Eclipse Shading Systems® Helps to Conserve Energy in Historic Buildings

Eclipse Shading Systems partners with the National Park Service, Technical Preservation Services to educate the public on the use of awnings on historic buildings – repairing and replacing, to conserve energy and preserve history. The exterior of any building is exposed to the weather elements and over time, wind, rain, snow, sun, and pollution can do their fair share of damage. From ancient woven mats that could easily be destroyed by a sudden driven rain, to wooden awning frames attached to iron posts with heavy canvas or metal awning material, awnings saw little improvement in materials until the 1980’s when […]

Eclipse Retractable Awnings Get 60,000 Cycles with ABT

Advanced Belt Technology®, or ABT, is a revolutionary tension system, which replaces the use of traditional cables or chains. The outstanding durability of the Advanced Belt Technology used in constructing Eclipse retractable awnings is the result of the nine high carbon steel cables enclosed in a poly carbon UV resistant (PVC) covering. This flat flexible belt improves the arms’ tension transmission providing more strength and reliability. The ABT is stronger, more durable, more resistant, and more aesthetically pleasing than standard cables and chains. The difference is in the belt. The breakthrough Advanced Belt Technology is designed specifically for the awnings […]

Motor versus Manual Retractable Awning

The other side of the coin is that with a manual operating system, you may tend to leave your awning rolled out causing moisture and debris to gather over extended periods of time, which unchecked will likely cause damage and shorten the life of your awning. With a retractable awning motor, you will have the convenience of a hand held remote or wall switch to operate your awning. Somfy, the retractable […]

Optional Protective Hood for Your Eclipse Retractable Awning

When you purchase your Eclipse retractable awning, you may be wondering if you should also purchase an optional protective hood. There are those who say that if the retractable awning is mounted under a soffit or eave, you do not need a hood. We at Eclipse Shading Systems® do recommend a hood if the awning is mounted on the roofing surface, or mounted to a wall (under a soffit or eave) because even when the awning is retracted, it still has some exposure to the elements. Eclipse retractable awnings are a worthwhile, investment in your home, making you more comfortable […]
