Do you plan on improving your home or place of business with a set of window awnings? It is an excellent way of improving the aesthetics of your property and improves curbside appeal. You have got to wonder though – what do you need to know about choosing the right one? The selection process can get complicated with so many options available on the market.

 

Now fixed outdoor awnings are without a doubt one of the most common doors and window treatments, but it is not the only option available. Today, you will see modern alternatives like folding arm awnings and even motorised ones. How do these compare with fixed window awnings in Sydney?

 

Folding arm awnings

One good alternative for window awnings comes in the form of retractable variants known as folding arm awnings. As the name implies, you can fold these awnings away as needed. Hence these awnings can potentially last longer as retractable awnings need not remain exposed to the harsh elements when not in use.

 

Of course, the retracting function does come at a cost, and folding arm awnings are relatively more expensive than a fixed awning. Retractable awnings also require frequent cleaning and maintenance if they are to serve you well for many years to come. Moreover, homeowners will have to make sure that they retract the awnings in inclement weather or risk damaging the awnings as they are not as sturdy as their fixed counterparts when exposed to high winds.

 

Motorised Awnings

Do not mind paying a bit more for added convenience? If so, then you might want to consider getting a set of motorised outdoor window awnings. These outdoor shelters cost even more than a folding arm awning not to mention maintenance cost. Still, most people would agree that these awnings are worth the trouble as it will let you retract or extend the awning without having to walk up to it.

 

Choosing the right set of window awnings ultimately boils down to your needs and personal preferences. The important thing is that you are well aware of your options along with the advantages and downsides of selecting a particular type of window awning.

You had great options for my windows, some were straight forward however others were trickier (openings not centred, taps in the way etc). This is my second home I have put shutters in, wouldn't settle for anything else OR any other company!
