Awnings: The Perfect Shelter Solution

July 26th, 2011 · Published to Shade Solutions by nicole

Your home offers you the best type of defense against all the harmful elements, including the nasty UV rays and the unrelenting rain. But what happens if you step out, say, to your patio? Here’s the practical solution: awnings.

Awnings are structures that extend outside your home—they are used in commercial establishments too. They are preferred by numerous homes, especially for those who are on a tight budget, since they are easy to install and do not cost a lot. The materials can also be very versatile, some of which are lightweight. The majority of awnings are coated to immensely reduce the effects of sun’s harmful rays. You can also just install columns if you need to transform your awnings into canopies.

These types of shades have also become automated. It’s not surprising to find houses and even buildings such as outdoor cafes to reveal the awnings with simple presses of a button. These are usually referred to as automated retractable awnings. Aluminum awnings, on the other hand, provide contemporary-styled but long-lasting shades. And if you desire to protect yourself for only certain times of the year, you can install the pop-up awnings and store them when not in use.
