Why So Many People Choose a Florida Awning

Beautiful sunny days, mild weather, and year-round outdoor activities have brought many to the sunshine state. Being outside and getting vitamin D is essential for better sleep and lower stress levels.

Research shows that too much exposure to the sun can also cause serious health issues down the road. Many who live in Florida have opted to get a motorized retractable awning for their outdoor patio or lanai. A motorized roof will give you instant access to shade and protection from the hot sun.

A Florida home with an enclosed lanai showcases 3 matching retractable awnings to provide maximum coverage for the homeowners.

Protection from the Sun

One of the most prominent and popular reasons people choose to install a retracting solar roof is it offers a barrier between you and harmful UV rays. The canvas awning blocks 97% of the sun’s rays, keeping you, your family, pets, and guests out of the hot sun. 

Additional Useable Space

When you live in Florida, you want to enjoy the gorgeous weather any chance you have. By adding a motorized retractable awning to your home, you will gain another space usable for relaxing and entertaining.

Save on Energy Costs

Since the retracting awning blocks out the sun, certain parts of your home will benefit from the shade. A motorized shade roof will lower your energy costs, saving you money.

Increased Property Value

Your curb appeal will instantly improve, and future potential homeowners will appreciate the addition of an outdoor space that is used pretty much year-round. Essentially, with a retractable awning, you will add another room to your Florida home that buyers will love.

Patio Furniture is Protected

A motorized retracting roof will keep your patio furniture, cushions, and decor from fading. The sun can cause premature fading of curtains, carpet, and other furnishings if preventative care to protect these items is not taken.

Simple to Operate

When you are ready for your patio or deck to have shade, all you need to do is push a button, and the fabric roof will roll out from its beautiful casing, giving you instant shade from the hot sun and protection from the elements.

Prevent Water Damage

A motorized retractable awning provides a barrier from rain. You will have dry furniture to sit on, will see less water damage to your deck, and anything metal will be protected from rust.

Comfortable Space to Relax

Relax and enjoy the beautiful Florida weather under the comfort of a retractable motorized awning. These motorized fabric roofs will provide you hours of entertainment without the annoying sun or wet weather ruining your time and chasing your indoors.

Easy to Maintain

The fabric of the retractable awning is quite simple to clean and maintain. Follow these easy steps to keep your material looking new and free from holes. Gently remove any debris or sticks collected on top of the structure. Use a mild soap like Dawn or Ajax to clean dirt and stains. Finally, use a garden hose or a bucket of clean water to rinse. Never use a power washer as it could cause damage.

More Family Time

We can all agree that more time with family is beneficial. Why not enjoy your pool or lanai under the shade of a retractable motorized awning? Your outdoor space will be more inviting while blocking the sun and rain.
