The Best Way to Add Shade to Your Central Florida Backyard
Looking to create the perfect outdoor retreat in your own backyard? Motorized retractable awnings offer the ideal solution — instant shade at the touch of a button, plus the flexibility to open up to full sun whenever you want.
Let’s explore everything you need to know about motorized retractable awnings and how they can transform your outdoor living experience.
Why Choose Motorized Retractable Awnings?
Motorized retractable awnings offer the perfect blend of convenience, style, and functionality. Unlike fixed awnings that are permanently extended, motorized retractable awnings can be extended or retracted with a single button press.
This lets you customize your outdoor space based on your needs — whether you’re seeking shade from the harsh Florida sun or want to open up for evening relaxation under the stars.
What’s Included with Our Retractable Awnings
Motorized Operation
Say goodbye to manual cranking. Our retractable awnings are fully motorized for effortless operation with the touch of a button. If you lose power, a manual override feature lets you use a hand crank to open and close your awning.
Enclosed Cassette
Protect your awning fabric when not in use with our enclosed cassette design. This keeps your awning clean and protected from the elements, prolonging its lifespan and ensuring years of enjoyment.
Integrated LED Lights
Set the mood for evening relaxation with built-in LED lights in the arms of our awnings. These lights provide a soft, gentle glow that adds warmth and ambiance to your outdoor gatherings — letting you enjoy your space well into the night.
User-Adjustable Pitch Control
Stay comfortable throughout the seasons with user-adjusted pitch control. Easily tilt your awning to block out the sun’s glare or welcome in warmth as needed, ensuring maximum comfort year-round.
Wireless Wind Sensor (Optional)
For added peace of mind, our retractable awnings can be equipped with a wireless wind sensor. This sensor automatically retracts the awning when it detects strong winds, helping protect your investment during Florida’s unpredictable weather.
Top 5 Benefits of Motorized Retractable Awnings
1. Effortless Shade
Shade is just a click away. Enjoy instant relief from the sun’s harsh rays whenever you need it, without the hassle of manual operation or cumbersome mechanisms.
2. Versatility
Motorized retractable awnings offer unmatched versatility, letting you customize your outdoor space for any occasion — daytime gatherings, evening dinners, or quiet relaxation.
3. Enhanced Comfort
Create a comfortable outdoor environment for you and your guests. By providing shade and protection from the elements, awnings let you enjoy your outdoor space even on the hottest summer days.
4. Extended Living Space
Make the most of your outdoor space by extending your living area. Whether you’re adding shade to a patio, deck, or balcony, awnings create a functional and inviting outdoor retreat.
5. Energy Efficiency
Reduce your energy consumption and save money on cooling costs. By blocking out the sun’s heat before it enters your home, awnings help keep interior spaces cooler and reduce your reliance on air conditioning.
How to Choose the Right Motorized Retractable Awning
When selecting a motorized retractable awning for your outdoor space, consider these key factors:
Size
Choose an awning size that fits your outdoor space and provides adequate coverage. Our awnings are available up to 25 feet wide with 12 feet of projection.
Fabric
Select a high-quality, weather-resistant fabric that will withstand the elements. Sunbrella awning fabrics are the industry leader and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as part of a complete sun protection regimen.
Frame
Choose an awning with a durable frame material built to last. Powder-coated aluminum is an excellent choice for withstanding Central Florida’s intense climate.
Features
Consider which features matter most to you: integrated LED lights, user-adjusted pitch control, or wireless wind sensors. Look for awnings where these features are included rather than charged as add-ons.
Warranty Coverage
When investing in a retractable awning, warranty coverage matters. At New Horizons, we stand behind the quality of our products:
- Frame and Sunbrella Fabric: 10-year warranty ensuring durability and longevity
- Electronics: 5-year warranty covering motors, LED lights, and remote controls
Maintenance Tips
Maintaining your retractable awning is straightforward:
Cleaning
Our awnings feature Sunbrella fabric, known for durability and easy maintenance. Simply use warm water, mild soap, and a cloth to remove dirt or debris. The fabric’s color integrity is engineered to last, so you’ll enjoy vibrant hues for years.
Seasonal Adjustments
As seasons change, adjust the pitch of your awning to optimize shade coverage and protection. Take advantage of the user-adjusted pitch control to ensure maximum comfort year-round.
