Are you considering installing retractable awnings on your home or business? If yes, you should know a thing or two about how retractable awnings work. Read now to learn all about the functionality of retractable awnings.
How Retractable Awnings Are Manufactured And Assembled
When retractable awnings are made, sun-resistant awning fabric is used and wound onto a roller beam that is connected to motorize arm mechanisms. These arm mechanisms are mounted with bolts to your building structure on a header rail.
Retractable awnings are easily unfurled with a wall mount or remote control switch. This activation will engage the motor and move the arms to extend the awning to its full length or its mid-point extension. The choice is yours.
As for retracting, you would use the same activation switch to roll-up the shade and contract the arms up into its header board.
The great thing about retractable awnings is their convenience. They will not only provide shade but can help control the level of sun that shines on your home, business or even your deck.
When choosing retractable awnings you will need to decide whether a manual or motorized will work best for your lifestyle. If you plan on retracting your awning everyday, a motorized awning will work best. Motorized awnings are especially useful for large, heavy, laborious awnings. Its great for both heavy wind and rain storms because you can use a remote control to retract while remaining indoors.
If you will rarely retract your awning, a manual one will be suitable.
