There are many types of awnings available, but their specific features can be very different. This is why it’s important to look at how the awning works so that you can buy one in confidence, knowing it will suit your home perfectly.
Cassette awnings are a specific type of awning that make use of a built in cover which protects the folding arms from harsh weather. This can be great for homes that have very open gardens. However, cassette awnings are often heavier and bulkier than other awning models, so they may not be suited to a smaller garden that is already sheltered in some way from the weather.
Different awnings often use different arm technology. It may sound fancy, but the fibres used in the arms of the awning can make a big difference on how the awning operates, its durability as well as its weight. Awning arms can sometimes include power transference technologies. These make the awning easier to use, which is often important for awning users.
