[https://www.ewfblinds.com.au/awnings Awnings] have long been an excellent way to protect your homes from sun damage and provide a safe space for you to entertain guests outdoors without fear of harmful UV rays. However, with a range of designs and styles on the market to choose from, it can be difficult to know which option is perfect for your home.

Thankfully, in this article we outline the difference between the two most popular choices – retractable awnings and fixed awnings – so you can make an educated decision. Whether you’re looking for protection or privacy, you’ve come to the right place.

Retractable Awnings

One of the most popular options on the market, [http://www.retractableawningsonline.com.au/ retractable awnings] are able to open and retract as you need them, allowing them to cover either your window, your al fresco area, or nothing at all.

Most people choose this style thanks to their flexibility, ensuring you can change the position with the season, the occasion, and even the time of day! For example, if it is a mild autumn day, you may find you’re not in need of any form of coverage, or if it’s a sunny summer afternoon, you may want a shady place to entertain outdoors and extend your retractable awnings accordingly!

Made from a durable fabric, homeowners can generally choose between acrylic, canvas or mesh, depending on their needs. There are also options to consider when it comes to opening and closing your retractable awnings. A crank is ideal for those sticking to a budget, and allows you to open and close them with the twist of a handle. Motorisation, on the other hand, allows users to push a button and easily set their awnings to the exact position that they’re looking for.

Fixed Awnings

Unlike their retractable counterparts, fixed awnings are designed to be installed exactly where it’s needed, ensuring the homeowner gets the bulk of the coverage in one place. These are the perfect choice for those who want their awnings to become part of the home itself.

Frequently used by businesses as they can be used to incorporate signage, such as the name and contact details of the establishment, fixed awnings have recently become popular in the home too – offering an affordable option for those sticking to a tight budget. However, rather than covering an al fresco area, they are primarily used for shading windows, increasing privacy and blocking out the sun and glare. Depending on your personal needs, you can choose a blockout style, which stops light from penetrating into your home; or a more translucent option, which simply filters the light to a more comfortable level of natural light.

When choosing fixed awnings, it’s important that you look for a fabric and a frame that can stand up to the elements, as they can’t be retracted during poor weather conditions. Check for a fabric that is UV and mould resistant, to ensure they look beautiful for years to come.

As you can see, there isn’t necessarily a ‘best option’ when it comes to [https://www.ewfblinds.com.au/retractable-awnings retractable awnings] and fixed awnings. It all comes down to which style will best suit your needs, your home and complement your lifestyle. If you’re still confused or you have more questions which you’d like to address, it’s a good idea to get in touch with your local window furnishing experts. They will be able to walk you through the process – considering your façade, climate and budget –helping you decide on the perfect fit.
