WHY RECOVER YOUR AWNING?
At Awning Recovers.Com.Au we have been in the business of replacing and repairing awning fabric in Melbourne for a long time. We get asked all the time if it is really worth repairing an awning and replacing the awning fabric. The simple answer in most cases is .......YES!
There are many reasons why recovering your awning fabric is the better option than completely replacing your awning system.
In some instances the awning fabric and frame are too far gone to consider an awning repair with a replacement cloth. We at Awning Recovers.Com.Au come out an assess your awning in Metropolitan Melbourne to see if it is worth a canvas, acrylic, or mesh fabric replacement.
Rising summer temperatures
Its no secret that the summer temperatures here in Australia are getting progressively hotter each year and for longer periods.
If you have worn, damaged and torn awning fabric... then your awnings are no longer performing at their optimal best. This means harmful u.v light and heat is getting thru to your windows or outdoor space, fading and damaging your home decor, windows, furniture, carpet etc as well as increasing the solar gain into your home or business. This means less comfort and increased repairs, maintenance and cooling costs. Performing an awning repair and replacing your worn or damaged awning fabric will restore the function of your canvas, acrylic, and mesh awnings.
You only have to turn on the 5 o'clock news to hear how the cost of living has soared here in Australia. Every day essential items seem to be getting more expensive. Essential services such as electricity, gas and water are constantly rising. Home budgets are becoming tighter and people and businesses are always looking at ways to save money where they can.
Fabric Awnings can significantly reduce solar gain within a home, office or any building. This means more comfort within a space and a significant reduction in the amount of time and power required to cool down a building or space. Installing new or replacing old awnings with new fabric is one of the easiest ways of reducing your power bill. We have seen some canvas awnings last over 40 years before they need an awning repair and have the canvas replaced. Even if you get 10 years life out of your awning fabric you still would have easily recouped their cost in the savings from your power bill. If your lucky enough to have existing fabric sun blind awnings then you can potentially save hundreds if not thousands of dollars by only replacing the awning fabric and re-using the awning frame.
Increase in the cost of living and tighter budgets
Enviromental Sunstainability
Any Awnings can play a big role in giving your home or business a better green rating by making them more energy efficient. If your awning fabric is damage, worn or torn it reduces its ability to protect against the suns heat. Making sure you fabric is in good condition means reducing solar gain into your space, which in turn will reduce the amount of power you need to cool your home or business in the warmer months. Also awning fabric in good condition will protect furnishing and windows from sun damage, thus increasing their life span and delay their replacement.
When you are considering replacing awning fabric over a new system please consider that if the awning hardware in in good condition, replacing the awning fabric is by far the most sustainable option. Throwing out a good frame that may otherwise end up in landfill is not sustainable. You also have the added bonus of saving hundreds if not thousands of dollars on an awning recover over a completely new awning system.
