The care of the awning is one of the most important aspects that must be taken into account when you have a sun protection system like this, regardless of whether it is placed in a house (balcony, terrace, patio, rooftop, etc.) or in a business. In this way, we can extend its useful life and make it last a long time.

In Toldos Guardamar we want to help all our clients in an aspect as important as if the awning should roll up or not when it rains. Would you know what to do in this case?

Rolling up the awning when it rains, yes or no?

Although awnings have a long life, atmospheric agents are one of the elements that can damage them the most. Therefore, we must control this aspect a lot, such as when it rains.

Although practically all protective systems have a small waterproofing protective layer, when it starts to rain it is necessary to roll it up before it gets wet and, later, when the rain stops, it has to be unrolled so that it dries and does not create mold. If when we get home or to our business and it is raining, having the awning extended, we will only roll it when it is necessary.

If it has been wet, it is very important to dry it to avoid any kind of moisture accumulation, which will prevent it from generating mold, something that would produce a bad smell as well as a very neglected aspect of the awning.

Another much more comfortable option that will prevent anyone from worrying about not having to roll up or unroll the awning is to install an awning with automation, with sensors that will automatically wind or unroll when they detect that it is beginning to rain.

Having the advice of professionals is something that everyone should take into account to achieve a formidable maintenance of your awning.
