At Modern Curtain Designs in Adelaide, our professionals will help you select the correct awning for what you hope to achieve. If you are looking for sun protection for your deck or patio, then a retractable awning will meet your needs. Whether you are trying to create another room or you would like protection from any type of weather, the specialists will recommend a fixed frame awning that will keep the rain and cold weather away. The difference between these two types of awnings is in their use. A retractable awning provides “shade on demand.” While this type of awning costs more at installation, there is little to no maintenance that needs to be done on a yearly basis. However, a retractable awning cannot be used in windy or wet weather and needs to be retracted. A fixed frame awning needs to be removed in the colder months. These awnings are always there but they can be configured to give you additional space for hosting parties or a relaxing afternoon in the great outdoors.
Most of our customers prefer the motorized version of the retractable awning when it fits their needs. It will come down and go back up with the flip of a switch. Or, if you are tech savvy, you can do it from your Smartphone with a simple application. This way, no more tired muscles or bad backs, the switch does the work.
Your new awning from Modern Curtain Design should last a lifetime. The only enemies that it has are direct sunlight, tree sap and smoke from barbeques. The fabric may fade over time but it should have yearly washing and a layer of water-proofing reapplied to help the fabric last. Now you are able to use that deck whenever you wish without the fear of sunburn or rain.
