If you are looking to update your outdoor space in time for spring, awnings are a great option. A patio awning is attached to the back of your house above your doors to provide cover from the sun. Their retractable functionality means you can have them open or hidden when not in use, and when on display they are a stylish addition to your patio for you and your guests to enjoy. In this blog, we explore the benefits of awnings for patios.
A great pairing for bifold doors
If you have bifold or sliding doors in your property, you’ll understand how they help to effortlessly merge indoor and outdoor spaces. By adding an awning, you are further blending the two areas, creating an alfresco feel in a space you’ll be able to use all year round.
Year-round enjoyment
Unlike some outdoor solutions that are seasonal, awnings extend the usability of your outdoor space throughout the year. Whether it’s providing shade from the sun or shelter against light rain showers, awnings allow you to make the most of your patio no matter what the weather.
Energy efficient
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, awnings can contribute to energy efficiency. By providing shade and keeping the sun off your doors, they help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce the need for excessive air conditioning during hot summer days, especially for south-facing homes. This not only benefits the environment but also leads to potential cost savings on your energy bills.
Easy operation and maintenance
Awnings are designed with user convenience in mind. Choose from motorised options for effortless control or manual awnings for a more hands-on approach. Additionally, the high-quality materials ensure durability and easy maintenance, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without any hassle.
Boosting property appeal
Investing in awnings not only enhances your lifestyle but can also boost the appeal of your home and increase its value if you plan to sell. Potential buyers are likely to be attracted to the seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, which they can enjoy throughout the year, as well as the stylish aesthetic awnings bring to the home.
