About this project
At nine metres wide, this Castleknock awning makes a substantial feature along the building. Printed text on the front adds a detail that remains easy to notice beneath the canopy.
The awning projects 3.5m and uses an anthracite frame. Its large span is the defining part of the installation, while the lettering gives the front edge a purpose beyond finishing the fabric.
Making lettering part of the design
Text on an awning needs to work at the distance from which it will normally be read. Letter size, spacing and contrast all matter, especially when the front stretches across a long frontage.
For a printed installation, it is helpful to review the proposed wording in context before production. This Castleknock project shows the front used as a visible design element; a new project can use its own wording and layout rather than copying the text in the photographs.
Solution and installation
Motorised operation and a wind sensor are included. For a project with lettering, the wording and its position deserve consideration alongside the canopy colour and dimensions. The photographs show the finished printed front on this installation.
