Warmer weather in the spring and summer means sunnier days, which may require more shading around your home. That's where awnings come in. Awnings can go over both your doors and windows. For your convenience, they can be automated, which comes with additional benefits. Are you interested in retractable awnings for your home? If so, here are some things you should know.

They Provide Protection

Whether your awnings are static or automatic, they protect your home and you personally. They can provide shade from extreme heat and can ensure that you stay dry in wet weather. They can also protect the space above your doors and windows. Additionally, you can use them for a regular covering over your patio or deck. Luckily, with retractable awnings, you can adjust how much shading protection you need. After all, there may be some days when you want to let all the available sunshine in. They will also protect your skin. According to Cancer Institute NSW, high-quality and well-designed shade can lower exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays by up to 75%. All of our materials are treated with a fabric protector that prevents sun spotting and sun fading. All of our fabrics also block 98% UV rays.

They Save Energy

The main reason why any type of sun shading is so lucrative is the energy it can save in whatever area it's protecting. What homeowner doesn't want to save on those costly energy bills? Luckily, retractable awnings can help you save as much energy as static ones. They play a major role in helping to create an eco-friendly home. Because of the shading they provide, they also help insulate your home. As a result, you don't have to run your HVAC system as high as you normally would without them. You're saving money and can preserve the lifespan of your existing heating and cooling system.

They Are Made of High-Quality Materials

Our retractable awnings are made from excellent acrylic fabrics. Each of our fabrics have a 10-year fabric warranty for newly installed awnings. Our awnings are made from forged aluminum alloy, which is the same material used to build aircrafts. This ensures their durability and longevity. We take pride in offering the most attractive and strongest awnings on the market today. You can also choose various colors. Such color options allow you to match your new awnings to your overall home style and theme.

They Are Long-Lasting

All the nuts, bolts, and screws we use for our   retractable awnings   are made from the best corrosion-resistant stainless steel. All the metal parts of our awnings are electro-static powder-coated and warranted against rusting, chipping, and peeling. If you are making this important investment, we want you to be able to enjoy it for as long as possible!

There Are Sometimes Additional Perks

If you decide to choose us, our clients get emergency repair services. Our repair and warranty services set us apart from our competition. Besides our 10-year fabric warranty, we also offer up to a 20-year warranty on our top models and a minimum 5-year warranty on motors. We love that we can offer awnings with a 15 to 20-year warranty and solar shades with a 10-year warranty. Moreover, our technicians have many years of experience, and they are also manufacturing experts.

They Move Quickly

Imagine sitting outside on your patio, and it suddenly begins to rain. Or, what if a hail storm suddenly develops, and you don't want your awnings to become damaged? If you need to quickly seek refuge, you can do so with these retractable shades. In our experience, these awnings can open and close in less than a minute. When you're trying to prepare for an outdoor party or when you're opening or shutting your house for the day, it won't take long to do so.

If you're thinking of adding these movable shades to your home, you're making a good decision. Awnings, whether static or retractable, can add a lot to your residence. You can incorporate them with your home's style, enjoy shade and dryness, and save energy.

For our Family of Customers in these areas, here are your top 3 tips for keeping your exterior solar screens in tip top shape this autumn: 1. Gently Clean Your Shades Before the autumn storms arrive, taking the time to inspect your solar screens for leaves, debris, and dirt can help prevent future damage that these unwanted items could potentially cause. 2.
