If you’re thinking about installing a retractable awning at your home to protect your family and guests from inclement weather, you may be wondering how well it could hold up against the wide range of conditions that Connecticut experiences from one season to the next. The state sees rain, snow, sleet, hail, strong winds, and intense sunlight throughout the year, and conditions often change quickly and dramatically. Since a retractable awning is a significant financial investment, you want to be confident that it will be durable enough to stand up to a variety of conditions.
A Retractable Awning Can Handle CT Weather
Aladdin offers retractable awnings made by Sunesta, an industry leader. A Sunesta awning can withstand strong winds, as well as the weight of several inches of snow and other extreme weather conditions that can damage awnings made by some of its competitors.
When an awning is retracted, the fabric, metal components, and operating mechanism are all shielded from the elements. While it’s best to retract an awning before it gets too windy or before a significant storm drops a large amount of snow, a Sunesta awning is durable enough to stand up to harsh Connecticut weather without becoming damaged.
If you forget to retract the awning, or if the conditions change quickly and you have to rush inside before you have a chance to retract it, you can be confident that the awning will still be in good condition after the storm passes. The slope of an awning encourages rain and snow to run off and minimizes the amount of snow, leaves, and other types of debris that can accumulate on the awning’s surface.
