It’s no secret that the San Francisco Bay Area boasts some of the nation’s most agreeable weather thanks to a mild year-round climate that generally doesn’t have severe events such as blizzards, hurricanes, and tornadoes. However, Bay Area residents, especially those in the sunny South Bay, must always be mindful of one nemesis: the sun.
It might seem a bit cold-hearted to look upon our provider of beautiful sunshine and pleasant temperatures with disdain, but the fact is UV rays from the sun can do considerable damage to not only the body, but also the home.
The simple solution is to grab some sunscreen for a day under the sun, but continually slathering lotion on can be bothersome. And it still doesn’t protect your hardwood flooring or furniture from sun damage.
Instead, there’s a less greasy and more fashionable way to ward off sunrays from the skin and home: motorized retractable awnings.

Perfect Climate for Motorized Awnings in San Jose, CA
Installing an awning for dealing with the summertime heat in San Jose, and the Bay Area in general, is a great idea, but the city’s climate makes getting an awning an ideal choice regardless of the season.
San Jose has an average of 300 days of sunshine per year and the average temperature for the year hovers around 60.5 degrees. This means ample opportunities for enjoying a nice sunny day throughout the year.
However, an abundance of sunshine means two things: plenty of UV rays and heat.
No matter the time of year, it’s hard to enjoy the outdoors with the sun beating down. With a retractable awning in San Jose, shade and safety can be had with the simple push of a button.
A retractable awning not only filters harmful UV rays from the skin, but also stops sunlight from reaching the home’s interior, helping to save energy on cooling and heating costs, as well as protecting furniture and other valuables from being damaged due to constant exposure to sunlight.
Just check out all this shade made from one of our San Jose Awnings:
Motorized San Jose Awnings Provide Shade Which Help Protect Furniture from Sun Damage

Although retractable awnings offer perfect protection against the sun, they’re not meant to withstand extreme weather such as heavy rain, wind or snow. Such extreme weather conditions can cause great damage to opened awnings. Because the weather in San Jose and the Bay Area is mild, you don’t have to worry too much about your awnings getting weather damaged, so these San Jose awnings provide an excellent shading solution year-round.
Simple Awning Maintenance
Another advantage of the Bay Area’s favorable climate and lack of extreme weather: awning care is easy.
Only proper care and handling with basic awning cleaning is needed for ERS retractable awnings to be long-lasting. The durable hardware and frames used require only minimal care to keep your motorized awnings operating smoothly for decades.
We source our awning fabrics from Sunbrella, a product that is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Custom, Crazy & Unique Awning Designs
ERS offers hundreds of striking patterns, colors, and styles of awning fabrics. However, for customers who are looking for something extra special, ERS can help add a touch of creativity via specific color themes or business logos for commercial awnings.
