What are the primary benefits of solar screens?
Our solar screens block 80–90% of heat and UV rays, reducing solar heat gain, preventing fading, and protecting against harmful UV exposure.

We use powder-coated aluminum with stainless steel fittings. We avoid galvanized components, as they are prone to rust.

How do you clean an awning?
Use a soft-bristled brush, warm water (below 100°F), and a mild soap solution (such as Ivory Liquid or Murphy's Oil Soap).
