Retractable Awning For That Balcony Space

A balcony space is a beautiful addition to any home. They are a place to get away, breathe some fresh air and take in an amazing view. Or maybe just sit and watch the world go by. Here in the Philippines, second floor balconies in homes are quite common. With the tropical heat and the mixture with Spanish Colonial architecture, balconies offer great airflow and help keep things cooler on the second or even third floors. And it’s a great place to hang laundry to dry quicker.

But what if you live in a condo or apartment several stories up? Balconies for high rise buildings are not left out when it comes to the benefits of a Skybass retractable awning. Skybass Indoor and Outdoor Comfort has retractable awnings suited for all types of dwellings. In fact, there may be even more benefits to adding a retractable awning to your balcony space than you would think.

Here are just a few:

Balconies That Face The Morning Sun

The sun rises early in the Philippines. Much too early to get up sometimes. And it’s difficult to sleep with the blazing sun on your face. Heavy curtains can block the sun, however wouldn’t it be nice to get some fresh morning air as well?

Also, having a leisurely breakfast on your balcony is impossible. It’s simply too hot and too bright. By installing a Skybass retractable awning on your condo or apartment balcony, you can block that early morning sun. Sleep in then enjoy your coffee high above the traffic below.

Actually, no matter what time of the day the sun hits your balcony window, you can benefit from a retractable awning. It’s there ready to block those dangerous UV rays when you need it to.You can’t get the same benefit from a patio umbrella. Patio umbrellas take up too much precious space, which can be limited on a balcony. Furthermore, it can be dangerous. A Skybass retractable awning mounts securely to the outside wall. So when the wind kicks up above 25kmph, just retract your awning using the motorized mechanism.

Protect Your Balcony From The Rain

…or just sit outside and enjoy the fresh, cool breeze as the light rain falls.  When a sudden light rain arises, you can extend your awning easily. Rain won’t ruin your day. Especially if you have plans to be on the balcony.  Also, you can keep your balcony doors open to lower the inside temperatures rather than having to close everything so the rain won’t get in. This will help protect your inside furnishings that may be close to the balcony doors.

Balcony Privacy

In many cases, balconies are attached to the bedroom. This is mostly true when it comes to second or third story homes. This can make keeping your privacy an issue. With a Skybass retractable awning, you can eliminate the worry and concern of someone peeking into your window at inopportune times. Furthermore, you will get the sense of security when your windows are open.

People will look into windows for many reasons. Even if you are in a high rise, some buildings are close enough to peer into. They may just be curious or may be trying to catch you in intimate moments, or even looking in to see what you have. Or sometimes you just don’t want to be observed. A retractable awning can take care of all of this.

Extra Space Without A BackYard

With a Skybass retractable awning, you add extra space to your condo or apartment. A place to go and enjoy even when the weather is not agreeable. It may be beneficial for you to live in the city. Closer to work or you may just like the hustle and bustle. Many people do. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to enjoy as much of the outdoors as possible.

With a retractable awning from Skybass Indoor and Outdoor Comfort you can even start a small balcony garden. It’s not uncommon to see people living in high-rises to have tomato or even eggplant bushes growing on their balconies. You’ll now have control over how much sun and rain your plants get and at what time of the day. Also, some Filipinos like to keep pets on their balconies. Birds, like parakeets, are a popular condo pet.
