The warm season is made to live the days or evenings in company in the outdoor spaces of our homes , enjoying the mild temperatures typical of summer. To protect yourself from direct rays and to create an atmosphere that is as welcoming as possible, you must choose the awnings to be installed well, especially if you have a nice balcony and want to use it to get a quick injection of relaxation even in city. Guaranteed privacy, no risk of burns and a lot of tranquility
Balcony curtains are a fundamental accessory for the outside of the house as they allow you to engage in any activity with a surplus of tranquility. There is no risk of burns, you can have lunch as well as dinner al fresco always protecting your privacy (especially if you live in an apartment located on a low floor) and it will also be nice to know that you can always carve out some time for yourself in a little personal corner of paradise .
There are many different types of awnings for the balcony and you need to know them in order to juggle the best when choosing. Choosing the right roofing model will allow, among other things, to prevent the sun’s rays – directly striking the window panes – from overheating the relative rooms too much. By placing them to protect the faces of the house, you can also use themprevent any discoloration of the fixtures as well as of course the furniture and furnishing accessories that are in the apartment. Staying in the shelter of a well positioned and good quality tent allows you to keep the temperature around 20 degrees. Obviously, the overall surface of the balcony must be taken into account , which will affect the choice of the desired awning model.
As for the choice of the type of fabric used to make the fabric, this is undoubtedly the main element to consider in relation to the entire structure. There are several options for balcony awnings on sale, for example those made from natural fabrics such as cotton, which – due to the specific composition – are more subject to aging phenomena over time. The latter are due to the continuous action of atmospheric agents but also to pollution. Moreover, due to the delicacy of the support, tears and tears are more frequent which make replacement necessary in the long run.
It will be correct to state that in reality the best choice is represented by synthetic fibers, which ensure the highest level of performance both in terms of resistance and usability and persistence of color. Acrylic materials are characterized by having very interesting and performing requirements: they are in fact stain and tear resistant, ideal for continuous display in the outdoor area of ​​the house. These fibers, however, possess a truly remarkable absorbing capacity as regards the passage of UV radiation. Especially if they have undergone certain coloring procedures.

For example, there are vertical drop awnings , probably the most used type ever to protect the balcony from direct rays. As for their structure, there is a frame that in the upper part is fixed to the ceiling while the lower part is anchored to the railing . Then there is the cloth, which descends harmoniously and homogeneously from top to bottom. Often there are guides on the side , which increase the price but which help to keep the sheet always in tension (ok for wind resistance).
Another widely used type and then the awning for balconies with extendable arms . How it is made
Here there is a completely foldable structure, which makes the visual impact almost zero when the cover is unused. There are two tracks that characterize the frame of this type of awning: it is here that the arms slide. The fabric is always kept in perfect tension , regardless of the extension assumed at a given moment by the arms themselves. The presence of a dumpster can help extend the operational life of such supports over time. The reason is obvious: going to contain the entire structure, it cannot be worn by the action of atmospheric agents such as rain, wind and hail.typical of the autumn and winter season. Generally you choose to install a balcony awning in condominium contexts , in which case you will not be able to decide in total autonomy neither the graphics nor the color of the fabric in the name of a basic harmony in relation to the facade of the building. A different thing, for example, happens for independent houses.
