internal and external shades and awnings. And consider this, more and more online services are utilizing photos to correspond with review and map websites and apps for tablets and smartphones. When a customer is using the web or an app making plans on where to spend their money, make sure that they can see your business with your name displayed clearly. With a branded awning from Waagmeester, you’ve made it that much easier to get them in the door. Your name and logo displayed prominently can potentially attract customers passing by on foot, bike or vehicle. You may only have a few seconds to get their attention and interest; our awnings and sun shades can help do just that.

Being seen and being noticed isn’t just a benefit for business owners. Your home can make bold and dramatic statement, showing all those around what you’re passionate about. Your family legacy at a beloved university, your die-hard love of your favorite sports team or demonstrating your patriotism… all of these and more can be added to our awnings and sun shades for your home.

FEATURES OF AWNINGS, SUN SHADES & CUSTOM CANVAS FROM WAAGMEESTER

Our quality constructed awnings, sun shades and screens have a host of features that make them the best in industry. We highly recommend you give us a call at 503-288-8391. Click here to email us or fill out our contact form to learn more. Here are just a few of the features that make our products so special.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION

So much of what we do is made by hand right here in Oregon by masters of their crafts. As a third generation, family run business, quality construction has always been and will always be an indispensable feature of the products we design and create. Waagmeester quality is clear to see and our products are built to last.

DURABLE MATERIALS

In conjunction with our superior quality construction, we use only state-of-art materials for our products. This includes fabrics, frames, hardware, motors and anything that goes into a Waagmeester product. Many of the products we create are made with materials that are resistant to mold, mildew, water and sunlight. Many of our products are even fire resistant.

EASY TO OPERATE

Waagmeester offers both automated and manually operated awnings and sun shades. Back when Bud Waagmeester founded our company, awnings and shades were often rolled and tied. Today we use lateral arms for manually operated retractable awnings. We also offer fully automated awnings for effortless deployment and retraction. The same applies to our sun shade and screen products. Automation can make the operation a breeze. Our manual shades raise and lower smoothly and easily.

HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE

Customization goes way beyond color and pattern. We can offer you a multitude of options including fabrics and colors, along with patterns that can be simple as stripes or elaborate as whatever you can dream up. Trims, accents, hardware, framing and more are all up to you, and we’ll guide you through every step of the process so that, together, we can create the perfect awning or shade for your home or business.

VISUALIZE THE POSSIBILITIES

Once you’re ready to see what we can do for you, the Waagmeester Awnings & Sun Shades team can create customized computer generated 3D visualization renderings. You’ll be able to do more than imagine what your home or business will look like with new awnings and sun shades.

ABOUT WAAGMEESTER AWNINGS & SUN SHADES

Over 70 years ago, Bud Waagmeester founded his canvas awning and sail shop on Alberta St. in Portland, Oregon with one thing in mind – quality products matched with customer service that exceeds expectations. Bud learned his craft in the US Navy, but his work ethic and drive were part of him long before. While in the Navy Bud made covers for lifeboats, winches and turrets. His quality and skills were noticed and eventually Bud was hand making sails for Admirals’ pleasure boats. Having worked since age 13 it was no surprise that after his naval service, Bud used his skills and determination to open his own business. In addition to making practical and functional residential canvas products, Bud’s naval background naturally led him to creating canvas products and sails for fishermen and maritime companies along with being a specialist for professional and amateur sailing enthusiasts across the country.

Waagmeester Awnings & Sun Shades has been a family venture since its founding. Bud’s sons Steve and Dale would soon join him in the business. A third generation would step up to the plate when Bud’s grandson Erik began learning the family craft. Innovation, creativity and, of course, the highest possible quality have been staples of the Waagmeester team for over seven decades.

Waagmeester Awnings has since relocated to a new, larger facility in Wilsonville, OR allowing them even more room to create and innovate. Visit the new facility, talk to the design specialist, see the Waagmeester process in action and you’ll understand why service, quality and value aren’t just words to the Waagmeester team… they’re the founding principles of a family business that looks forward to many more decades of designing and creating products that exceed industry standards and service that makes each and every customer feel like a friend and member of the Waagmeester family.
