MADE IN THE SHADE . . . With the push of a button,
shady relief is at hand.
With dreams of lounging in the sun, you've invested
thousands of dollars in your new deck or patio. But the sun is much
hotter than you had expected, and with fears of skin cancer increasing
every day, you find yourself spending more time indoors. |
But don't despair. You can enjoy
your deck or patio--no matter the
temperature--if you install a
retractable fabric awning. With the
push of a button, cool, shady relief is
at hand.
Your personal comfort is just one of
the benefits of a retractable awning.
The shade from your awning can
reduce heat gain inside your home by
as much as 77 percent, lowering
indoor temperatures by 15 degrees.
Not only will you save on your energy
bill, but you will also protect valuable
draperies, carpet and furniture from
fading.
"Most people add an awning to their homes for
personal comfort so they can enjoy a deck or patio,"
said John Dearden, managing partner of Eclipse
Awning Systems, a leading national manufacturer.
"The additional benefits--reduced energy costs and
protecting home furnishings--are advantages that
homeowners quickly appreciate just as much."
There has never been a better time to consider a
retractable awning. Improvements in materials and
design innovations have made retractable awnings
longer lasting and more flexible than ever before.
Lateral arms, roller tubes, connecting components
and all-weather performance fabrics, such as the Sunbrella brand, are designed for carefree
service.

Anyone concerned about sun exposure will be glad to know that Sunbrella fabrics have been recognized by The Skin Cancer Foundation as offering significant levels of sun protection.

My work has me interacting with performers and behind-the-scenes people all day. It just doesn’t leave much time for truly enjoying their company so I entertain often at my home.
The deck in my backyard is large enough to accommodate a lot of people but the hot sun or casual rain would always drive them inside. I finally decided that a roll-out awning would be a practical solution to “keeping the party outside.”
I contacted SunBlockers Northwest and I am delighted that I did. The colors for the framework and fabric look terrific with my house and it rolls in and out with the touch of a button. My experience with SunBlockers Northwest was pleasant from start to finish and you should consider them if you want a more useable deck.

Motorization of retractable awnings and associated electronic controls contribute to carefree service. Wind sensors can automatically retract your awning to protect it from high winds, and sun sensors will cause the awning to extend when the sun comes out.
One of the most recent advances in retractable awnings is flexibility for just about any space. Through advanced engineering, an awning can be extended up to 16.5 feet from your home to cover an entire deck or patio. For smaller spaces, such as a town home, retractable awnings can be created that extend as much as 11.5 feet but are only 8 feet wide.
"Anyone considering a retractable awning should do their homework to be sure of getting a quality product," Dearden said. "With the right materials and professional installation, a retractable awning adds comfort and value to your home."
