BENEFITS OF INSTALLING RETRACTABLE PERGOLA AWNINGS
Awnings Protect Your Home or Building from the Elements
Not only do awnings and pergolas protect you from the weather but they protect your home or commercial building. Awnings and pergolas provide a shield of protection for your home or building from the elements, including the sun, rain, hail and snow. Depending on where your awning is installed, it may protect your homes window frame, door frame, door casings and porch or patio floor. In addition to protecting the structure of your house or building, awnings and pergolas also protect the furniture and carpeting or rugs that are on your porch or patio.
Awnings Add to Your Home’s or Buildings Market Value
Another huge benefit of awnings and pergolas is that they add value to your home or commercial building market value. Installing an awning or pergola can be a great idea for improving the value if you ever want to sell your house or building.
Awnings Improve Your Curb Appeal
There’s no doubt that awnings and pergolas add beauty to your home or building, thus improving curb appeal. Not only does an awning or pergola look welcoming to guests, but awnings and pergolas also come in a variety of designs, styles and colors. Choose an awning or pergola that matches your building or home’s outdoor decor for the lasting beauty of your home or building.
Save Money on Energy with an Awning
Imagine being able to improve your curb appeal and save money on your home or building at the same time. Well, that’s exactly what you’re getting when you install an awning or pergola. Because awnings and pergolas block direct sunlight from reaching your home or building, you will save a significant amount of money on air conditioning. In addition to providing coolness during the summer, a retractable awning or retractable pergola can also assist in heating your home during the winter when the awning is retracted so that the sunlight can reach your house.
Protect Your Patio or Deck from Bird Droppings
Let’s admit it, bird droppings on your patio or deck can be a pain to deal with. With an awning or pergola, you’ll never have to worry about finding bird droppings on your outdoor furniture or floor ever again. But don’t worry, cleaning your awning or pergola fabric is super quick and easy. Simply spray your awning or pergola with a mild soap solution and gently brush the fabric. Finish cleaning it by rinsing the awning or pergola and allowing it to air dry. Be sure to check the cleaning instructions that your awning or pergola came with beforehand in case your fabric has specific cleaning recommendations.
String Lights on Your Awning for an Attractive Appearance
Want to spruce up the look of your home? Awnings and pergolas allow you to hang string lights/fairy lights adjacent to your house or building for added beauty during the day and at night. Be sure to choose lightweight string lights so that they don’t damage your awning/pergola.
