Solair®
retractable awnings offer an expansive number of advantages.
When looking for ways to expand your living space. One of the first places to turn is the patio or deck. While this outdoor area offers many advantages, it does have one big drawback – the blazing sun. Between the hours of 10am and 5pm, the patio area is so hot, it is virtually unusable.
To remedy this problem and extend time outdoors, look to create shade. Some people choose to add a permanent roof. Others opt for a simple patio umbrella. You have a third option – Solair retractable awnings.
The most obvious difference is cost. Permanent roofs can run into the tens of thousands of dollars, while a quality retractable awning can be installed for as little as $2,000.
The retractable awning is also faster and easier to install. Permanent roofs require extensive planning, architectural designs, building permits, and significant construction time that could last a week or more. Solair retractable awnings, on the other hand, can be installed in a day.
Once the permanent roof is up, it is up. Solair retractable awnings give homeowners the flexibility to manage their shade as they desire. On sunny days, they can extend the awning and enjoy the cool comfort; in the evenings, they can retract the unit and enjoy the stars.
Finally, there's the aesthetics. Solair retractable awnings give homeowners many more style options. They can choose from hundreds of Sunbrella® fabric patterns and colors, plus numerous frame colors, that can be coordinated with the architecture of their house and even their patio furnishings.
While both options provide the flexible shade that permanent roofs don't, many homeowners are gravitating toward retractable awnings for several reasons.
First and foremost, retractable awnings provide more usable living space. Even the largest umbrellas can shade a table area at best. Solair retractable awnings can cover an entire patio, allowing homeowners to use the space to entertain large groups, hold parties or just relax with friends and family.
Cost is also a factor. While umbrellas are less expensive, homeowners are starting to factor in the additional savings that Solair retractable awnings provide. Studies prove that retractable awnings significantly lower the indoor temperature of the house by as much as 15 degrees, and can reduce heat gain by as much as 77%, saving homeowners as much as 60% on their energy bills. Installing a retractable awning will help protect furniture, carpet and drapes from harmful UV rays, which can add up to significant savings over the course of time.
Studies show that a retractable awning will keep your deck or patio up to 20 degrees cooler. And, Sunbrella® fabrics are designed to allow air to circulate through the fabric instead of building up under the awning.
Aesthetics are high on the list of reasons people are choosing Soliar retractable awnings. Unlike umbrellas, they become a part of the architecture, an extension of the house. And they provide a larger canvas on which homeowners can create a look, a mood, a style.
Finally, Solair retractable awnings can add to the overall value of the home. When it comes time to put the house on the market, the retractable awning becomes an attractive selling feature that potential buyers will be willing to pay for.
