Pros Of Folding Arm Awnings
Space Saving
- Folding arm awnings are a great choice for homeowners who want to be able to use a space both with and without an awning in place.
- This can be particularly important in small spaces such as small gardens and balconies, where there is no opportunity have separate spaces dedicated to sun and shade.
Money Saving
- Installing a folding arm awning can also save you money in the long term by protecting not just the exterior of the home but the interior from heat and sun, reducing the cost of energy bills during the summer months.
- While this might sound like a small bonus, over time it can help you to save significant sums.
Long Lasting
- Folding arm awnings are also more durable than many other kinds of awnings, partially because they can be retracted when not in use, which keeps them safe from storms and high winds, while traditional awnings will quickly deteriorate and can easily be damaged in extreme weather conditions.
Cons Of Folding Arm Awnings
Higher Cost Of Installation
- Folding arm awnings can be more costly to install than other kinds of awnings, precisely because of the additional complexity of the folding arm.
- However, many homeowners find that much of the cost of the installation is made back in terms of home value, as this kind of awning is highly sought after and very durable.
Signs Of Wear
- One other consideration is the wear and tear over time. While a motorised folding arm awning should stay operational for years and years, and can easily be fixed or repaired, there may be some signs of wear to manual crank awnings after many years of use.
