Residential Roll Front Fabric Awnings
Give your home a distinctive vintage-inspired look with durable weather protection. The roll front awning offers a distinct curved silhouette that stands out while providing excellent shade for your exterior spaces. Anderson Awning designs and installs premium canvas awnings in Anderson SC, providing homeowners with a highly functional shade option that perfectly suits areas with limited vertical space.
The Distinctive Convex Design
Like our traditional designs, the roll front awning features fully covered sides (often referred to as wings) to block angled sunlight and sideways rain. The defining difference lies in the front profile. Instead of a straight slope, the roll front features a smooth convex curvature. This shape typically forms a quarter of a circle from the top mounting point down to the bottom valance, creating a soft and welcoming aesthetic.

Digital Rendering
We superimpose your chosen awning design onto a photo of your house so you can preview the exact look before production begins.
In-House Fabrication

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the main difference between a roll front and a traditional awning?
A traditional awning has a straight angled roof, while a roll front features a convex, quarter-circle curve from the top down to the valance. Both styles include enclosed sides to provide maximum shade and weather protection.
Are the sides of a roll front awning open or closed?
The sides are fully covered. These covered fabric wings provide vital structural support while preventing direct sun and sideways rain from entering your windows or doors.
Will a roll front awning fit if I have low eaves above my windows?
Yes. Because of its curved quarter-circle design, this awning style requires less vertical mounting space than a standard straight-slope awning. This design provides an ideal solution for tight clearances without sacrificing coverage.
Does this style work well for historical or older homes?
Absolutely. The roll front profile offers a distinct vintage aesthetic. The curved architecture perfectly complements classic home designs and adds authentic charm to older residential properties.
