If you're looking to change the appearance of your home or
office without having to make structural alterations, then look no further than Kohler Awnings.

Tim Beesley, owner of Children's Kastle Early Learing Center, is
adamant about the reason why his business has increased dramatically
since the opening of his newest location on Seneca Street in Elma.

"No doubt about it, the look of the building that Kohler Awning was able
to give us, to turn this buidling into a castle, has been a major reason
why our enrollment has doubled since we made the transformation,"Beesley says. He describes how the creative team at Kohler designed colorful awnings and flags, transforming an ordinary building into a castle complete with towers.

"I loved the look from the minute I saw the computer renderings from Kohler, and more importantly children and parents love it, which draws them to our center to see what we offer," Beesley says.

This enthusiastic response does not surprise the people at Kohler Awning in
Cheektowaga. Founded more than 75 years ago, Kohler Awing provides permanent and retractable awnings for commerical and residential markets, letting customers combine functional elegance with decorative appeal to enchance the architecture and energy efficency of any buidling.

But Kohler's service have grown significantly beyond awnings. The Art Department and creative team at Kohler design facades, signage, vinly graphics applications, banners, and other elements to give a business a new look. Plus the company's welding shop offers framework welding and other jobs for many local businesses.

"One service grew into the next", President Marty KOhler says. "Our business customers liked the quality we brought to the job, and began to ask us to handle more elements. Today, business owners throughout the Buffalo area can call on us when they want to improve the face of their building without making structural alterations."

Business is booming in the retratable awning market, because nothing could
be more convenient than simply flipping a switch and watching an awning roll out on its own.

"Having shade only when you want it is a huge appeal, and retractable are
one of the largest growing market segments," says Kohler. "People love
retractables for their home and business."

The Kohler showroom display window awnings, retractables, permanent framework awnings, screenwork for patios and more. Racks of fabric make it easy to look at selections, plus the computerized preview system an digital photography shows what various models look like on a building.

Kohler Awning's solid reputation is the reason why customers like David
and Linda Verity of Lockport called Kohler for an awning for their back yard. "Kohler was the only company that would bother to design an awning to match the lines of our sculpted patio, " Linda says. "We love it".
