Frequently Asked Questions About Retractable Awnings
1. What are the benefits of a retractable awning?
Retractable awnings provide flexible shade, reducing heat and glare while protecting your outdoor space and furniture from the elements. They can also help lower indoor temperatures, improving energy efficiency.
2. Are retractable awnings waterproof?
Most of our awnings are water-resistant and can withstand light rain. However, they are not designed for heavy downpours or extreme weather conditions. We recommend retracting your awning during storms or strong winds to extend its lifespan.
3. Can I install a retractable awning myself?
Yes, many of our awnings are designed for DIY installation and come with clear instructions. However, for larger or motorised models, professional installation may be advisable.
4. How do I clean and maintain my awning?
Regularly brush off dirt and debris and clean the fabric with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, and ensure the awning is completely dry before retracting it to prevent mould or mildew buildup.
5. What sizes are available?
We offer a variety of sizes to suit different outdoor areas. Check the product specifications for exact measurements or contact our team for help in choosing the right size.
6. Do you offer motorised awnings?
Yes! We have both manual and motorised retractable awnings, with remote-controlled options for added convenience.
7. What warranty do your awnings come with?
Our retractable awnings come with a manufacturer’s warranty for peace of mind. Warranty details vary by product—please check individual listings or contact us for more information.
8. How do I choose the right awning for my home?
Consider the size of your outdoor space, preferred operation (manual or motorised), fabric colour, and weather resistance. If you need assistance, our friendly team is happy to help!
