Add Value

The Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA) estimates awnings can save as much as $200 a year by reducing the time the air conditioner runs. The association says the energy performance of an awning is usually affected by its style, fabric color and orientation. Realtors say that awnings make their job easier because awnings are "like jewelry on a house." that adds value in four ways:

An undressed window on the inside of your house cries out for draperies, blinds or shades. Dressing exterior windows is just as important because unadorned windows can make your home appear cold and unwelcoming. Awnings add curb appeal to your house in the same way that window dressings on the inside of your home add warmth and decorative value. When a visitor approaches your home, the awnings communicate that you care enough about your house to add curb appeal and aesthetic value.

You spend more money to keep your house cool in the summer months when the sun beats down on your windows all day. Awnings add shade and block the sun, reducing heat build up. When your home is cooler, your air conditioner won't have to work as hard or run as often. You save money while you live there and you pass these savings onto the next owner, which adds value to the sale of your home.

Add a patio awning to your house to make your outdoor space more comfortable. When you can sit outside in the shade, instead of in the blazing hot sun, it will seem as if you added outdoor living space to your home. You and your guests will enjoy being outside and won't have to constantly raise, lower and adjust a patio umbrella. This is a nice convenience for you and a value you pass onto a home buyer.

Retractable awnings are optional accessories that show you are a homeowner who cares about your property. Installing awnings indicates to potential buyers that you probably maintain other aspects of your home, such as the heating and air conditioning systems and the plumbing. Buyers are more likely to purchase a house that has been maintained than a rundown house.

Measuring and Installation Details

Brasilia Slim Retractable Awning Measurement Instructions

Determine the width of the awning. This requires a clear span, with no obstructions. The awning needs to be mounted on a continuous uninterrupted plane. Be sure that light fixtures or down spouts are not in the way. The fabric is approximately 7" less than the frame width.
Please be aware that although the awning rail requires a minimum of 6.5" (inches) to mount you should allow additional space above the awning (at least 1") for optimal operation of the awning.
A minimum of 8'1" is required from the deck or patio to the top of the mounting space. The manufacturer suggests a mounting height of 9' is optimal. See following chart for more details. Note that the awning pitch can be adjusted up or down after the unit has been installed.
You need space to slide the decorative caps in place, at least 3.5” on the motor or crank side and 2.5” on the other side. This is important if you want to have 2 awnings side by side or if you install in an inside corner.
For awnings less than 16' wide, two brackets will be supplied for each end of the awning. Larger awnings will have a 3rd bracket for the middle.
If you don’t have free space on your wall, open the soffit and look inside your eaves. You need to see if your trusses or rafters are level or slanted and if they are strong enough to support the awning. If your trusses are slanted, you will need to purchase rafter adaptors. These adaptors are NOT included in the price of your awning.
To choose the side of the motor, stand outside, looking in at the house. The power cord is 24 feet long and plugs into a regular outlet.
Full measurement requirements and installation specifications can be found in the manual below. Please review prior to ordering.
