Install an Awning for Year-Round Comfort and Protection from the Sun in O'Fallon
L & D Wilson Siding and Roofing, Inc. can assist you in staying comfortable in your outdoor living area as well inside your home. With a reliable awning, your deck or patio will have comfortable protection from the sun, giving you a new outdoor living space. Attaching to the side of your home via the wall, roof, or soffit, our awnings are composed of metal frames with fabric stretched over the top of it. You have a few options when choosing an awning for your property – they can come in one of the following configurations:
Stationary Awning
This type of awning is permanently mounted to your home’s exterior and is always in the extended position. While these are very study and stable, since they are always open, they are more prone to weather hazards.
Benefits of Retractable Awnings
Retractable Awning
This is the most popular awning type because it is the most versatile. This awning allows you to choose whether you would like your deck or patio to be shady or sunny. The best part is that it is easy to transfer from one function to the other without any hassle.
This awning is not attached to your property at all. It can move around your outside area whenever and wherever you want. Although convenient, it is the costliest of the awning types and does not provide as much sun coverage because it must be smaller for mobility.
Choosing a motorized retractable awning allows for more convenience because your comfort is at a simple push of a button. They also have a built-in layer of protection that will retract automatically if there is weather danger in hopes of minimizing damage. This option does come at a higher cost but is considered more luxurious and convenient due to its ease of use.
Awnings not only keep you cool, but they keep your windows cool. This helps to naturally keep the inside of your home cooler and can reduce the heat transfer by 80%. Lay off the heat and save on your energy bill.

A manual retractable awning offers the same style and protection options as its motorized counterpart, only it needs a hand crank to open and close as opposed to a remote. This type of awning is easier to install and initial is cut in cost because it does not deal with special mechanics to work properly and efficiently.
