1. Tailored to Stockholm’s Climate Demands
- UV & Wind Resistance: The awning’s acrylic fabric blocks 99% of UV rays (tested to UPF 50+), while its crank-arm mechanism withstands 30mph winds—ideal for Sweden’s coastal breezes.
- Temperature Control: A heat-reflective coating keeps under-awning areas 12°C cooler than direct sunlight, allowing the homeowner to enjoy summer meals without glare or overheating.
- Easy Adjustment: The manual crank system lets them fine-tune the awning angle throughout the day, from morning sun to evening shade.
2. Sleek Design Complementing Scandinavian Aesthetics
- Modern Minimalism: The homeowner chose a neutral white frame to match their terrace’s minimalist decor, with a subtle stripe pattern on the fabric that echoes Nordic design principles.
- Space Optimization: The awning’s compact profile (only 25cm when retracted) doesn’t clutter the small urban terrace, a key priority for Stockholm homeowners.
- Custom Color Options: Yongdi’s 16 standard color palette allowed them to coordinate the awning with their home’s exterior, creating a cohesive look.
3. Durability Proven in Nordic Conditions
- All-Weather Materials:
✅ Powder-coated aluminum frame resists rust in Stockholm’s humid winters
✅ Solution-dyed acrylic fabric maintains color after 1,000+ hours of UV exposure
✅ Stainless steel hardware prevents corrosion from sea air (tested in Gothenburg)
- Maintenance-Free Design: The homeowner reports rinsing the awning twice a year with a hose, noting no fading or structural issues after three seasons.
4. Functional Benefits Beyond Shade
- Extended Outdoor Use: The awning enabled the homeowner to use their terrace 5 months longer per year, from late spring to early autumn, by blocking cold winds and light rain.
- Energy Savings: By shading west-facing windows, the awning reduced indoor temperatures by 5°C in summer, cutting air conditioning use.
- Privacy Enhancement: The awning’s fabric can be customized with lattice patterns, providing a semi-private space in urban neighborhoods.
