It is interesting to see that the same benefits of an awning in the UK are the same ones we can experience here in Portland Oregon.   I guess sunlight is sunlight, rain is rain, and affordable protection from them in the form of an awning is the same regardless of wherever you are located! – Tom

The last few days have been great here in the UK. The sun has been shining and the first glimpse of summer has shown itself. The sun feels warmer and it’s no longer as dark at 5pm – things are looking great.

With the cold winter behind us, we can now look forward to a nice long hot summer – I know that we have not had one for a few years so we simply must be due one. And they do say, cold winter = hot summer. I hope this is true.

Now may be the perfect opportunity to invest in sun protection. Whilst we all love the summer, sitting under the sun’s harmful rays for too long is damaging to the skin and can lead to serious health problems. Sun Awnings allow a shaded area that you can sit under and at the same time be protected from the UV rays – though still enjoy being outside.

Retractable Sun Awnings come in various styles.

Retracting back into a discreet but attractive cassette when not in use, they offer a whole new extension to your property and a cool place to retreat to on hot summers days.

As   well as the above, Sun Awnings offer shade for your property as well, protecting furniture and carpets from the sun.

Fully automated Sun Awnings are now available that come out on their own if the sun picks up and go away if it gets too windy.

This ensures your rooms stay cool, your furniture and carpet remain protected and it looks like someone is home even if you are out.

With the current financial climate being as it is, you may think now is not the time t invest in such an expensive product. Well considering the fact that any savings are no longer providing interest payments, why not invest in your property at a time when there are some fantastic offers to be had on Sun Awning products.

A Great New Feature Now Available for SunSetter Retractable Awnings

Anyone who has done a little research into retractable awnings usually comes to the conclusion that SunSetter is by far the best value in the Portland Oregon market.   You can get the best construction materials and quality plus the most features for the dollar.   But a good company never sits still for too long.   That is why we chose to be Portland’s SunSetter Awning dealer and installer.

Wind Sensor – A Practical Feature with Real World Value

One thing I always tell prospective retractable awning owners is to consider the times when you realize that you realize that you forgot to retract your awning.   Not that they can’t handle the elements – they are exceptionally sturdy – but nonetheless, you can attain maximum life from it by retracting it when not in use.   With a motorized awning, you don’t need to go outside in the rain or the dark.   Just press a button and it retracts.   That is, if you remember.

Probably the primary cause of damage to your retractable awning investment would come from high winds.   A wind sensor allows a lot of piece of mind.   It no longer matters whether you go to bed, to the market, or on vacation with you retractable awning extended.   If the wind picks up, no worries, you can trust that your wireless wind sensor will handle the problem for you.   In my opinion, that is as good as it gets.

Portland is not an inherently windy area but there are exceptions, whether it be some of the windier locales closer to the Gorge or just the rouge gusts that we periodically get.   Either way, the option of having a factory wind sensor installed is a great way to ensure maximum life out of your SunSetter retractable awning.
