subject: Outdoor Awnings [print this page] I had some window awnings at my previous house that made the house much cooler. Awnings were at each front window. Each window was very large and beautiful and I didn't want the awnings to take away from the beauty of each window, but the retractable awnings were perfect! The awnings were easily retractable and the color of the retractable window awnings blended in with the color of the house so as not to detract from the beauty of each window and to blend in with the house shade. Because of how easy the retractable window awnings worked I was able to have them in their retractable window awnings state and then to fold the window awnings out as to create shade for each window.
The shade these window awnings created lowered the temperature of those rooms and the house by a few degrees which saved us on utilities bills. The outdoor look of the window awnings was fantastic with each window. These window awnings were also retractable which means that I could roll them up very simply so that the sun came through each window. I did this during the winter months when I wanted the outdoor heat of the sun to shine through each window when the outdoor temperature was cold. The retractable nature of the awnings on each window also made it so that I could put the window awnings up before a big storm. It was so easy to roll up each of the retractable window awnings and when the awnings were rolled up they blended in so well with the house because of the fabric and shade of the paint.
Now, with a newer home I have ordered awnings for my patio. The type of awnings that I enjoy are the awnings with fabric that blend in with the outdoor landscape around my patio. The awnings that are also retractable are very helpful so that there can be a choice of shade or if I want to sun-bathe, that's an example when I would use the retractable awnings. These patio awnings I got also came with a deal for the covers for my patio hot-tub. Artistically, it looks great to have awnings and the covers for the hot-tub match.
It is important to get high quality awnings that don't fade from the outdoor elements and that don't break easily from outdoor wind, etc. You can always get some cheap awnings and patio covers, but if you want the awnings to look good and last longer, find some high quality awnings and patio covers.
Awnings provide the shade you need for your barbecue. Awnings and patio covers provide the protection for your patio and patio furniture and make an outdoor get-together in the sunny day enjoyable in the shade of the awnings. Awnings for each window can also help provide shade for your home while those trees grow large enough to provide shade. Why let your patio sit all day long in the sun when you can get patio covers and awnings so that you can enjoy the shade and enjoy your patio at any time of day?
