Summer is on its way and now’s a good time to consider an outdoor patio shade products, like a retractable fabric awning to keep your home out of the sun’s harmful rays and reduce fading to carpets and upholstery. Awnings reduce the amount of sun penetrating your windows, and can actually help to reduce energy costs! In fact, a study by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers concluded that an awning reduces heat gain by 55-65% during the warmest part of the day.
Awnings and patio covers not only save money for home owners but they can also be good for the environment. How you may ask? Because using an awning contributes to a reduction in a household’s demand for energy which then directly reduces the impact of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions due to excessive energy use.
The benefits of Sunstter awnings go on and on! Awnings can also be helpful in the winter as well! The ability to retract the awnings in the winter (as opposed to fixed roof structures) allows the warmth of the sun to penetrate back through your windows and glass doors, helping to heat the house and once again reduce heating costs and energy usage.
