If you want shade for a deck or patio in Cheshire, CT, a retractable awning gives you a covered outdoor room on hot days and full sun when you want it. Aladdin Inc installs custom retractable awnings in Cheshire and nearby towns, and we are the area’s original Sunesta dealer.
Awning or Permanent Cover?
Homeowners often compare a retractable awning with a fixed roof or pergola. A permanent cover gives constant protection but also constant shade, which can darken the house and the yard. A retractable awning lets you choose. Our article on a retractable awning versus a permanent patio cover walks through the tradeoffs.
Built to Fit Your Deck
Every awning is made to order. You choose the width, the projection, the fabric from over 100 weatherproof options, and whether it opens by hand crank or with a motor. Sunesta awnings carry the exclusive lifetime Sunesta warranty.
Weather and Your Awning
A retractable awning is designed for sun and light rain. In strong wind, heavy rain or snow it should be retracted. Many homeowners choose a motorized awning with a wind sensor so it closes itself when they are not home. See our page on motorized retractable awnings for how that works.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will an awning damage my siding?
No, when installed correctly. The awning is fastened to the house framing behind the siding, and we seal the mounting points.
When should I order?
Late winter and early spring orders are usually installed in time for the first warm weekends. Summer is the busiest season.
Can you match an existing awning on my house?
Bring us a photo or let us see it when we visit, and we will look for a close fabric match.
How long does a retractable awning last?
With routine care, a quality retractable awning lasts many years. The frame is built to last, and the fabric can be replaced when it eventually fades or wears.
