Installing a retractable awning is one of the most common upgrades that Connecticut homeowners make. A retractable awning offers several practical and aesthetic benefits.
Enjoy Your Outdoor Space
Often, people would like to eat outside during the summer, but their plans get hampered because the sun is so strong that the seating area is unbearably hot or because rain is expected. With a retractable awning, you won’t have to worry about the weather interfering with your plans. A retractable awning can cover your patio or deck, keep it at a comfortable temperature on a hot day, and protect you and your guests from the rain.
Control Your Utility Costs
Homeowners often don’t realize that a retractable awning can help regulate the temperature inside a house. On a hot summer day, you can extend the awning to create shade, reduce the amount of sunlight that comes in through the windows, and keep your home from heating up. That means you won’t have to run the air conditioner all day to keep the house at a comfortable temperature.
During the winter, you can retract the awning to maximize the amount of sunlight that enters your home through the windows. Warming your house naturally can reduce the amount you need to use the furnace, which can save you money.
Improve Aesthetics
Retractable awnings can be a focal point that can improve your house’s curb appeal and add to its character. You can choose a color and design that complement your home, or you can select a bold color to serve as a contrast. With dozens of colors and fabrics to choose from, you’ll be sure to find one that suits your house and your personal style.
Raise Your Home’s Value
A retractable awning can be an attractive feature if you decide to sell your house in the future. The same benefits that make a retractable awning appealing to you can also make it desirable to potential buyers. People who want to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible and who are concerned about keeping their monthly utility bills down will recognize the benefits of a retractable awning.
