Awnings are often used to enhance a home’s appearance, but did you know that they also serve many other purposes? Awnings can:
- Save you money by making your home more energy efficient. Studies show that awnings can block up to 77% of the sun’s direct heat from entering through windows into your home. This causes indoor temperatures to drop by 8-15 degrees, therefore reducing your energy costs by up to 25%.
- Shelter you and all those dear to you from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. Unlike planting trees that could take years to grow to maturity before they provide shade to your yard, we can help you add shade just about anywhere in a very short period of time.
- Provide protection from the effects of sun damage on your interior furniture, drapes, flooring and irreplaceable portraits. The sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause fading in fabrics, carpets, wood, and even pictures. With awnings, your belongings will be shielded from direct exposure to the sun’s rays while still allowing natural light to enter the room.
- Add additional living space to your home without the hassles, mess or cost of construction. A patio canopy can provide you with the comfort and protection that you enjoy indoors while still allowing you and your family to relax and enjoy the fresh air, beautiful views and sounds of nature. You can have all this while also protecting your outdoor furniture and your deck or patio from environmental damage.
- Protect wooden window frames from the elements. In our climate, we experience the weather conditions of all four seasons; sometimes all in just one week. With these sudden and drastic weather changes, wooden window frames will often deteriorate. Our awnings can provide protection from the sun, wind, snow and rain; extending the life of your window frames.
- Decrease glare on television and computer screens by up to 95%. Do you find that you have to close the curtains just to be able to watch the morning news or work on your computer? Often, curtains can darken a room so much that you end up turning the lights on and wasting energy. With awnings, you will no longer have to block natural light from entering your home or waste energy. Awnings block the direct sunlight from shining brightly on your screens while still allowing natural light to enter in and brighten the room.
