When you go looking for design inspiration for your deck or patio, often what you find is beautiful but completely unpractical for the area that you live in. Do all designers live in the sunny state of California? Are you really going to go for white cushions when we have yellow pollen floating around constantly? What about some shade? We thought you might appreciate some tips on decorating your patio or deck that are useful for people who live right here in the Upstate.
Spring has arrived, and summer is right around the corner. It’s time to think about that unused outdoor space. The place to start when turning your patio or deck into an outdoor oasis is with an awning or patio cover. Both options are excellent shade solutions that allow you to take full advantage of your outdoor living areas.
You’ve decided to transform your home with new awnings. Now comes the hard part, deciding which awning is right for your home and your lifestyle. Should you go with a metal awning or would a fabric awning better suit your needs? Fortunately, we have the expertise to help you make your decision.
Retractable, patio, door, and window awnings provide shade, UV protection, and can reduce your energy costs. Even better, awnings transform your outdoor living spaces into cool, comfortable areas where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the great outdoors.
It’s one of the top questions we get from our customers. Energy costs are continuing to rise with retail and residential electricity rates rising about 15% across the nation over the last 10 years. Energy savings translate directly into dollars savings so it’s understandable that people want to know if an investment in awnings is going to help pay for itself.
