Vertical awnings are efficient and elegant options that can provide excellent coverage and shielding to the windows. Unlike blinds and shades that can be used as both internal and external window treatments, vertical awnings are mostly used externally. Vertical awnings have a robust construction that makes them ideal for shading the outdoor sections of the house or for providing coverage to the windows from outside. However, the vertical awnings are just as easy to use as internal window fittings. Their sturdy build quality and form factor have made them a popular external window covering option. They comprise of a cassette that is affixed on the wall above the window frame. This cassette acts as a housing for the awning fabric and from here the awnings get pulled down and retracted back into depending on your need. Further, the awnings have a cover fabric that runs vertically within the guide wires or rails located on either side of the window. Irrespective of whether you are using them as internal or external fittings, you can operate them without a hassle using a remote.
