A Complete Guide To Finding The Best Retractable Awnings

Retractable awnings are considered a cheaper alternative to ShadeFX retractable canopies. However, some consumers don’t understand that they are entirely different products. The differences in capabilities are immeasurable and we’ll cover these focal points below.

Retractable Awnings: Primarily designed as a shade device but capable of handling light to moderate rain as long as the water does not ‘pool’. If water does pool, it can result in unhealthy mold and mildew growth. It is recommended to retract the system during heavy rains as it can damage the awning. If retracted when wet, the awning must be re-extended to dry before retracting again for longer term storage. Wet awnings will rot and develop mould if left rolled up when wet.

ShadeFX Retractable Canopies: Designed for both rain and sun protection. The canopy suspends from a single track, producing a peak which forces rain to run on either side. Consumers can also tilt the canopy to direct runoff. As a bonus, gutters can be installed to further manage rainwater. ShadeFX canopies continue to allow air to pass through the folds when retracted. As such, they can be retracted wet without the threat of rotting or developing mould.
