Patio Awning FAQs
Patio awnings do offer protection from harmful UV rays, but the amount of protection varies due to reflection of UV by surfaces surrounding the patio and awning. Health professionals recommend using sunscreen for skin protection even when in the shade.
Retractable patio awnings are not designed to be deployed in windy conditions. Light breezes are generally not a problem, but awnings should be retracted if wind becomes more significant. Awnings should always be retracted when not in use.
No special maintenance is required for winter storage. Awning fabric should be clean and dry before retracting for the last time of the season. Models with a full cassette housing offer added protection from the elements, bird droppings, and animals for the rolled fabric.
Our motorized awnings feature Somfy motors and radio controls. With the Somfy Switch gateway and control app, you can integrate with your voice control device, mobile phone or table, and smart-home control systems.
