Full-box awnings vs. traditional retractable awnings: a comprehensive comparison of price, performance, and lifespan

 

When choosing an awning, consumers often hesitate between full-box awnings and traditional retractable awnings. In order to help everyone make a more appropriate decision, the following is a comprehensive comparison of the two from three key aspects: price, performance, and lifespan.

Price

The overall price is relatively high, with a price range of approximately RMB 3,000 to 8,000. The main reason is that its complex full-box structure, fine manufacturing process, high-quality material selection, and relatively high cost.

Relatively affordable, the price is usually between 1000 and 3000 yuan. The structure is relatively simple and the production cost is low, so the market price is more acceptable to the public.

performance

The shading area is large and can be adjusted flexibly, providing ample shading space. The fully enclosed box design effectively blocks ultraviolet rays and has good protection performance. It has strong wind resistance and can remain stable even in strong winds. It is easy to operate and the electric model can be easily controlled by the remote control.

The shading area is limited, and the degree of expansion is relatively inflexible. The protection against UV rays is average, relying only on the shading cloth itself. The wind resistance is weak, and it is easy to shake or even be damaged in strong winds. The operation method is mostly manual, which is laborious and not convenient enough.

life

Since the internal mechanical components are protected by the box body and are protected from wind, rain, sun and rain, the risk of rust and aging of the components is greatly reduced. Under normal use, the service life can reach 10-15 years.

Mechanical parts are exposed to the outside for a long time and are easily corroded by the environment, causing rust and wear. Frequent maintenance affects their use. The average lifespan is generally 5-8 years.

From the above comparison, we can see that although the full-cassette awning is expensive, it has obvious advantages in performance and life. If you are looking for high quality, long life, convenient operation and better sun protection, and have a sufficient budget, the full-cassette awning is an ideal choice. It can provide long-term and stable sun protection for your outdoor space and bring a more comfortable use experience. Traditional retractable awnings are affordable. If you have relatively simple requirements for the awning function, a limited budget, and a relatively mild use environment, traditional retractable awnings can also meet daily sun protection needs. In short, when making a decision between the two, you need to comprehensively consider factors such as your actual needs, budget, and usage scenarios.
