Can a sidearm awning reduce my utility bills? Unlike interior blinds, a window awning not only provides privacy, but also reflects UV rays, and blocks the heat from entering into your home, business or RV. With the ability to reject and therefore exclude heat from entering, retractable side arm/drop arm awnings will definitely help lower your utility bill. By simply acting as a barrier to the sun your indoor temperature can dip as much as 20 degrees, which translates into as much as a 77 percent decrease in air conditioning use. How easy is it to clean side and drop arm awnings? To clean a retractable side arm/drop arm awning frame and fabric simply spray gently with a hose. If your sidearm/drop arm awning fabric has a stain like grease, wine or ketchup review the fabric manufacturers cleaning instructions for that particular stain type. Do not under any circumstances attempt to clean the frame or fabric with a pressure washer as the high pressure will rip holes in the fabric and damage the motor, neither of which is covered under warranty.
