How to choose your awning?

Okay, the sun is out, now we need some shade

But what awning to choose ?

 

Awnings come in roughly 3 qualities

1. Hardware store quality

2. Economic range quality

3. Pemium high end quality

1.     What do we call the hardware store quality? (Leroy Merlin, Bricomart, Amazon, Bauhaus etc) These awnings come in standard colours with vinyl fabric. They are suitable for small areas. Colours will fade after 1 or 2 years. Vinyl fabric started as the only available awning fabric but is now considered to be outdated. Pro-shade will not maintain or install these types of awnings.

2.       Economic range awnings. These are the most popular awnings. Installed by professionals. These awnings come in a standard range of colours with acrylic fabric. They are suitable for all areas. Colours will not fade and have a lifespan of more than 8 years. These fabrics are often supplied by Dickson, Sunbrella or Sauleda.

3.       Premium high end awnings. These are high end awnings designed by the best engineers. Often manufactured in Germany. Pro-shade works amongst others with Weinor-Griesser and Caravita .  You will find these awnings at Villas, hospitality and office buildings. The most recent development  is that they use  high-tech polyester  composition fabrics.

 

 

Make sure you buy the right fabric

Awning fabrics are technical textiles. They are made of either acrylic or polyester fibre. Both materials have their qualities.. Acrylic is more colour intensive, polyester is said to have higher dimensional stability. The larger the awning, the more important its stability of form.

 

1^st rule of thumb; polyester for large awnings.  The wider the awning, te faster the fabric sags. Therefore wide awnings should be made of polyester or polyester compositions.

 

2^nd rule of thumb; Acrylic is the safer choice if the awning is going to be frequently used. This material has excellent light fastness. For this reason, acrylic is used for sun protection in hospitality, boats and cabriolet roofs on cars.

Aluminium pergolas

Why choose an aluminium pergola?

Aluminium is incredibly light and yet strong.  That is why it is an extremely suitable material for pergolas.  Aluminium is also easy to maintain and the colour can be adjusted to your wishes!  In addition, aluminium is recyclable, making it a more sustainable solution than other materials.  We are happy to explain the benefits of an aluminium patio roof in this blog post written by awning specialist Jos van Os from Marbella Spain

 1. Bioclimatic pergolas

Aluminium offers endless possibilities when it comes to colours and design.  This allows you to fully adjust the terrace covering to your taste and the appearance of your home.

Examples of super-strong aluminium pergolas  are endless. 

Different types of roofs that are all made of extra thick aluminium.  This allows them to be built up to a width of up to 7 meters and a depth of 4 meters.  With the addition of an aluminium gutter reinforcement it is even true that the complete roof can be supported by two uprights, an extra upright in the middle is then not necessary at all!

Aluminium pergolas can also easily be expanded with lighting, sun blinds and glass walls.  This allows you to enjoy the great outdoors all year round, protected from sun, rain and wind.  In this way we also come to the following benefit!

 2. Resistant to all weather conditions

 Although aluminium is very lightweight, it is a very strong material.  It is therefore resistant to severe weather conditions such as strong gusts of wind or heavy rain showers.  That way you don't have to worry about heavy storms and rain!  Let alone go outside to check whether the patio roof will make it ...

 3. Clean in an instant

Weather conditions can also cause your aluminium patio roof to get dirty.  Fortunately, you can clean it again in no time!  The only thing you need for this is: mild detergent, lukewarm water, a soft sponge and a dry cloth.

 Within no time you can enjoy your cosy place in the garden again!
