With an ever-growing interest and popularity in outdoor living, Rolltec® awnings make the perfect addition to any home or business by creating a comfortable shaded area under the sun, allowing clients and their guests to maximize their time outdoors, safely. Aside from providing shelter from UV Rays, Rolltec® retractable awnings offer protection from rain and are an environmentally friendly way to reduce indoor heat gain and help lower cooling costs during the warmer months. A study conducted by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning has proven that an awning over a window can reduce the indoor temperature by as much as 12°C and heat gain by 55-65% for southern exposure and as much as 72-77% for western exposure. In addition to saving on air conditioning costs, an awning can help protect nearby furniture, carpets and drapes from colour fading due to UV rays.
