Awnings block the sun’s heat before it enters your house, cooling your home better than blinds or drapes. They reduce energy costs of air conditioning up to 25%, awnings save you money and reduce your homes carbon footprint.
Awnings protect you and your family from up to 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, by providing shade. Reducing direct sunlight with an awning decreases the temperature on your deck or patio by up to 20°F, enhancing your outdoor enjoyment. 100% acrylic awning fabrics are water repellent, mildew resistant, easy to care for and stay bright and beautiful for over 10 years. A retractable awning expands your seasonal living space and adds value to your house without a costly inconvenient renovation.
