Uni-Lux Retractable Awning
The more you look around the more you will agree that all retractable awnings simply are not created equal. The UNI-LUX, Accent’s intermediate-level awning, is fabricated without sacrificing quality while constructed to be superior to other awnings in its category. Ideal for the cost conscious customer the UNI-LUX retractable awning is custom-made to order, being built in the same factory and by the same people as our ELITE class awning. The UNI-LUX retractable awning is even sewn with the same “PTFE“ Teflon thread and utilizes the same high-grade stainless steel hardware as the premium class ELITE.
The acrylic awning fabric is available in a tasteful selection of stock colors and the aluminum framework comes in a durable white powder coated finish. The UNI-LUX retractable arm type is a single cable/dual spring design and is offered in projections 5ft to 10 ft. All of this quality rolled into a perfect awning that supplies you a cost effective option that other companies can’t match.
Extending your awning allows you to recapture that seldom used patio, deck or balcony. On a hot summer day the UNI-LUX retractable awning will cool the interior of your home by as much as 20 degrees.
