The awning will provide the shade on hot days

« Back to blog

We wait for cafés every spring, and when there are already there, it's a sing we can fully enjoy them. However, without the awnings and the shade they provide, spending time in summer gardens would not be so pleasurable...

The awnings are currently more popular also in homes and apartments, thanks to the fact that they provide the shade. We don't need to use the inconvenient heavy garden umbrellas, which need a solid and stable base, so they don't flip over all the time, and they provide the shade only within a limited area. The awnings allow us to cover a greater space, and they are very easy to install. No wonder that they enjoy constant, and even increasing, interest.

The awning - only the pros

There are no cons when it comes to the awnings. When properly used, they will serve for a long time and satisfy the needs related to development of a comfortable sphere of shade over a terrace or a balcony.

The unfolded fabric will create a place, where you can easily sit even on a hot day. In summer, we really like spending time outdoors, but when a balcony or a terrace are in a very sunny place, it is simply impossible during a day because of a high temperature. The shade guaranteed by an awning allows to make the most of a beautiful weather. Furthermore, a shadowed balcony or terrace will automatically lower the indoor temperature.

The awnings in Knall

The customers who order awnings in the Knall webstore often ask about durability of the awnings - whether they can be damaged after one season, what the installation ways are - whether it will be easy to mount and operate, as well as those related to matching a particular awning to the interior design.

The awnings are a very durable product. The materials are acrylic fabrics, acrylic waterproof fabrics and PVC coated polyester fabrics, and the structure is made of a special aluminium alloy. So the material of the roller blind is resistant to sunlight or even light rain (you only need to remember to dry it thoroughly before rolling it up). During the season, you can regularly clean the fabric from dust, leaves, etc. or just wipe it with a brush on a long stick; after the season, you can take it off and wash with a sponge soaked in water and mild detergent. We dry the fabric and put it on again.

We can easily install the awning on our own, except those of a large surface area. We fix them to a building wall, from the bottom of a balcony or to a roof rafter. And it's worth remembering here to invest in an awning whose fabric is closed in a cassette. The cassette protects the fabric from soaking also when folded. An exception may be the installation under a balcony, where the fabric is relatively well shielded. Its operation is very easy - you roll up/unroll up the material using a special rod. If you install a larger awning, you should remember of an electric drive.

There's also no problem with matching the awning. In Knall, each product is tailored. In addition, our customers can choose the colours of the frames and the fabric so that they can easily match the awnings to their interior design.
