When people search for a new home in Connecticut, they often look for a property with a deck or patio. Homeowners who find a house with an outdoor living area are sometimes disappointed when they can rarely use it in the summer because it gets too hot. If you’re facing that dilemma, installing a retractable awning is a simple and effective solution.

Reasons to Install a Retractable Awning

On a hot summer day, your family and friends will only want to spend time outdoors if they can sit in the shade. A retractable awning can cover your patio or deck and protect people from brutally hot temperatures. When an awning is extended, the area underneath it can be several degrees cooler than the rest of your yard. 

A retractable awning can also protect your furniture from extreme summer heat and UV damage. High temperatures can make anything made of metal too hot to touch, and the sun’s intense UV rays can cause furniture with fabric upholstery and cushions to fade. A retractable awning can keep your outdoor living area from heating up too much, prevent sun damage, and extend the lifespan of your patio furniture.

You’ll no doubt enjoy the flexibility that a retractable awning provides. You’ll be able to easily extend your awning on a hot, sunny day and retract it on a cloudy day with mild temperatures so you can enjoy the fresh air and the scenery around your home. 

Other Benefits of a Retractable Awning

An awning can protect you and your guests from more than the sun. Rain is a common concern that homeowners have to deal with when planning outdoor events. If rain is predicted, people can be forced to change their plans at the last minute or call off an event entirely. 

With a retractable awning, you won’t have to worry about rain interfering with your plans. That peace of mind can make you feel comfortable scheduling get-togethers weeks or months in advance.

An awning can be a stylish focal point that can enhance your home’s curb appeal. You can choose a fabric with one solid color or a pattern that complements your house’s architectural design and color scheme. If other properties on your street don’t have awnings, installing one can make your home stand out.
