The Benefits of a Retractable Awning

What are the benefits of a retractable awning?  They provide instant shade with just the push of a button, outdoor tempertatures can be reduced up to 30 degrees.  They provide outdoor living space. It will expand your living and entertaining space, and here in Texas with the sweltering heat that is a definite plus. It will protect your carpet, artwork and furnishings from damaging UV rays.  You can savor the shade in the summer and benefit from the sun in the winter.  You will save money on your electric bills by reducing heat gain.  Retractable awnings can reduce temperatures inside your home up to 15 degrees and save you up to 60% on your cooling cost.
Retractable awnings may be automated with Somfy sun sensors to automatically extend at sun up and automatically retract about a half hour after sundown or with motion sensors to automatically retract if the winds were to pick up.  In a nut shell, retractable awnings are a win-win for the homeowner.
