4 Unique Ways a Retractable Awning can be Used

As a homeowner, you already know the many benefits that our shade products can provide. However, what you may not know is that there are a number of other purposes and ways a retractable awning can be used. Learn about 4 new ways you can incorporate our awnings and canopies into your daily life:

  • Solariums – A retractable sunshade can be used above your solarium to keep out the heat since they can get incredibly hot during warm weather months. Therefore, the best way to create a comfortable space is to minimize sunshine in the room in the first place. Shading on top of the glass is much more effective than installing blinds under the glass. With blinds, the heat has already passed through the glass and now it’s trapped between the blinds and the glass. This can cause premature failure to the seal between the panes of glass in your solarium roof.
  • Shops and Restaurants – Awnings can be used to help promote your company. Installation can be done over boutiques and restaurants to draw the attention of customers and add dimension and style to your brand. Not only do retractable awnings enhance your location’s aesthetic appeal, but they can also be used as a form of print advertisement if you choose to apply your company’s logo.
  • Service Vehicles – Retractable awnings have become an extremely valuable feature for many types of service vehicles including food and delivery trucks. These shade products allow food truck operators to create a cool and dry ordering experience for patrons, while also providing the necessary marketing medium to attract customers.
  • A Carport – We have all had the unpleasant experience of stepping into a vehicle after it has been sitting in direct sunlight for hours. Not only is this extremely uncomfortable, but the heat can cause serious damage to your vehicle over time. If you’re without a built-in garage, use a retractable awning to add to the value of your property and shelter your car from the hot sun.
