Question 10

What's the advice for awning care and maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Retractable awnings should be retracted if high winds or storms are anticipated and under no circumstances should water be allowed to pool on the awning.

Provided the awning is installed with a minimum 14 degree angle, your awning will shed water. The fabric has a UV Teflon coating which repels water and dirt.

Folding arm awnings are designed to be used as a sun shelter in calm conditions and light rain. Some awnings and roof systems have a higher wind rating such as Helioscreen Cassette awning.

Awnings generally can handle some wind however when the wind picks up the fabric will act like a sail and can damage arms and how the awing is fixed to your premises. So it's important retract the awning when unsure
