The history of retractable awnings go back hundreds if not thousands of years.
Merchants in Europe were using retractable awnings to shade their produce and
other items for sale well before the United States was ever conceived as a
nation. In ancient days the retractable awning was not much more than a fixed
frame with stretched fabric that could be raised or lowered with a rope and
tied off with a cleat. In modern times the retractable awning has been
elevated with the application of modern metals and long lasting fabrics,
Retractable awnings today come equipped with automation through motorization,
sun sensors for activation, and wind sensors for protection.
Automated awnings may be attached to the roof, soffit,
or fascia of your home or building. Adequate anchoring must be utilized
to properly attach your awning so make sure you are dealing with a reputable
company when purchasing. The Solar Shade Company Screen Company has over 30
years experience with motorized awning systems and have developed the
construction knowledge required to engineer your installation correctly .

Solar Screen Framing Systems
Consider the framing system of the insect screens on your
existing windows. Typically, these are 5/16" X 5/8" and made of .020
aluminum. This is not much more than the aluminum foil found in your
kitchen drawers. In fact, most people have the strength to easily bend and
damage an insect screen frame.
Most
companies will take that same framing system and spline a fabric which is 10 to
15 times heavier. Then they will give you a lifetime warranty on their
product. Does this seem like an honest warranty? Do you think they
are really going to be around in a few years when you begin to have problems
with your solar screens? The low price you received when purchasing a
product like this will end up costing you 3 times more by the time you waste
your days calling for warranty, ultimately not receiving a warranty because the
company cannot afford to service their work, and then contracting with a
reputable company providing the correct type of system to be able to properly
offer a serviceable and affordable warranty.
Solar Shade Screen, Inc
has developed a 1"
aluminum framing system with a spline groove to accept the heavier
solar screen fabric. No plastic corners are used in our manufacturing process.
All corners are mitred and receive internal hidden aluminum reinforced corners. The framing has a wall thickness of 030
and we have not found a person strong enough to crush the framing with their
bare hands like one can with the typical insect screen framing.
Our goal is to provide
the most effective and efficient solar screening system for your windows.
Depending on the circumstance, we might use thumb clips or barrell clips which can rotate
to allow access to the glass for cleaning. Our entire system is engineered to guarantee maximum
efficiency and easy accessibility.
