Shade, comfort, privacy, and insect protection. These are just a few of the many ways a patio awning can increase your outdoor enjoyment. SummerSpace® retractable awnings can help your backyard transform into a shaded outdoor retreat. Awnings first became popular in Europe decades ago to keep things cool on hot summer days. Today, awnings are still very popular but don’t have to look decades old. What are some modern styles of awnings that don’t look dated? With SummerSpace retractable awnings, get the wonderful benefits of an awning in sleek, updated looks for your home. Here are some of the style choices you can make when picking your SummerSpace awning.  

Modern Models of Awnings

No matter what your style is, we’ve got you covered, literally! SummerSpace retractable awnings come in three effective and stunning series with various features and benefits.  Each series features both traditional open frame styles with a fabric valances to full cassette “European” styles with fully concealed fabrics.

If you’d like, our local dealers can offer expert opinions and advice to help you decide on the right choices to create a cohesive and timeless look. In addition to looking great, our Tempotest® fabrics are designed to repel water and atmospheric dirt, while resisting mold and fungus growth.

Modern Frame Options

Once you’ve selected beautiful fabric options, you can also pick a frame color. At SummerSpace, our retractable awning frames come in five low gloss textured frame color options. Choose from white, almond, sand, chocolate, or espresso. This industry leading powdered coating finish gives a luxurious, textured look to the frame. It also makes the frame extremely durable, fade resistant, and resistant to mold or fungus growth.
