5. FAQ

Can automated awnings be programmed for scheduled operation?

Yes, automated awnings can be programmed to extend or retract at specific times of the day. This feature is particularly useful for managing sun exposure, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring your outdoor space remains shaded when needed without manual adjustments.

Are automated awnings suitable for all weather conditions?

While automated awnings are designed to provide shade and light rain protection, it’s advisable to retract them during heavy rain, strong winds, or snow to prevent potential damage. Some models come with sensors that automatically retract the awning in adverse weather conditions, offering added protection.

Can I partially extend my retractable awning?

Yes, most retractable awnings allow for partial extension. This feature enables you to adjust the amount of shade or sunlight in your outdoor area, providing flexibility based on your preferences and the time of day.

What maintenance is required for motorised awnings?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the fabric to prevent mould and mildew, inspecting the framework for signs of wear or damage, and ensuring that the motor and moving parts are functioning correctly. It’s also recommended to retract the awning during severe weather conditions to prolong its lifespan.
