A window awning is a small fabric or polycarbonate cover fixed above a single window to shade the glass and keep rain off the sill. It also adds colour to the front of the building. It is also known as a window canopy, window shade awning, window hood or decorative window awning. It is used on houses, builder floors, apartment flats, shop windows, clinics and offices across Delhi NCR.
ShadeCo India Private Limited is a window awning manufacturer and supplier in Delhi NCR. We design, fabricate, supply and install sloped window awnings with valances, drop-arm window awnings, polycarbonate window awnings, awnings over window grills and AC units, and matching awnings for a row of windows. Fabric is acrylic, polyester or PVC-coated polyester, and rigid covers are made in clear or tinted polycarbonate.
Planning starts at the window itself. We measure the opening and the grill around it, and check whether an AC outdoor unit or pipe sits nearby. Then we choose a style and colour that suits the house front and the curtains inside.

Why Choose a Window Awning
A window awning stops strong sun from hitting the glass directly, so the room behind it stays cooler and curtains fade less. In Delhi NCR summers, west-facing bedrooms and living rooms heat up quickly. A small awning over each window makes a clear difference.
Window awnings also change how a house looks from the street. Striped or coloured fabric with a valance gives older buildings a fresh, homely face. In the monsoon, the awning keeps rain off the sill so windows can stay open a little.
Types of Window Awnings
The right window awning depends on the window size, the grill, the floor level and the look you want.
Sloped Window Awning with Valance
A classic sloped fabric awning with a front flap, often in stripes. It suits bedrooms, living rooms and shop windows.
Drop-Arm Window Awning
The fabric hangs on arms that hinge down in front of the window and fold up when not needed. It gives shade from low sun without blocking the view all day.
Polycarbonate Window Awning
A clear or tinted sheet keeps rain off while letting daylight in. It suits kitchens, bathrooms and stair windows.
Awning over Grill and AC Unit
A deeper awning covers the window grill and the AC outdoor unit below it, with space left for air to move around the unit.
Matching Row of Window Awnings
Several identical awnings run across a building front. For a technical sun shade chosen by window direction, see our window sun shades.
Custom Window Awning Design: Grill Clearance, Fixing and Look
Most Delhi NCR windows have a grill, so the awning must clear it. We set the frame so the grill and window can still be opened and cleaned. Brackets go into the lintel or a solid part of the wall, never into loose plaster.
If an AC outdoor unit sits below the window, the awning can cover it from rain and sun. We leave space above the unit so hot air can escape freely. Pipes and drains stay clear of the frame.
The look matters as much as the shade. We help you pick fabric colours that match the building and curtains, and a valance style that suits the house. Each awning is sloped so rain runs off the front edge.

Benefits of Window Awnings
A window awning makes rooms cooler and the house front more attractive.
- Less Heat Indoors: Direct sun is kept off the glass.
- Curtains Last Longer: Less fading from strong sunlight.
- Windows Open in Rain: The sill stays dry in light showers.
- Fresh House Front: Colourful awnings brighten the building.
- Protects AC Units: Outdoor units get shade and rain cover.
- Low Cost: A small cover with a big effect.
Applications of Window Awnings
Homeowners and builder-floor owners in Delhi NCR fit window awnings on west and south-facing rooms. Flats use matching awnings to keep the building front uniform. For a cover over a whole doorway, see our door awnings.
Shops and showrooms use window awnings over display windows to protect goods from sun. Clinics and offices shade consulting rooms and counters. Older buildings use them to refresh their look without major work.
Window Awning Price in Delhi NCR: What Affects the Cost
The cost of a window awning depends mainly on the window size and the number of windows. Several identical awnings usually cost less per window than one-off designs.
Covering choice, frame material, valance style, drop-arm operation, AC unit cover and access to upper floors change the figure. Polycarbonate and PVC-coated covers cost more than plain polyester.

How We Design and Install a Window Awning
Window awnings are small, but each one is measured and fitted around its own grill and wall.
- Step 1 – Site visit: We measure each window and grill, note AC units and pipes, and check floor levels for access.
- Step 2 – Style and colour: We help you choose the awning type, fabric, colour and valance to suit the building.
- Step 3 – Fixing check: We confirm a solid lintel or wall for the brackets on every window.
- Step 4 – Fabrication: Frames are made to each window, and fabric is stitched or polycarbonate cut to size.
- Step 5 – Installation: Awnings are fixed and sloped, with grills and AC units left clear.
- Step 6 – Handover: We check each awning and, for drop-arm models, show how to raise and lower it.
