A Retractable Awning Protects You And Your Furniture

A Retractable Awning Protects You And Your Furniture

By:


The outdoor space design of the backyard is finally catching up to the architectural design of the house. No longer does the living space stop at the exterior door but continues to the usable area in and around the house. Depending on where you are located, seasonal or year around outdoor space has become part of the overall designed space to compliment and coordinate with the interior rooms. Outdoor designs have combined the qualities of nature with the comfort, choices and integral detail of the indoor space designs. The outdoor environment has become more functional and organized by this confluence of interior design standards resulting in an indoor/outdoor unified concept.


Outdoor space is defined, shaped and limited by environmental structures like landscape areas, fences, patios, gazebos, arbors, trellises and furnishings. The outdoor usable patio area when enclosed by a weather proof roof is further defined as a open room rather than an open space and also extends the usability of the patio during inclement weather. The patio can be covered with a compatible designed retractable awning canopy that is far more economical and quicker than a porch and provides weather protection upon demand.


To make the awning unify the design spaces there must be a natural flow and circulation between the indoor rooms and outdoor space. This will be controlled by the inviting placement and size of the retractable awning compared to the house, backyard and patio spaces. Access to the kitchen and location of the exterior doors will help in determining the preferred placement of the patio and attachment of the retractable awning.


The awning comes in several standard sizes and numerous patterns and colors. The canopy material is water resistant and blocks the sun UV rays and lasts for years if properly maintained. Most standard canopy opening and closing functions are done by a manual crank with a handle that fold away out of site. There are retractable awning operational options for larger or custom made awnings that include an electric open/close control with or without a remote and weather sensor awning opening when rain is detected. These options are costly but maybe offset by their ease of operation. Awning accessories include valances, complete side screening and or drop curtains for more insect and weather protection.


The beautiful patio retractable awning offers many benefits to the home occupants including protection from inclement and rainy weather, extends use of the patio/deck area, blocks health damaging Ultra Violet rays, controls amount of sunlight, shields undesirable views and reflected glare, reduces fading and discoloration of drapes, carpet and paintings and can reduce sun exposed interior heat gain by 70% to cut your cooling bills to name a few. The patio awning has also improved the material of the canopy by adding new colors, styles, sizes and patterns so the owners has more selections to compliment the house. Contact a local patio rep to discuss your project and the availability of a beautiful retractable patio awning.
