Choosing the right awning is essential to ensure comfort and functionality in any outdoor space.
At Toldo Express, we offer a wide range of solutions tailored to each client’s needs. Discover in this article which type of awning is best for you.
Choose the type of awning according to your needs
Before choosing an awning, it is important to consider several key aspects that will ensure the choice fits perfectly with your space and lifestyle.
- Location: Installing an awning on a large terrace is not the same as on a small balcony or in a garden. It also matters whether it’s placed over a window, a pergola, or in a commercial space. Depending on the place of installation, the most suitable model may vary considerably in terms of size, type of anchoring, and design.
- Climate: The climatic environment of your area is crucial. If you live in a windy area or one with frequent rain, you’ll need a more resistant awning, possibly with a reinforced structure or a protective cassette. On the other hand, if you’re looking for shade from the sun, the ideal model will offer wide coverage and UV protection.
- Aesthetics: The awning should also harmonize with the façade of your home or business. At Toldo Express, we offer models with modern, minimalist, or classic lines, with a wide variety of fabrics, colors, and finishes so you can personalize your choice and achieve a visually appealing result.
- Functionality: This is one of the most decisive factors. Do you prefer an awning that opens and closes automatically with a remote control? Or are you looking for a simpler and more economical option with a manual system? Additionally, if you plan to use it frequently or all year round, it’s best to opt for a motorized system that offers greater comfort, and even sun or wind sensors that activate the awning automatically based on current conditions.
Types of awnings
At Toldo Express, we have a wide variety of awning types. Among them, you’ll find:
Cassette awning
This model incorporates a cassette that protects the fabric and arms when the awning is retracted, extending its lifespan and keeping it in optimal condition. It is ideal for areas exposed to harsh weather conditions, as it offers complete protection against sun, rain, and wind.
Motorized awning
Motorized awnings provide comfort and ease of use, allowing you to extend or retract the awning at the push of a button. They are perfect for large installations or for those seeking a modern and practical solution.
Veranda awning
Especially designed to cover glass roofs or similar structures, the veranda awning offers efficient sun protection, maintaining a pleasant interior temperature. Its tension system ensures the fabric remains taut and aesthetically pleasing.
Roll-down awning
Also known as a vertical awning, this model unfolds perpendicularly to the ground, providing privacy and protection from the sun and wind. It is commonly used on balconies and terraces.
Windbreaker awning with or without window
Designed to protect outdoor areas from the wind, these awnings can include transparent windows that allow natural light in without sacrificing protection. They are ideal for enclosing pergolas or terraces, creating more cozy and sheltered spaces.
