Awning canopy cover and connection system

1. A method of constructing an awning assembly comprising an aesthetic awning cover that achieves a desired aesthetic appearance, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a unitary film along a first portion of an awning screen, the unitary film being a set width substantially matching the width of said awning screen and a portion of the length of said awning screen, the unitary film being integrally formed from a first polished material and a second strengthening material;

securing said unitary film to a single side of an awning canopy by a heating process along said set width to the awning canopy, the awning canopy having a substantially same width as said set width of said unitary film and said awning canopy having a length forming the remaining portion of said awning screen, the combination of said unitary film and said awning canopy forming said awning screen; and

securing said awning screen to a roll bar of the awning assembly such that when said awning assembly is in a closed position, said unitary film provides an awning cover to said awning assembly.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein a step of integrally forming said first polished material with said second material further comprises the step of co-extruding said first material with said second material.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein a step of securing said unitary film by a heating process along said set width to an awning canopy further comprises the step of co-extruding said unitary film with said awning canopy.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising a step of generating the first polished material by polishing a surface of said first material with a polishing wheel to have a gloss level of 30 to 100%.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising a step of providing a coating to a surface of said first material such that said surface will obtain a gloss level of 30 to 100%.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein a step of forming said unitary film comprises forming the unitary film to comprise a homogenous uniform material.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein a step of forming said unitary film comprises forming the unitary film to comprise a homogenous uniform material that includes an upper surface that is exposed when the awning assembly is in the closed position and covers said awning canopy, the upper surface construction includes forming at least one of a finished coating and a polished coating on the upper surface.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein a step of forming said unitary film comprises forming the unitary film to comprise a homogenous uniform material that includes an upper surface that is exposed when the awning assembly is in the closed position and covers said awning canopy, and further selectively forming the unitary film with a pigment to provide a finished coating to said unitary film.

9. The method of claim 1 a step of forming said unitary film comprising forming a polyester film.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising a step of providing a third material to the unitary film such that said second material is positioned between said first and third materials.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising a step of providing said first and third materials in the form of polyvinylchloride and providing said second material in the form of a woven scrim fabric.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein a step of forming said unitary film comprises forming the unitary film to comprise a fourth material bonded to the first material on a side opposite the second material wherein said fourth material comprises a metal mimicking coating.

13. The method of claim 1 a step of forming said unitary film comprising forming a reinforcement substrate to form a composite cover.

14. The method of claim 13 comprising binding said reinforcement substrate to said canopy at an attached region.

15. The method of claim 13 comprising spacing said reinforcement substrate from said awning canopy during assembly.

16. A method of constructing an awning assembly comprising an aesthetic awning cover that achieves a desired aesthetic appearance, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a unitary film that is incapable of separation without destruction along a first portion of an awning screen, the unitary film being a set width substantially matching the width of said awning screen and a portion of the length of said awning screen, the unitary film being integrally formed from a first polished material and a second strengthening material;

securing said unitary film by co-extruding an awning canopy and the unitary film along said set width, the awning canopy having a substantially same width as said set width of said unitary film and said awning canopy having a length forming the remaining portion of said awning screen, the combination of said unitary film and said awning canopy forming said awning screen, the co-extruding comprising forming a top portion of the unitary film with the first polished material that is bonded to the second strengthening material, said polished material comprising a gloss level ranging between 30 and 100%, the unitary film coupled to the awning canopy along a first side opposite the top portion; and

securing said awning screen to a roll bar of the awning assembly such that when said awning assembly is in a closed position, said unitary film provides an awning cover to said awning assembly.

17. The awning assembly of claim 16 wherein said first polished material comprises a material suitable for painting or dying.

18. The awning assembly of claim 16 wherein said unitary film comprises polyvinylchloride as the first polished material and a woven scrim fabric as said second strengthening material.

19. The awning assembly of claim 18 comprising connecting a distal end of the unitary flexible film segment directly to said awning canopy via a single connection location between a single side of the awning canopy and a single side of the unitary flexible film segment.

20. A method of constructing an awning assembly comprising an aesthetic awning cover that achieves a desired aesthetic appearance, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a unitary flexible film segment that is incapable of separation without destruction along a first portion of an awning screen, the unitary film being a set width substantially matching the width of said awning screen and a portion of the length of said awning screen, the unitary film being integrally formed from a first polished material and a second strengthening material;

coupling an attached region of an awning canopy to a single side of said unitary flexible film segment to form the awning screen;

adding a color and contrast to the unitary flexible film segment that substantially matches end caps attached to a roll bar configured to support said awning screen;

providing a proximal end of the unitary flexible film segment for securing to a support structure; and

securing said awning screen to the roll bar of the awning assembly such that when said awning assembly is in a closed position, said unitary film provides an awning cover to said awning assembly.
