I want ro enjoy my view of the outdoors and still provide shade to the rooms of my home when I want it. Bobby, Southfield, MI
This can be a difficult balance to achieve. Unless you have one of Tailor Mades window awning systems. This practical alternataive to drawing curtains or pulling down blinds gives you the option of shading your rooms in style, with as much or as little shade as you desire without blocking your view to the outside. Tailor Made window awnings let you control the amount of sunlight from inside or out with pull cords, hand gears or electric motors, and fully retract when not in use, providing you with a sensible, attractive way to provide shade to your home. - Murray
I need a patio awning that is effective with a westen exposure. Joice, East Detroit, MI
The Tailor Made Classic awning with the unique "Center Bar" gives this awning the ability to "dip". Not only do you get the "hip roof" appearance, but it affords you the maximum protection from the sun without compromising head room. Add the "Pitch Adjust" option that will allow you to further reduce your sun exposure (by lowering the front of the awning at your convenience) and you should have your situation under control. - Murray
My patio is blazing hot in the summer, but I want full sunlight in the winter. What can I do? George C. Down River, MI.
Control the sun with a retractable awning from Tailor Made. Get shade when you need it and more enjoyment of your outdoor living space. Their innovatively designed awnings have proved ideal for almost all types of patios and outdoor areas. Standard crank operation or motorized, they are self-storing and easy to maintain. - Murray
Murray, what type of awning fabric performs bestn Michigan? Jan, Troy, MI
The awnings from Tailor Made are all made up of 100% solution-dyed acrylic yarns. The color is locked in so the fabric stays vibrant and durable, hues won't fade or wash out. The fabric is breathable and can block out up to 75% of the sun's heat while reducing a room's temperature by 8 to 15 degrees. Mild soapy water will wash away most dirt stains. Unlike cotton and vinyl, our fabric resists cracking, peeling and moisture damage.I have Tailor Made awnings on my building and we love them. Murray
