What is a marquis style awning?

Question

I need a picture or something. What does a marquis style aluminum awning look like?

Answer 1

A "marquis" aluminum awning is usually a large flat patio type awning with built in guttering and color accent strips around the edge. Add screen walls to a patio marquis awning and you have a screen room or "florida room". They are also used for carports. They are also sometimes used for sidewalk awnings in front of retail businesses as well as over truck loading docks. Here is a link to pictures of Marquis aluminum awnings:
