What are Patio Awnings?

Benefits of Using Awnings
Having seen first-hand how patio awnings can transform outdoor spaces, we can confirm the numerous benefits of using awnings.
- Sun Protection: Awnings provide shade, helping to block harmful UV rays from the sun. This protection not only keeps you and your family safe from sunburn but also helps to prevent furniture, carpets, and other items from fading due to prolonged sun exposure.
- Energy Efficiency: By shading windows and doors, awnings can reduce the amount of heat that enters your home or building, especially during hot summer months. This can lead to lower cooling costs as your air conditioning system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors.
- Temperature Regulation: Awnings help to create a more comfortable outdoor living space by reducing the temperature on patios, decks, and other areas exposed to direct sunlight. This makes it more enjoyable to spend time outdoors even on hot days.
- Enhanced Kerb Appeal: Awnings come in a variety of styles, colours, and patterns, allowing you to enhance the appearance of your home or business. They can add character and charm while also improving the overall aesthetic appeal of the property.
- Weather Protection: Awnings offer protection from light rain showers, allowing you to continue enjoying outdoor activities without getting wet. They can also provide shelter from the wind, creating a more comfortable outdoor environment.
Types of Patio Awnings
Let’s talk about the different Types of Patio Awnings available. We’ll cover fixed awnings, retractable awnings, roll-up awnings, and fabric awnings. Each type offers unique features and benefits to suit various outdoor spaces.
Fixed Canopies
As experts in residential and commercial awning solutions, Access Awnings offers a diverse selection of fixed awnings for your outdoor space. Fixed awnings are popular for those seeking a more permanent shading solution. These awnings are securely attached to the exterior wall of a building, providing consistent coverage and protection from the elements.
Fixed awnings come in various materials, sizes, and designs to suit different aesthetic preferences and functional needs. They are durable and low maintenance, making them a practical addition to any patio or outdoor area. Whether you want to create a cosy outdoor seating area or protect your windows from harsh sunlight, fixed awnings are a versatile and stylish option for enhancing your outdoor space.
Maintenance Tips and Tricks
With a wide range of awnings and shading systems from leading German manufacturers like Markilux, it is crucial to maintain your patio awning in top condition for long-lasting enjoyment and functionality. Here are some maintenance tips and techniques to keep your patio awning looking great and working smoothly.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your patio awnings regularly to prevent dirt, dust, and debris from accumulating. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove surface dirt.
- Mild Soap Solution: For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and water to clean the fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the fabric.
- Rinsing: After cleaning with soap, rinse the fabric thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue.
- Allow to Dry Completely: Always allow the awning fabric to dry completely before retracting it. Moisture trapped in the fabric can lead to mould or mildew growth.
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the awning fabric, frame, and mechanism for any signs of damage, such as tears, fraying, or rust. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: If your awning has moving parts or a retractable mechanism, lubricate them regularly with a silicone-based lubricant to keep them operating smoothly.
- Trim Nearby Foliage: Trim back any nearby trees or bushes to prevent branches from scraping against the awning fabric or causing damage to the frame.

Roll-up awnings come in various materials, colours, and sizes to suit different patio styles and preferences.
