Sunesta awnings are known for their durability and weather resistance, allowing you to extend your outdoor enjoyment even during less-than-ideal weather conditions.
High-Quality Materials
They are constructed using high-quality materials that are designed to withstand various weather conditions. The frames are made of strong and durable aluminum, which is lightweight, rust-resistant, and long-lasting. The fabric used for the awning is a solution-dyed acrylic, known for its fade resistance, colorfastness, and resistance to mildew and UV rays.
Over-Engineered
Their engineering allows them to withstand wind loads and maintain their structural integrity. Sunesta awnings are the only retractable awning to obtain Miami-Dade County approval for wind tolerance. The exact wind resistance capabilities can vary based on the specific awning model and installation factors. Some awnings may come with additional features like wind sensors for automatic retraction that protect the awning during high winds.
Repel Water
They are also designed to repel water and provide shelter during light rain showers. The fabric used has a 1% openness, allowing the fabric to breathe, but giving it the ability to protect from rain so long as the awning is installed with the proper pitch. However, it’s important to note that while our awnings offer protection during light rain, they are not intended to be used as rain shelters during heavy downpours or storms.
Durable Fabric
The fabric used is a solution-dyed acrylic, which is known for its excellent color retention. This means that the awning fabric resists fading even when exposed to prolonged sunlight. This fade resistant fabric helps to maintain the aesthetic appeal and vibrant colors of the awning over time.
Low Maintenance
Sunesta awnings are designed to be low maintenance. The fabric is treated with stain and mildew-resistant coatings, making it easier to clean and maintain. Regular cleaning and proper care will help extend the lifespan and keep the awning in optimal condition.
It’s important to note that while the awnings are durable and weather-resistant, it’s recommended to exercise caution during extreme weather conditions. It’s advisable to retract the awning during severe storms, heavy winds, or when not in use for an extended period to ensure its longevity and safety.
Overall, Sunesta awnings are built to withstand various weather conditions, providing you with a durable and reliable outdoor shading solution. Their high-quality materials, wind resistance, water resistance, fade resistance, and easy maintenance make them suitable for extending your outdoor enjoyment even during less-than-ideal weather conditions like those we run into here in Edmonton.
