Installation in a Few Easy Steps The general installation process for both traditional retractable awnings and drop screens is pretty simple: attach the correct number of mounting brackets using the appropriate fixing and insert the torsion (square) bar. The simplicity of installing awnings is what makes them ideal for do-it-yourself weekend projects. The exact installation steps, naturally, vary depending on the awning being installed (so always read the manufacturers specific instructions!), but these are the general processes. For a drop screen:1. Assemble the screen itself, putting together the roller (called the headerbox), similar to an old-fashioned shade.2. Install the mounting brackets at the top and around the door frame or the beam of the gazebo or porch.3. Snap in the headerbox, making sure that the bottom rail of the screen is toward the inside of the room.4. If there are vertical side guides, measure and cut them according to the height of the opening, and then screw them in place and snap them in position with the headerbox. If there are guide wires, screw the bottom brackets into place, and attach the wires to the cassette. Be sure everything is level and plumb.
Window Awnings are available in traditional and contemporary styles. Traditional style window awnings have sides that will give you more sun protections than awnings without sides. Awnings with sides are especially needed for East and West facing windows. Spear Window Awnings are made with wrought iron frames with spear finials. Spear Awnings look great on adobe and more modern homes. Drop arm Awnings for windows roll up on a roller tube and can be motorized. Drop Arm Awnings with motors are convenient for second story windows so they can be retracted easily from indoors. Porch Awnings around the perimeter of your porch adds privacy and protection. Porch Awnings can keep your porch cool will protecting it from rain and the sun. You can use Window Awnings around a porch or Canvas Porch Roller Curtains which will can roll up and down with a simple rope and pulley system. Porch Valances are also a popular decorative addition to porches. These Canvas Valances are for decorative purposes but do not have much sun protection because they are a small accent to a porch. They are 12" - 14" tall and wrap around a porch to add color and will soften the hard lines of a porch. They are especially popular on coastal homes on the East coast.
Seasonal Storage Means Keep It Closed Most awning frame damage comes from some kind of stress, either high winds or gusts which twist the frame or weight from heavy rain, snow, even lots and lots of leaves, which can distend the fabric and bend the frame. It is not necessary to take down a retractable awning to protect it in winter. Just close it. Many retractable awnings have an optional hood, a shield which covers the awning when it is retracted and offers additional protection for the fabric. In winter, it can also be helpful to remove the valance, the strip of fabric which hangs at the front of the awning. What Makes the Difference Retractable awnings are much easier to maintain than fixed awnings or canopies for two major reasons: the fact that the awning retracts and the materials that make it.
Other retractable awning features impact how well the awning wears, and, therefore, how easy it is to maintain: Electro-statically powder-coated aluminum frames to resist corrosion and chipping Sealed and self-lubricating retractable awning motors Weather-sealed wind, motion, rain, and sun sensors and other accessories Stainless-steel mounting hardware to prevent staining or bleeding from rust Kevlar® brand straps in the arms, not steel cables which will rust TÜV product approved and Eurolab certified frames These components make the average lifetime of a retractable awning 12-15 years for fabric and 25 years for the frame - almost five times longer than most fixed awnings or canopies, and without the need to professional cleaning or seasonal storage problems. With retractable awnings, the keyword for maintenance is effortless.
