Important Operating and Cautionary Information: Please keep in mind that all awnings are designed primarily for sun protection. They are not designed to withstand high winds or more than light rain – especially
on shallow pitch installations where rain may collect on the fabric. During those times, the awning must be fully retracted to prevent damage not covered by the warranty. While virtually no maintenance is required,
you may wish to wipe the frame and fabric periodically using a soft cloth with plain water or mild soap and reseal with water repellent. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Preserve Your View
Unlike blinds, drapes, sunscreens, and window films, a
retractable awning blocks only the elements, not your view.
Awnings provide continuous enjoyment of outdoor spaces while
shading homeowners from the sun.
Retain Room Brightness
Reduce Your Energy Costs Up To 25%
According to the Professional Awning Manufacturers
Association, awnings can reduce air conditioning costs
by as much as 25 percent. In addition, a 2007 study
conducted by the Center for Sustainable Building
Research at the University of Minnesota revealed that
homeowners with retractable awnings achieve the
lowest energy use by retracting the awnings in cooler
months and extending them during warmer months.
A Sunshade Retractable Awning by Gutter Helmet® gives you
total control of the areas it shields because you can easily retract
the awning on cloudy days to encourage more light in a room or
extend on sunny days to block heat gain.
Protect Your Furnishings
Constant direct summer exposure to ultraviolet rays damages and
fades furnishings such as carpets and window treatments. The
