Retractable Awnings for High Sun Exposure Areas

Every façade of your home or business that is exposed to the sun is different depending on the angle it faces and what sort of natural protection is afforded like trees or hillsides. A wide open vista facing south, west or southwest obviously receives the greatest exposure, which is the first guide in selecting the style of shade structure that might be most suitable.

This wide open patio and a mostly southern exposure will clearly receive the most sun, and in the Southwest this means summer and winter. Retractable awnings are one of the most versatile shade solutions for the simple reason that they can be fully or partially extended, or fully retracted. The deep coverage they provide will reduce heat and glare from penetrating to the interiors which reduces energy costs in the warm months. The protection a retractable awning provides year round prevents fading in textiles, artwork, leathers, and wood flooring. In high winds, the awnings can be fully retracted to prevent damage to the mounting structures.

There are a huge array of colors to choose from as well as patterns in fabric. Styling can also include a straight edge, a scalloped edge or another of your choice. Custom retractable awnings are designed and fabricated to fit the space precisely, and will last for years.
