Advantages of an awning:

Choosing an awning means you won't have to worry about the effects of the sun. If the weather gets a little too hot, your awning will shade and protect you. And while you enjoy the outdoors, your indoor area will be shaded too, preventing your fabrics and furnishings from fading.

Adding an awning to your home creates extra living space without the need for planning permission or disruptive building work. Space to let the kids spread out their toys and to relax after a hard day at work. Plus it's the perfect place to enjoy garden.

Materials used in awnings:

Awnings should be manufactured from the most durable components combined with advanced technology and beautiful fabrics. Awnings are available in a range of colours and fabrics to enhance your home and garden. Modern and stylish, bright and bold, plain or prints - whatever your taste or preference, you will be able to complement your surroundings.

As awnings are placed outdoors, they have to be able to endure the most extreme weather conditions. Fabrics and components need to be able to resist fading and temperature fluctuations.

Fabrics need to be:

	Teflon coated, so that they won't weaken when exposed to the natural elements.
	Coated with an anti-mildew treatment, to help prevent unsightly markings or spots.
	Strain resistant, to ensure that they won't shrink or twist.
	UV-stabilised to resist fading.

The structure of the awning will most likely be made of a heavy-duty aluminium that will not bend, twixt or buckle during operation. Besides that, the whole structure has to be hung upon stainless steel brackets, which are powder, coated to make them highly resistant to cracking, chipping and peeling.

To ensure easy opening and closing of your awning, it should come with a remote control, which you can use outdoors as well as indoors.

If you choose an awning with innovative sun and wind sensors, they'll think for themselves, automatically extending as the sun comes out and then closing if the wind blows too strongly. This will ensure optimal safety and best use of your awning.
