<p>There are quite a few benefits to installing a home retractable awning.</p>
<p><strong>1) UV Protection </strong></p>
<p>According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, more than 1 million people will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year alone. As most of us know the suns rays are damaging and are strongest between the hours of 10am and 4pm, the time of day when most of us want to enjoy our outdoor spaces.  Major Blinds offers retractable awning by Durasol  which can provide much needed shade for your health and outdoor enjoyment.  Durasol Awnings use Sunbrella fabric which has been proven to block out 98% of the suns harmful UV rays.</p>
<p><strong>2) Creates an Outdoor &#8220;Living Room&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Awnings not only offer shade they also offer more livable space.  By adding an awning to your exterior space you create an additional &#8220;room&#8221; for your home.   It&#8217;s the least expensive and most immediate addition you can make to your home.</p>
<p><strong>3) Add</strong><strong> </strong><strong>to the aesthetics, elegance and beauty of your home </strong></p>
<p>Adding a custom made awning adds value and individuality to your home.  With the turn of a crank or the push of a button you add charm and increase your resale value.</p>
<p><strong>4) Energy Conservation</strong></p>
<p>In our new &#8220;green&#8221; world, energy conservation is key.  Awnings can reduce the temperature of your home and reduce your air conditioning usage.  Adding an awning to the west side of your home can decrease the indoor temperature by as much as 15 degrees and help save energy costs.</p>
<p><strong>5) Take it Easy Outdoors, Rain or Shine</strong></p>
<p>How many times have you been chased indoors by blazing sun or a sudden shower? With an awning, that seldom happens, because you have protection from the elements.</p>
<p><strong>6) Protection From Fading</strong></p>
<p>Retractable patio awnings from Major Blinds protect your indoor furniture, carpeting, wallpaper and art from fading. They also protect your outdoor furniture fabric from fading as well.</p>
