Product Information

Think about how an awning can raise a home’s value and choose a design, both frame and fabric, if applicable, that will appeal to most buyers for a higher resale value.

As a general rule of thumb, a manual awning will always cost less than a motorized awning. Many manual awnings come in kits and can be installed by homeowners, as long as they’re not oversize. But a motorized installation requires the assistance of an electrician, which can raise the cost. In some designs, a motorized awning can include sensors that automatically operate the awning. If the sensor detects sunlight, it will open to the ideal position automatically. Once the sun goes down, the awning automatically retracts. There are many benefits to owning an awning, but for homeowners wanting to save on their energy bills, an automatic motorized option can help keep a home cool without the AC having to work overtime. Cut down on luxurious features. For example, to retract the awning, choose a crank instead of a motor for instant cost savings.Sailcloths are ideal for vacation homes where shade is appreciated but an awning can’t be monitored year-round. They’re also great for the occasional party or in geographic areas that don’t get a lot of hot weather.

Frames are typically constructed of aluminum, steel, or a combination of both, fit with a rust-resistant powder coating. Lateral arms connected to the mounting bar and front bar extend and retract the awning on both manual and motorized models.Homeowners tend to focus on the awning material first, especially because of how it will visually affect their outdoor space. But frame material is equally if not more important because of the strength it adds to the awning. In ideal locations, window awnings can save homeowners hundreds of dollars each year. But this goes beyond a single family’s monetary savings. First, a reduced demand for energy during times of peak usage results in overall savings for utility companies and all the clients they serve. Also, the environment benefits from less energy consumption. Protection From UV Rays

Direct sunlight isn’t just uncomfortable; it can also be dangerous. Excessive exposure to the sun’s damaging UV rays can lead to painful sunburn, premature aging, and increased skin cancer risk. Prolonged UV exposure can also increase the risk of potentially blinding eye diseases. Nicely landscaped yards can increase a home’s value. One of the reasons is because landscaped yards often have natural shade built in. If a homeowner wants to increase the value of their home with shade but can’t afford to wait for newly planted trees to mature, a retractable awning is an option that potential home buyers are likely to appreciate. Decreased Energy Bills

Awnings can develop mildew, which is an early-stage type of mold. As microscopic fungus floats through the air, it lands on moist surfaces, where the wet conditions lend a hand to serious growth. Mildew is mostly a cosmetic issue, but prolonged exposure can cause health problems. And if mildew is left to grow on an awning for too long, there can be cosmetic damage that eventually shortens the lifespan of the awning. Choose an awning material wisely. A cheaper material may not last as long as a pricier option, leading to more frequent replacements than with a larger initial investment for quality material. This model is 10 by 8 feet, but there are eight sizes and 19 solid and striped fabrics, so chances are you’ll find the right combo to suit your style. Plus, you can choose whether to orient the motor’s on the left or right to better fit your setup.
