FAQs

Retractable Awnings FAQ's

How does a retractable awning work?

Retractable awnings are equipped with a manual or motorized mechanism that allows them to extend and retract. Manual awnings are operated by a hand-crank, while motorized ones use an electric motor controlled by a switch or remote. Some advanced models even come with sensors that automatically retract the awning based on weather conditions.

Are retractable awnings waterproof?

Most retractable awnings are water-resistant but not completely waterproof. They can handle light rain showers without any issues. However, during heavy rainfall, some water might seep through the fabric seams or collect on the surface. It’s essential to retract the awning during heavy rain to prevent any potential damage.

Can retractable awnings withstand strong winds?

Most retractable awnings are designed to withstand moderate winds, typically up to around 20-25 mph (32-40 km/h). However, it’s essential to retract the awning during windy conditions or storms to prevent damage. Some modern retractable awnings come with wind sensors that automatically retract the awning when strong winds are detected.

Do retractable awnings require maintenance?

Yes, regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your retractable awning. Keep the awning clean, lubricate moving parts if necessary, and inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. Additionally, retract the awning during harsh weather conditions to prevent unnecessary strain on the structure.

Can I use a retractable awning in all seasons?

Retractable awnings are suitable for use in spring, summer, and early fall when weather conditions are milder. However, in regions with harsh winters or heavy snowfall, it is advisable to retract the awning and store it properly during the winter months to protect it from damage.

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.
