The Beauty of Today’s Awnings

Adding an awning to your backyard patio is attractive and practical. It not only adds ‘curb appeal’ it adds living space and value to your home. Local manufacturers will build you a custom awning with your choice of color, fabric and size. Awnings are great for year round protection for your patio furniture and your patio itself. Protection from rain, hail, snow and sun. If you add side awnings, you can enjoy the extra space all year.

An awning can reduce your energy consumption by 25% in the summer and keep your back door free of snow in the winter. Your air conditioning system won’t have to work as hard, since the awning keeps the sun away from the windows.

Most heating and cooling is lost through windows. When the sun heats up the outside of the window, that heat is transferred into your house. An awning blocks direct sunlight, keeping your windows approximately twenty degrees cooler.

Benefits of adding an awning:

• Beauty: Today’s awnings are much more attractive and durable than they used to be. Manufacturers are using more imagination, different types of fabrics and a wide variety of colors in their designs and you can choose and create an awning to suit your taste. Since your awning is custom made, you choose the exact design and the color scheme you need.
• Savings and Protection: You won’t have to replace or refinish your outdoor furniture or your patio tiles nearly as often. Plus you will save approximately 25% on your energy bill.
• Affordable: Local manufacturers will custom build an awning for you at a fraction of the cost of adding a sun room, but with all of the benefits. Since you are buying directly from the manufacturer, you will get a beautiful awning at incredible savings. Installation is quick and easy, but if you prefer, there are many contractors more than willing to help.
• Additional living space: Adding an awning makes your patio more bearable in the summer. With side panels it is like adding another room. Add the convenience of a remote controlled retractable awning, and you can adjust the ‘room’ any way you like, easily with the push of a button, no more cranking as with the older models.

Today’s awnings are not like the awnings of yesterday, they are a masterpiece of modern design. Locally manufactured and custom built with the added convenience of a remote control.
