When some people hear the word “awnings”, their first reaction might be, ‘Awnings? Awnings x’tahbat?’. For others, it sparks images of cool drinks on the patio while basking in the shade against the hot summer sun. But, believe it or not, sunshades are not just for the summer — they’re the versatile, all-weather solution that every Maltese homeowner should look into. If you have an open balcony, roof, patios or small garden, here’s why a PVC awning could be your next best investment.
We Maltese love our outdoor spaces – balconies, terraces, and rooftops are made for entertaining.
But in winter, they tend to be left empty. A PVC awning transforms these areas into usable spaces, no matter the weather. So even when the BBQ season seems far away, you can still sip your coffee or enjoy a quiet moment outside without worrying about a sudden downpour.
PVC awnings aren’t just about keeping the sun out – they’re your trusty guard against rain, wind, and whatever else Malta’s unpredictable weather throws at you.
One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s pouring with strong winds, but your awning can handle it all! It’s like an umbrella for your home, except you don’t have to worry about it flying off when the wind picks up.
Another benefit that might not immediately be made obvious is that strategically placed PVC awnings help keep your space warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This is because they act as a barrier against the elements, blocking out the majority of sunlight or harmful UV as well as helping to insulate your home from heat loss or gain.
Let’s be real though, you’ll still use the AC in summer because Maltese heat is no joke. But with a PVC awning, you’ll use it a bit less, and that means savings on your energy bill. Now that’s something every homeowner can get behind!
Wind tends to carry more than just a cool breeze—leaves, dust, and random debris often get blown into your outdoor areas.
A PVC awning acts as a shield, keeping your space cleaner and saving you from constantly sweeping or clearing up after every gusty day.
Maltese rain doesn’t just drizzle—it pours. With a PVC awning, your balcony or courtyard stays dry, so you don’t have to run inside every time the sky opens up. It’s all about keeping your outdoor space functional, rain or shine.
