Types Of Retractable Awnings Available
Confused about what can be the best awning type for your place? Retractable awnings also come in a number of varieties depending upon the type of cassette. Cassette is the metal enclosure which the cover retracts to. It gives additional protection to the awning material and saves you money that goes into maintenance. You can choose from:
FULL CASSETTE
In these awnings, when the awning cover is retracted or pulled back, the fabric along with the awning arms sweeps inside the metal cassette completely. It protects the fabric and arms from weather when not in use.
SEMI CASSETTE
In these awnings, the fabric and awning arms are just partially covered by the metal cassette. It is between full cassette and open awning. It is a good choice for somewhat more sheltered areas.
MOTORIZED AWNINGS
These are easy to use as they have a motor attached to them which operates when connected to electricity. It gives you options to retract the awning either with a switch or remote control. These are mostly used for commercial purposes especially by big open-area restaurants.
OPEN
It doesn’t have any metal cassette enclosure to protect the fabric when not in use. It is a good option for sheltered areas or areas where weather isn’t that harsh.
MANUAL
You can retract the cover manually by hand. For this purpose, there are winding handles attached to the metal bar of the awnings. You wind them and the cover gets retracted to the cassette.
Material Options
You can have retractable awnings in a variety of materials. Each of these has its own durability, weather resistance ability and color specifications. To make it easy for you to choose, we have given an overview of these materials. We deal in;
VINYL COATED POLYESTER
This composite of vinyl and polyester is really light-weighted and flexible. These features make it a good choice for retractable awnings. This is not only weatherproof but also UV and mildew resistant. However, it has color limitations. You can’t have it in all colors.
AVERY DENNISON
This is also polyester and vinyl composite but instead of being coated, vinyl is laminated on the both sides of the polyester. It gives it some extra strength. Moreover, it is antifungal and UV resistant too. This material is highly used for commercial applications especially for outdoor umbrellas.
ACRYLIC COATED POLYESTER
This composite of acrylics and polyesters is highly durable and breathable. It is weather resistant but not 100% waterproof. However, it’s considered a good choice for homes located in humid areas.
SOLUTION-DYED ACRYLICS
It is made of fabric dyed with acrylic pigments that give it some added strength and strong colors which don’t fade easily. It is considered a good choice for outdoor awnings because of the strength of the fabric to withstand all types of extreme weathers.
