Perks of a Florida Motorized Retractable Awning

Motorized awnings are a pretty simple addition to your Florida home when you think about it. They provide shade and shelter from the rain, but what else do they do for you? Awnings offer many benefits that you may not have considered before. If you’re thinking about adding an awning to your Florida home, read on for some benefits that you can expect!

Additional Living Space

There’s no doubt about it – motorized awnings provide additional living space. Not only do they keep the sun and rain off of you while you’re relaxing on your porch or patio, but they can also extend your outdoor living area by providing some much-needed shade. In Florida, where the weather is warm year-round, awnings can be a lifesaver.

Increased Florida Property Value

Summers in the south can be brutally hot, and the winters can be chilly. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some relief from the sun and rain? Retractable motorized awnings are a great way to add value to your home without investing a fortune.

Easy to Maintain

No matter how busy your schedule is, caring for your retractable awning is essential to keeping it looking new. We recommend a thorough cleaning a few times a year and promptly removing sticks and debris as they fall to reduce the possibility of damaging your canvas roof.

Reduced Energy Costs

Retractable awnings are an often-overlooked solution when it comes to reducing energy costs. Since we have partnered with Sunbrella fabrics, our motorized retractable awnings block 97% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This blockage will keep the inside of your home cooler, which keeps your energy costs lower.

Protects Against Harsh Florida Elements

If you live in Florida, you know that the weather can be unpredictable. One day it might be sunny and hot, and the next day it might be raining or windy. That’s why adding an awning to your home can be such a great idea – it will protect you from the elements no matter what the weather is like outside!

Instant Curb Appeal

If you’re like most homeowners, you’re always looking for ways to improve the value of your home. Installing motorized awnings on your Florida home is one way to add instant curb appeal! Retractable awnings provide many benefits that can enhance your home’s appearance.

Enjoy the Outdoors

We all love to relax and enjoy a scenic view whenever possible. The Florida sun can be brutal at times, so shade is necessary. A motorized awning offers shade at the push of a button for your porch, patio, or deck.

Unique Features of an SPF Motorized Retractable Awning

SPF has designed motorized deck awnings with your Florida home in mind and features unique perks you won’t find anywhere else. We use only the highest quality parts to provide the best protection available. Our remote-controlled motorized awnings make it simple to retract the rolling roof from the comfort of your seat.

Quiet Motors

We have partnered with Somfy to provide a heavy-duty yet ultra-quiet motor to power all our retractable awnings. The sound of the motorized awning rolling out will not interfere with your conversation.

Wind Sensors

When a pop-up storm comes rolling through, there is no need to be concerned if you forgot to retract your motorized awning. Our automatic wind sensors will retract the canvas roof at the right moment.

Quality Fabric

SPF uses Sunbrella fabrics that are fade-resistant and will compliment your style. Sunbrella integrates fabric characteristics into the manufacturing process rather than an applied finish that would come off after time.

Encased Housing

When your retractable awning is not needed, push one button, and it will roll in a beautiful casing that hangs vertically and out of view. We offer colors that will blend beautifully with the exterior color of your home.

Points to Consider Before Purchasing a Florida Retracting Awning

The warmer months mean spending as much time outdoors as possible for many of us. Whether entertaining on the deck or just enjoying some quality time with the family in the backyard, retractable awnings can provide shade and protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. But before you purchase a retractable awning for your home, there are a few points you should consider. Here are three things to keep in mind before buying a retractable roof.

Weather

Florida weather can turn quite quickly and sometimes without a moment’s notice. With an SPF motorized awning, you can promptly retract the canvas roof system out to protect against the glaring sun or light rain. There is no need for your dinner party to move indoors; just press a button, and you will have instant shade!

Combining Products

Every home presents us the opportunity to combine a motorized awning with some of our other shade protection products. We are pleased to offer garage bug door screens, rolling privacy screens, balcony shade screens, and more! The more products you pair at your Florida home, the more protection you receive from the hot sun and annoying insects.
