A company in Calgary, AB reports ”these are not your Grandmother’s awnings” by marketing all the benefits of awnings including high fashion and the latest technology. According to the CALGARY HERALD article, not only are awning fabrics made to last these days, but they come in so many patterns and textures that they make a fashion statement all on their own. With the latest remote controlled and motorized retractable awnings, living space on a back patio or porch can be extended with the touch of a button. Some even include wind sensors that will retract the awning at certain wind speeds with no one around.

And they’re not just pretty. They can also reduce energy consumption and protect you from the sun’s harmful rays. A pretty good argument for looking into an awning for yourself.
