Awning - a great helper in creating shadows

« Back to blog

In the last part of the blog, we wrote about pergolas that can create an additional shaded space in the garden. They can cover the area above the terrace and / or near the terrace, thus increasing the area on which we can rest during hot days or spend time with a larger group of friends. They can also stand anywhere in the garden and create a cozy place to read or just relax.

Today we are still talking about creating a shade in the terrace space. If a pergola can enlarge a shaded space next to the terrace, an awning will also work well over the terrace. May weekend, freshly behind us, certainly did not spoil us with the weather, but we hope for a lot of sun and warmth in the coming summer. It is worth thinking about something that will allow us to comfortably stay in the air, even at high temperatures. The awning will be perfect here.

Advantages of patio awnings
Terrace awnings are a very aesthetic and functional product used to create a shaded space above all above the terrace, but they can also be placed above the balcony or window. The more that the Knall online store offers awnings manufactured to individual dimensions. The size can therefore be easily adjusted to your needs.

The awning is mounted to the exterior wall of the house, the bottom of the balcony or the roof rafters. Suitable handles are selected for each method of assembly. The most complicated installation may be to the external wall, because it depends on the type of wall, its insulation, etc. The awning materials, in turn, are special acrylic, waterproof acrylic and PVC-coated polyester fabrics. Thanks to this, they maintain an aesthetic appearance for a long time. Since the entire structure is outside, it must be resistant to weather conditions, e.g. gusts of wind; the profiles used here are thicker and rust-resistant thanks to powder coating.

Aesthetics of patio awnings
The patio awning is fully visible when stretched. It should create a nice whole with the facade of the house / building. For this reason, the materials are designed in different color combinations. This allows you to buy a product that will aesthetically blend in with the colors of your home. After being rolled up, the material can hide in the cassette or we can choose an awning without a cassette, the choice depends primarily on the place of installation.

Special materials used in the production of awnings make them aesthetic for a long time, despite the impact of sunlight or light rain (a wet awning should be allowed to dry completely before being rolled up again). The stretched fabric of the awning not only gives shade, but also creates a cozy area where you can relax pleasantly. The undoubted advantage is that we decide for ourselves whether we need a shade at a given moment or not. If we want to sunbathe for a while, we hide the material - it is very simple and quick. And when we have had enough of the sun, we unfold the whole and create a shadow. A place to rest is ready. We can also hide under the awning during short and light rain, enjoying the view and the smell of wet earth on a warm day.
