Motorized Awning Windows

Porch Owners, Start Up Your Motors!

Motorized awning windows are a perfect solution for comfortable backyard patios at anytime of the day. They add elegance to your backyard lifestyle as well as protection from any harmful UV rays from the sun. Freestanding canopies are being replaced by retractable awnings as they offer you a beautiful uninterrupted view and allow you to choose how much sunlight you want at any given time of the day. Unlike a conventional patio cover, the motorized awnings are lower in cost and easily installed. Cleaning the shutters are simple, taking less time away from your family. They easily add value to your home due to their durability. The tough durable fabric used to make the awning is tested to stand all of natures elements and the aluminum frame adds extra strength during a storm.

There are several types of Motorized Awning Windows that come in a variety of sizes and colors to fit any personal style and need. The motor that is on the inside of the roller bar is what operates the awning. This allows for easy and convenient operation. Let's compare two Motorized Awning Windows to get an idea of what you are paying for. First is the Sunsetter Pro patio Shade Motorized Awning. The cost is about $2,400.00. It is remote control operated with a built in weather breaker. It can block up to 99.9 UVA rays and lower the temperature by 20 degrees under the cover. The laminated fabric is 5 layers deep giving you a durable 100% weather resistant shade. It is also mold and mildew resistant and is easily cleaned using water. In the unlikely event of a power outage, it is equipped with manual override. The only downfall of the Sunsetter is that it acts on electricity. If you do not have an outdoor outlet, you do need to have one installed which will add to the cost.  In the same price point is the Beauty Mark Maui. The cost is about $2,200.00. This particular cover lowers energy costs by 35%. It comes with a 5 year warranty and will protect against fading of furniture and carpets. Stainless steel frames are rust resistant and durable. No matter the kind of construction, both products are easily installed.

 There are different kinds of treatments for Motorized Awning Windows. The basic treatments are cost effective, but the owner loses the option of choosing the drop down length for optimum shade. A customized treatment is better for many reasons if you are willing to pay a slightly higher price for the added decorative elegance. Also, they do have the potential to block more of the suns hot rays. There is no doubt that the money spent on your retractable awning will pay off in the long run. They lower energy costs, offer great shade during the hot summer months, and protect your investment.
