3 Benefits of Retractable Awnings

Making your home more comfortable and energy-efficient doesn’t necessarily require a large-scale project. Installing a retractable awning is a simple change that can provide far-reaching benefits.

Use Your Deck or Patio Regardless of the Weather

Spending time outdoors can be a pleasant way to relax, but a deck or patio can become unbearably hot on a sunny day. A retractable awning can lower the temperature of a covered area by up to 20 degrees, which means that you’ll be able to take advantage of your outdoor space and enjoy some fresh air, even on a scorching summer day.

Rain can ruin an outdoor gathering, but you won’t have to worry about that if you install a retractable awning. If you plan an outdoor event a week in advance, you will have no way to predict what the weather will be like on that particular day. With a retractable awning, that won’t be a concern. You will be able to invite guests and be confident that you’ll be able to use your outdoor space for entertaining, no matter the weather.

You Can Save Money on Air Conditioning

Installing a retractable awning can help keep your utility bills down. During the summer, sunlight can stream through windows and cause the interior of a house to heat up. The shade that a retractable awning provides can keep the inside of your home cooler. That means you will be able to use the air conditioner less and save money.

You Can Increase Your Home’s Resale Value

A retractable awning can raise your house’s value. People who are looking for homes in Connecticut often value outdoor seating areas, but only if they can use them during a significant portion of the year. A deck or patio that gets direct sunlight can be unusable during the summer, which is precisely when homeowners want to host outdoor gatherings. A retractable awning can make your house more appealing to potential buyers.
