Advantages of Retractable Patio Awnings
The popularity of retractable awnings waned somewhat during the 90s and 00s, but in the last decade or so they have made a return as so many of us wish to utilise the outdoor spaces of our homes for more of the year, thus increasing demand.
As with most home improvement products, the quality and choice of awnings available has steadily risen over time, meaning that awnings can be used in a wider range of situations, and with increased functionality.
With Summer somewhere on the horizon, here are some reasons that a retractable awning may be right for you and your home:-
1. Keeping you cool – with more extreme and regular heatwaves, awnings can be used to provide a cool shaded area for you to enjoy your patio or garden. They can also be very useful to reduce the heat inside your home, by shading large south or west facing glazed areas
2. Protecting furnishings – flooring and upholstery can be damaged over time by the sun’s UV rays. Awnings that can be easily extended and retracted at the touch of a button and can be useful to help reduce this damage.
3. Protection from the elements – apparently the weather in the UK isn’t always blazing sunshine, who knew? Awnings can happily be used to protect you from a passing summer shower, or Autumn drizzle, meaning you can continue to use your outside space uninterrupted.
4. Aesthetic appeal – with a huge range of styles and colours available, you can be sure to find a retractable awning to suit your tastes and the style of your home.
Overall, retractable awnings offer a versatile and practical solution for homeowners seeking to improve their outdoor living spaces while providing functional benefits for the home itself.
