Autumn in the Black Hills area is a glorious season, rich in vibrant, cool air. It’s also a time to take special attention to your home’s appearance, and one of the most effective ways to do so is to invest in awnings. Today, our team at The Blind Guy discusses the benefits of retractable awnings, introduces one of our favorite choices, and shares why adding automation offers even more perks.

When you invest in any home improvement product, understanding its benefits is essential in order to justify the purchase. Read on to learn of the many benefits of retractable awnings.

Retractable awnings are an excellent source of shade. They will protect your home from damaging UV Rays. You can have peace of mind knowing that the sun will not damage your furniture, flooring, and décor.

We offer our retractable awnings in a rich assortment of colors, patterns, and styles. You can delve in with stripes, patterns, textures, and more to create an exciting place for guests and family members.

Adding awnings to your home is almost like adding on an addition. Awnings naturally create a usable outdoor living space by providing shade and a cozy, quaint atmosphere for entertaining guests and family.

So why choose Sunesta® Awnings? Let’s explore their innovative features.

• Smart Lights are dimmable LEDs that are built right into the retractable awning. They instantly create a sophisticated ambiance and mood that will impress your guests.
• Hoods & Cases are cassettes that store your awning when it’s retracted. The cassettes will protect the fabric with a foolproof weather seal.
• Smart Drop is a drop-down valance that provides additional protection from sun, wind, and rain.
• Smart Tilt is an optional feature that offers various tilt control positions.
• Sensors can be combined with the motor to create a fully retractable awning. The sensors respond to wind, rain, and sun.

Outdoor spaces are designed for sublime relaxation, so why not enhance the experience by adding motorization to your awnings near Spearfish, SD? By adding motorization, you’re able to automatically adjust your awning’s angle without needing to manually adjust the frame.

Not only do motorized awnings make it easy to block unwanted light and UV rays, but they also increase privacy. No matter if you have mobility issues or simply want an easier way to open and close your exterior awning, adding motorization is a smart idea.
