In the past, awnings were manufactured by a commercial
awnings company but were not rated by wind tolerance. However in today's modern
society, awnings or canopies in fact comes in two basic types, either motorized
or manually-operated models. The latter is actually operated by hand while the
former is powered by electricity. Either way, both types have their own
advantages.
For a start, these contraptions offer affordability and easy
maintenance not to mention the ease of adaptability to almost any deck or
patio. This is because the support arms can in fact be angled back against the
house itself or better yet, set vertically on the deck or floor of the patio.
At the same time, the arms provide the necessary extra support and stability
especially for owners who live in places that are very windyAside from the
power source, motorized awnings differ from the manually operated awnings as
they have no vertical supports but instead have retracting lateral arms thus
fashioning an area with an unobstructed shade.
In addition, these awnings are
basically operated by an electric motor that is in fact generally hidden inside
the roller bar of the awning. The arms themselves essentially open and close
the awning easily with just a touch of a switch mounted on a wall making
motorized awnings extremely convenient not to mention very classic, simple and
beautiful.
Retractable awnings
are now considerably very trendy with the modern household and building
particularly with the increasingly high energy costs. Most owners now prefer to
decrease or go without air conditioning and simply make use of awnings and
canopies.
For instance, awning manufacturers incorporated a gadget
called a wind sensor to allow the awning to automatically retract in certain
weather conditions. Some of today's awnings and canopies offer a wide variety
of accessories that not only improves versatility but also increases the
usefulness particularly for owners with decks and patios.
