The Florida sun can be relentless, but an awning offers protections that make your outdoor living spaces more comfortable. Yet many homeowners don't want an awning in place 24/7 since it can impede a clear view of the beautiful sky. This is where a retractable awning comes in. Here are a few major benefits of adding one of these features to your deck or patio.

Reasons to Install a Retractable Awning

1. Increase the Functionality & Value of Your Home

A retractable awning lets you use your outdoor spaces any time of the day or night. It provides comprehensive cover from the heat or from an unexpected rain shower while keeping the space underneath noticeably more temperate.

When planning a party, barbecue, or just some downtime relaxing, you don't need to take the weather or temperature into account. Also, if you ever consider selling your home in the future, it can be an attractive feature to potential buyers.

2. Cool Your Home

Without the sun beating in, the air conditioner won't need to work as hard to keep the home cool. Not only will the home be more pleasant, but you'll also save money on utility costs and the repairs and maintenance needs that come with wear and tear on your AC. 

3. Protect From UV Rays

The sun's ultraviolet rays are the leading cause of skin cancer. A retractable awning provides a dependable barrier between the skin and the sun, reducing your exposure to UV radiation.

An awning also safeguards your household items, such as carpeting and furniture, from the fade-inducing effects of the sun's rays. Your upholstery, paint, and artwork will be better able to retain their color and remain vibrant for years to come.
