  • • Framework: The structure is usually made from powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel to ensure it is rust-proof and durable against coastal humidity.
  • Thermal Efficiency: A major benefit of this design is the air gap it creates between the fabric and the window, which encourages air circulation and prevents heat from being trapped against the glass
