Choosing from the wide variety of terrace awnings is not always easy, and there are so many options that choosing one can be overwhelming. All of them help to regulate the entry of natural light from the outside and to lower the temperature on the hottest days.
At Toldos Guardamar, as experts in advanced solar protection systems, we would like to show you the advantages that the box awning has over the conventional awning.
What is a box awning?
They are those that have a box in which the entire awning is collected, including the extendable arms, the motor (if it has one) and the hardware. In this way, only one metal drawer (aluminum) is visible and they are safeguarded from the external elements.
Advantages of the box awning compared to the conventional one.
There are three fundamental advantages to opting for a box awning:
- Durability
As we have already mentioned, the entire awning is protected within a metal structure, which makes it protected and thus lasts much longer. For example, if the life of a normal awning can reach 10 years, with the box awning system you can double that useful life.
- Aesthetic value
When they are closed you can see nothing more than a metallic structure, they are discreet and do not spoil the facade.
- Simple to clean and maintain
When it is not necessary it can be stored for long periods of time, and if you clean it before storing it, for example, with water and neutral soap, waiting, of course, for it to be dry to close it and thus avoid mold, it will be clean longer without the need for frequent cleaning.
The box awnings can also be motorized, facilitating their use also with wind and sun sensors to make life easier for you.
