Summer is coming up, which means you’re probably looking forward to spending time relaxing outdoors. If you have a deck or patio that isn’t covered, it may get unbearably hot on sunny summer days or maybe unusable in rainy weather. There’s a simple solution: install a retractable awning.

An awning can also shield the inside of your house from the sun’s harsh rays so your air conditioner won’t have to work so hard to keep your home at a comfortable temperature in the summer. In addition, a retractable awning can improve your home’s curb appeal.

Types of Retractable Awning Fabrics

Retractable awnings can be exposed to harsh sunlight. It can be stored away during periods with strong winds or rain to minimize the risk of damage, but Connecticut homeowners know that sometimes severe weather seems to strike out of the blue. The fabric that you choose for a retractable awning should therefore be durable enough to stand up to inclement weather.

Natural fabrics, such as canvas, are attractive, but they generally don’t last as long as synthetic materials, such as vinyl and acrylic. If you’re looking for a long-lasting material, a synthetic fabric will be a better choice than a natural material.

Acrylic and vinyl are both good fabric choices since they can provide protection from harsh sunlight and rain. Unlike some other types of fabrics, synthetic materials won’t become discolored from sun exposure and can resist mold and mildew.

A woven fabric will allow air to flow underneath the awning. If having good ventilation on your patio is one of your goals, a woven fabric may be a good choice. Vinyl and plastic fabrics don’t provide as much ventilation as woven ones.

Retractable awning fabrics come in a wide variety of colors and styles to complement homes with all sorts of architectural styles and color schemes. You can choose an awning fabric with one solid color or a striped pattern.
