WHY AWNINGS
ENERGY EFFICIENCY - AWNINGS
Exterior solution dyed acrylic fabric retractable awnings (patio covers) can
reduce interior heat in homes and businesses during periods of sunlight by 77
percent according to a study by the American Society of Heating and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Research has shown that energy efficiency,
shade and lowering of your electric bill are the most important reasons to
purchase retractable awnings, window awnings, or a sun protection system.
BGE has incorporated a 50% increase in the cost of our electrical service.

AESTHETICS - AWNINGS
Our awnings customers tell us aesthetics, elegance & stunning beauty are the
main features of our complete line of retractable awnings, window awnings &
deck awnings.
FADING
Retractable awnings retain room brightness, and at the same time protect INDOOR
furniture, carpeting, wallpaper and furnishings from fading. Retractable awnings
also protect OUTDOOR furniture fabric from fading.
NO CONSTRUCTION COSTS - AWNINGS
Retractable awnings are like adding a room to your house, condominium or
commercial structure without any construction costs....no general contractor or
architect is needed. In addition, retractable awnings are also significantly
less expensive than permanent construction.
WATER RESISTANT AWNINGS
Retractable awnings help keep the rain off the patio, deck, terrace, balcony,
poolside, driveway or jacuzzi (if sufficient slope is available) since our
retractable awning fabrics are water resistant.
INCLEMENT WEATHER & SNOW
In the event of inclement weather retractable awnings (patio covers) can be
closed so the awnings are not damaged by high winds (ripped apart) hail or large
amounts of heavy rain. Retractable awnings can be rolled up (closed) in the
winter. Permanent (fixed) awnings cannot be rolled up and therefore a weight
problem can occur (awning collapses) when the snow collects on the awning fabric.
