If you’re sat out in the sun on a hot summer’s day, maybe reading the newspaper or relaxing with friends, you might be thankful for a little shade. We all know the dangers of too much sun and while a large umbrella might seem the answer, installing an awning is a lot better.
You don’t have to spend time trying to put it up or dusting off the dirt when it has spent all winter in the shed. All you need do is press a button, and the awning slides out automatically, covering your patio in the shade and making everything a lot more comfortable.
What is a Retractable Awning?
We’ installed lots of awnings in London and Essex, all with great designs that add a touch of class to any garden. Generally, the fabric of a patio awning is similar to a canvas sheet that can be pulled out over a space to protect you from the sun or rain. It means you can sit in comfort and enjoy the day, whatever the weather, keeping yourself, friends and family protected.
Awnings aren’t just for homes and garden patios. Plenty of restaurants and cafes in London and Essex use them as do many shops and businesses. You can have an awning anywhere people are likely to sit and relax.
If you like sitting outside but don’t want to be at risk from the sun, an awning is a perfect choice, protecting you from those harmful UV rays.
It might be perfectly warm, and you really want some fresh air as you take your morning breakfast, but there’s drizzle around, and you don’t want to get wet. Again, the humble awning solves this problem without a fuss.
Add Style and London Chic to Your Home
If you want to add style and London chic to your property, then awnings come in a variety of colours and design which can match your garden and your personality.
On sweltering hot days, if you have air conditioning all well and good but an awning can also help keep things a little cooler and more manageable for sun-facing rooms.
If you have guests coming for a party, an awning is a great way to create extra space and add an extra dimension to the festivities. Not only that, it’s the kind of thing that impresses friends and family alike.
They are straightforward to maintain, and you can even get ones nowadays that are self-cleaning, which means you hardly have to do anything at all.
What’s more, you can extend your awning by variable amounts to cope with different conditions or needs.
In short, it’s the perfect addition to any garden, patio or even balcony. Awnings are easy to use and maintain, so you practically don’t have to worry about them at all. At Posner’s, we can help you find just the right product for your London or Essex home so that, whether the sun shines or the rain falls, you have a quiet place to relax and be yourself.
