Retractable Patio Awnings
Retractable Patio Awnings
By | On Feb 01, 2011 | CommentsAll our awning models are retractable. When not in need, the awning units easily retract to blend with your home’s exterior. Sun? Shade? You decide. Designed to be self-supporting from one mount, without unattractive poles. Motorized awning retraction units include a remote control. These awnings are not designed for use in the snow, like all fabric awnings.
Friends of the Sun offers these models of patio awnings, made by NuImage Awnings of Maine, using the finest acrylic fabrics from SunBrella and Sattler. We sell and install awnings in Southern Vermont, and adjacent counties in New York and Massachusetts.

Compare NuImage Awnings to the Competition
By | On May 15, 2012 | CommentsSeen awnings advertised on TV lately? Receive a shiny flyer in the mail? Marketing is amazing stuff, but you have to do your homework to sort through all the glitter! As with most products nowadays, the old adage holds true more then ever:
“You Get What You Pay For!”
Pretty pictures don’t tell the whole story. NuImage Awnings beat the competition by using heavier aluminum extrusions for the arms and frame, to better withstand the stresses of wind and water! They win by incorporating stainless steel components in their retracting system. You benefit from much superior warranties on the frame, fabric, and motor. And, of course, the large selection of features and options put the competition to shame!
Check this out to start your due diligence, and make sure you have all the facts before getting sold on the glitter and hype!
