The sun just seems to get stronger every year. While sunblock is a great option, a retractable awning provides shelter during the hottest hours and can be opened to give you access to the night stars and all their glory. Retractable awnings and patio covers use a simple but effective trick to control pounding heat, glare and UV rays: they block the sun.

Retractable awnings are maintenance free due to the combination of a strong rust free frame, with a self-lubricating mechanism and durable water repellent fabrics. They close in under a minute and do not require any storage for the winter months.

Awnings expand your outdoor living area and they provide energy savings. Tests have shown that the area beneath an awning can be as much as 20° cooler. Because of this, temperatures inside your building are cooler and air-conditioning costs are reduced.
