An awning is a retractable cloth covering that is used over windows, doors, and patio areas over your home. While some awnings can be manually operated by a crank – the newest style of awnings is motorized. This makes it easy and quick to add a cover over your space.
The main purpose of adding an awning to your house is to provide protection from heat and sunlight; however, there are other benefits that come with it as well.
Here’s why you should consider installing a retractable awning on your home!
No need for manual operation.
A great reason to choose a motorized awning is that you can control the awning from inside your home, which means you don’t have to get up and manually open the awning. This is especially beneficial if you have health issues that make it difficult for you to move around, or if there are other reasons why getting up and moving around can be difficult or dangerous. The options for controlling an automatic retractable awning include using your smartphone, tablet, or other remote control devices.
Home value enhancement.
Retractable awnings can also increase the value of your home. When it comes to selling your house, you want to make sure that it’s as marketable as possible. There are many factors that go into this, but one simple way to make a big difference is by installing an attractive retractable awning on your house’s front porch or patio area.
Retractable awnings will add curb appeal and increase the comfort level of your home, making it more desirable for prospective buyers looking at homes in your Connecticut neighborhood.
Added shade and protection.
Awnings are also a great option to protect you from the sun and rain. They reduce heat gain in the summer and keep the house cool in the winter by providing shade or shelter from inclement weather. If you’re concerned about energy bills, retractable awnings can help you reduce them even more! They also provide a space for relaxation and entertainment; an area where you can spend time outside with family or friends that wouldn’t otherwise be possible due to high temperatures or inclement weather conditions like rain storms or snowfall (depending on where you live).
