Your new retractable awning will be installed by our on-site technicians, with extra care to ensure you’re happy with the angles and positioning of your latest addition.
Retractable awnings let you personalize your outdoor experience with the right amount of sun or shade with the press of a button. Simply roll out your awning to create shade or shield your outdoor space from the rain. Retract your awning to protect it from high winds or to let a little more sunlight through your windows. They come in dozens of styles that compliment your home’s exterior and create your ideal patio experience. Retractable patio awnings create a cool, inviting outdoor living space perfect for backyard barbeques, hosting guests, and relaxing in the shade.
Block harmful UV rays and heat
Retractable awnings provide UV protection for you and your family. Plus, installing an awning can reduce the air temperature of your patio or backyard by up to 20 degrees.
Protect your outdoor furniture
Outdoor furniture like lounge chairs, tables, and rugs are constantly exposed to high temperatures, direct sunlight, and stormy weather. Retractable patio awnings will protect your furniture from exposure to the elements and prevent fading, mold, and other deterioration. Extend the life of your outdoor furniture by rolling out your awning during the hot summer months.
Control your living space
Your barbeques and back-yard gatherings don’t have to stop when the rain begins. Make your outdoor living space as comfortable as your indoor space by rolling out your awning to block rain, create shade, and prevent your deck from getting too hot for feet and paws.
Save on energy bills
Your air conditioning costs typically skyrocket during the hot summer months. Instead, you can roll out your backyard awning to block the sunlight coming in your windows and glass doors. Installing an awning can decrease your air conditioning costs by up to 25% during the summer. In the winter, simply retract your awning to let extra light in and reduce your heat bill, too.
Add to your curb appeal
We offer retractable awnings in a wide range of designs, colors, and sizes so you can improve your home’s curb appeal without compromising on style. Plus, your awning’s non-intrusive design will allow you to retract your awning without bulky, intrusive pergolas or structures taking up space in your yard.
Types of retractable awnings
We offer three different types of retractable awnings depending on your home’s needs. Choose between a manual, motorized, or remote-control awning to adjust your shade and retract your awning when you need.
Manual Awnings
Manual awnings are adjusted with a simple hand crank and can be a great option for budget-conscious and eco-friendly homes.
Motorized Awnings
If you aren’t a fan of cranking, motorized awnings can adjust easily with the press of a button. As the name suggests, these awnings are powered by a motor and are easier to open and close than traditional manual awnings. Many motorized awnings also contain wind sensors or other special features that retract or extend your awning based on the weather conditions outside.
Remote-control Awnings
Our premium remote-control awnings allow you to open and retract your awning effortlessly with one touch of a remote control. With this awning, you are able to adjust your awning settings from anywhere in your backyard. Like motorized awnings, many remote-control awnings also contain sensors and special features that monitor the weather conditions and retract or extend your awning to protect from high winds and storms.
How Do Retractable Awnings Work?
Retractable awnings are growing in popularity and may leave your neighbors wondering “how does that work?” There are two main components to all retractable awnings: the arms and the canopy material. Each awning contains two motorized or manually adjusted arms, which retract and extend to move the awning. Depending on your awning type, these arms could be articulated, meaning they are spring-loaded and open in stages, or telescopic, meaning they use gas-filed cylinders to extend. Telescopic arms are typically used for smaller spaces, while articulated arms can be used in a wide variety of settings. Many large awnings use lateral support arms that open and close horizontally under the canopy to create stronger support.
The canopy is typically made from acrylic or laminated fabric and can be customized with a variety of designs and colors. This material is designed to withstand high temperatures, direct sunlight, and exposure to the elements without damage or discoloration.
Many retractable awnings also come with special sensors and smart technology that monitors the wind, sun, and rain in your area and automatically retract or open depending on the weather. This will protect your awning from potential weather damage and ease your worries.
Retractable awnings are easy to install and maintain. Depending on your home or building style and the size of your canopy, your awning could be wall or roof mounted. As the name suggests, wall mounted awnings are installed on the exterior wall of your home and on any surface, including brick, vinyl siding, wood, stucco, and more. Roof mounted awnings can be installed directly on overhangs or eaves.
Where can retractable awnings be installed
Retractable awnings can be used in both commercial and residential settings. Both business-fronts and backyard patios can experience the benefits, including extra shade, energy savings, and increased curb appeal.
Residential Awnings
Adding an awning to your home adds a personal touch to your outdoor living space and can improve the quality of your patio or backyard. They can keep add to your home’s curb appeal, while keeping you cool and protecting your outdoor furniture from discoloration and damage. Retractable awnings are less intrusive than normal canopies and pergolas and require not permits or approval to be installed.
Commercial Awnings
Commercial businesses often install awnings to block sunlight, prevent glare, and protect customers from rain and snow. Retractable awnings can also save your business money by blocking the sun and heat from entering your windows in the summer and running up your air conditioning costs, while also letting light come in on cold winter days and lowering your heat bill. Customizable awnings will attract attention and help you stand out among your neighbors.
