Summer’s coming! Long, sunny days will beckon us outdoors, but that glorious sunshine can also turn our homes into sweltering saunas. Air conditioning bills skyrocket, and the once-inviting patio becomes an oven. But fear not, Chicagoans! There’s a simple, stylish solution: home awnings from Arkel Awnings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat the Heat and Save Money with House Awnings:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think of sipping an iced drink on your patio in cool dappled sunlight, instead of scuttling indoors to escape the stifling heat. A shield of shade provided by an Arkel Awnings\u2019 retractable awning reduces the heat coming onto your patio and into your home, saving on air conditioning and lowering your energy bill. One academic study found that awnings reduced cooling costs by up to 33 per cent in temperate climates and by as much as 50 per cent in hotter regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the science behind the savings: Sunlight beaming through your windows heats up your home and makes your air conditioner work extra hard to keep you cool. But by adding an awning over your windows and patio doors, you\u2019ll reduce the solar heat gain and force your cooling system to work less \u2013 which means lower energy bills and lower cooling costs. You create an invisible blanket over your house that\u2019s shielded from the sun\u2019s heat so your AC system can run more efficiently, save you money, and keep your wallet chilled during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Shade: Enhancing Your Outdoor Living Space:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arkel Awnings go beyond simply blocking the sun. We transform your patio or deck into a truly inviting outdoor living space<\/a>. Imagine having your next summer BBQ under your awning in the cool shade. Imagine sitting outdoors with friends and family in comfort \u2013 perhaps sipping morning coffee, perhaps an evening glass of wine \u2013 knowing you can escape the worst of the summer sun. No more seeking out the cool spots in your house, staying inside on the hottest days of the year. With home awnings, you can create shade on your patio and make the most of the summer weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arkel Awnings come in a variety of styles, colors, and fabrics, allowing you to customize the look and feel of your outdoor space. Imagine a classic striped awning adding a touch of vintage charm to your patio, or a modern, retractable awning with sleek lines complementing your contemporary home’s exterior. The possibilities are endless! Our design consultants will work with you to choose the perfect awning that not only provides shade and functionality but also complements your home’s architectural style and your personal taste.<\/p>\n\n\n

Protection from More than Just the Sun:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicago’s unpredictable summer weather can throw more than just sunshine your way. Arkel Awnings offer protection from unexpected rain showers, allowing you to keep your patio furniture dry and your gatherings uninterrupted. A sudden downpour can quickly dampen your outdoor plans, forcing you to scramble indoors. With an awning, you can find shelter from the rain and continue enjoying your time on your patio. The awning fabric acts as a barrier, deflecting rainwater and keeping your patio furniture and decorations dry. This allows you to relax and enjoy the outdoors with confidence, knowing you have a layer of protection from the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arkel Awnings also provide some degree of UV protection, safeguarding you and your loved ones from the sun’s harmful rays. While awnings may not offer complete protection from UV radiation, they do significantly reduce your exposure. This is especially important for those who spend extended periods outdoors during the summer months. By providing shade and reducing UV exposure, awnings help protect your skin from sunburn and premature aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built to Withstand Chicago Weather:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Arkel Awnings, we understand the unique challenges of Chicago weather. The Windy City is known for its hot summers<\/a>, harsh winters, and everything in between. That’s why we offer a wide selection of awnings built to withstand the Windy City’s elements. Our durable awnings are constructed with high-quality materials that resist fading, tearing, and strong winds. We use UV-resistant fabrics that maintain their vibrant colors for years to come, even under Chicago’s intense summer sun. Our frames are crafted from sturdy materials, ensuring they can withstand strong winds and heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our awnings are also retractable, allowing you to extend them for shade and protection when needed and retract them during heavy rain or winter months. This versatility allows you to maximize the benefits of your awning throughout the year. During the summer, extend your awning to create a shady retreat. In the winter, retract your awning to prevent snow accumulation and wind damage. With a retractable awning from Arkel Awnings, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: shade and protection on demand, and a clear view of the beautiful Chicago sky when desired.<\/p>\n\n\n
