Expand your outdoor living spaces with quality retractable awnings from AWNINGSdirect and discover the reason that custom manufactured retractable awnings are one of the fastest growing home improvements in the US. Long popular in Europe, Japan and Australia, retractable awnings have been a home improvement mainstay in those countries for over 30 years.

Beautiful, energy efficient retractable awnings have been around for more than 80 years, but now with modern technology, engineering and fabrics, Americans are now recognizing the benefits of these wonderful home additions on patios and decks nationwide.

AWNINGSdirect awnings are custom manufactured and fabricated from T-10 aircraft gauge aluminum that are then electro-statically powder coated – a finish that is five times more durable than paint.  The frame, which has a lifetime warranty, can be operated manually or by remote control. Both the motor and the frame have been tested to 50,000 openings and closings. The durable mounting hardware is solid stainless steel.

They utilize only the finest outdoor fabrics available. They are made especially for quality awnings by Sunbrella. Sunbrella fabrics are used on boats, cruise liners, upscale outdoor furniture and more.  Sunbrella is considered to be the finest outdoor fabric in the world. The solution dyed acrylic fabric is extremely strong and weather resistant.

Most acrylic outdoor fabric is woven and then dyed and the dye only penetrates the surface. When the fabric is exposed to the relentless heat and ultra violet rays of the sun for any length of time, the color fades and gets a washed out look. But solution dyed acrylic is run through the dye in individual strands before weaving the stripes or color into the fabric. This treatment is much more durable and resistant to sun fading since the color is distributed throughout all the layers of the fabric. When the sun attempts to fade the top layer of color there are many more layers directly underneath, keeping the colors vivid for years to come.

The fabric is also coated with Panathol, which offers UV protection and waterproofing. It also seals the fabric against stains and the elements. Maintaining the fabric is simple and easy; simply spray it ff with a garden hose. It is guaranteed not to fade and is mildew resistant. Sunbrella is considered to be the ultimate outdoor fabric and has a warranty longer than most new cars – 5 full years.
