MOTORIZED RETRACTABLE AWNINGS

For some whose homes are positioned in such a way that afternoon sunlight shines through windows, hot temperatures tend to be a big problem. Sunlight can also damage upholstered furniture if the pieces are exposed to sunlight for long period during the day. Even warding off morning sunlight can pose a bit of a dilemma as it can make a breakfast nook uncomfortably warm.

A lot would want to block sunlight but still keep a view of the outside available. How can one achieve this? Simple. Motorized retractable awnings can easily be set up if you need them and closed when you don’t and provides a practical way to block the sun and still see the great outdoors.

Instead of vertical supports, motorized awnings have “arms” that retract. These arms, that closely resemble how human arms function, can be operated by a cable and electric motor that are cleverly concealed in the awning. The awning can be opened and closed with the use of switch that is mounted on a wall. The arms can fold up unnoticeably on the wall upon closing the awning. The motorized model of Sunsetter retractable awnings also comes with a remote control that would enable you to open the awning wherever you are. Motorized retractable awnings are truly one of the greatest innovations that combine functionality, beauty and convenience.

There are some motorized retractable awnings that come with automatic sensors that have the ability to gauge the brightness of the sun that will accordingly open or close the shades. The sunlight level is adjusted on the control panel placed in a cabinet in the kitchen. There are also controls available that can be bought to gauge rain and even wind.

Manual awnings are inexpensive compared to an automatic or motorized retractable awning – it can cost a couple of thousand dollars. However, in the long run, if you choose the motorized model, you will be able to enjoy the priceless benefits of being protected from harmful UV rays and lower electric bills while keeping a view of your garden.
