Window and door awnings not only enhance the architectural beauty of your home, but also add to the protection from rain, sunshine or harsh weather. As we are aware that most windows are made of wood and being exposed to harsh conditions of the environment tend to deteriorate faster.
During the monsoon most of us keep the windows shut to avoid the rain getting inside, doing this, we not only block out ventilation and fresh air but also go through a cramped feeling which can add to our discomfort.
Metal window awnings for home keep the interiors cool during summer, and if you have some furniture in your porch or patio, then also you can install these awnings for keeping the furniture safe from sun, wind and rain.
Awnings are available in aluminum or outdoor fabrics. Though outdoor fabrics have a wider choice in colors and designs, you need to remember that these do require certain amount of maintenance.
On the other hand, aluminum awnings have limited options in colors and styles but tend to be sturdier and require less maintenance.
Retractable awnings allow the sun into your home during winters. These can work well in places which have extreme and longer winters. These awnings are also available with switches and motors for the convenience.
Many of these are available with wind and sun sensors. You can make a choice in accordance to your budget and requirement.
There is a wide range of styles available in window awnings, like the traditional ones with either open or closed sides, the double bar standard, the dome style, the quarter barrel, the waterfall and a lot more.
You need to make sure to have a look at the side panels, the retractable and motorized features and also the different other styles that blend with your home decor.
