Awning Benefits for Your Home

November 11th, 2015 · Published to Awnings

awning in BrisbaneBrisbane is the third most populated city in Australia. It’s also a major tourist destination, and it’s not difficult to see why. Not only is the city filled with beautiful scenery and majestic architecture, but it also has great weather most of the year, which is why locals simply love the outdoors. However, if you intend to spend quality time with friends and family while enjoying the breeze, it’s best to do so in the shade of an awning.

So what benefits do awnings offer for your home? Here are a few on the top of the list.

Awnings protect you from harmful UV rays

Some days are just too beautiful to be spending time indoors, but being out in the sun also exposes you to harmful UV rays. With an awning in your Brisbane backyard, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Awnings protect you from the heat of the sun while you enjoy a cool breeze. Awnings are capable of blocking up to 99% of UV rays, thus protecting you from a wide variety of diseases, such as skin cancer.

Awnings reduce electricity bills

Do you know that home cooling systems need to work harder mostly because of solar heat entering the home through the walls, windows, and glass doors? Studies have shown that strategically placed awnings can reduce heat gains by as much as 77%. Not only will you be able to save on your electricity bill, but you’ll also be helping the planet by conserving energy and reducing your carbon footprint.

Additionally, combining awnings with other energy-efficient solutions, such as installing solar panels, can further enhance your home’s energy efficiency. By reducing the amount of heat entering your home and generating your own clean energy, you can minimize reliance on traditional electricity sources, maximising savings and sustainability.

Awnings increase your home’s value

Buying a home is similar to buying a car in many aspects. The less work you need to put into a home to make it more beautiful or liveable, the more enticing it gets. All homebuyers look for additions to the home that makes it special and awnings are definitely one of those. A high quality awning may set you back a good amount of money, but it also increases the value of your Brisbane home.

Awnings provide endless hours of enjoyment

Whether you like spending a quiet afternoon after a hard day’s work or you need to spend some quality time with the family over the weekends, there’s no better place to do this than at your own home. Awnings enable you to spend endless hours of outdoor enjoyment alone or with your friends and family.

 

I hope the benefits listed above help entice you to jump on board and purchase an awning for your home. Just make sure when buying an awning in Brisbane, you buy one that’s made of high quality materials.

That reason I recommend you buy a high quality awning in Brisbane (as opposed to low-quality awning) is because while both offer the same fantastic benefits, low-quality awnings are just that, low quality therefore tend to not last very long with Brisbane’s weather. Anyone who knows Brisbane knows that the weather can be unpredictable, and bouts of rough winds can wreak havoc on an awning that’s made of lower quality. So when looking for an awning in Brisbane, choose quality first.
