Instant Shade Relief: Why Waiting for the Heat Is Too Late

March 26, 20254 min read

We all know it’s coming. The Florida heat. The relentless sun. That sticky, can’t-stay-outside-for-more-than-five-minutes kind of day. But here's a question: Why wait for it to hit before you make your patio livable again?

In Florida, summer doesn’t politely knock—it kicks the door down. And by the time most homeowners start looking for relief, the heat has already taken over. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to wait for scorching days to start enjoying your patio.

At Florida Living Outdoor, we help families take back their outdoor space before the weather demands it. And the easiest way to do that? A Brilliance Motorized Awning with SunPro technology.

☀️ Shade at the Push of a Button

One tap on the remote—or your smart home app—and you're under cool, comfortable shade. No more shifting umbrellas. No more dodging glare. Just instant, reliable relief exactly when you need it.

These aren’t your grandparents’ awnings. Brilliance Awnings are sleek, motorized, and fully customizable for your space. They give you complete control of the sun so your family can enjoy the patio all day long.


🛑 Stop Waiting for the Heat to Arrive

Every year, we hear from homeowners who say, “We should’ve done this months ago.” By summer, installation schedules are booked and outdoor spaces go unused.

Why wait?

Spring is the perfect time to act:

  • The weather’s still manageable.

  • You’ll beat the summer rush.

  • You can take advantage of our early bird specials.

And let’s be honest—there’s nothing better than being the only house on the block ready for that first hot weekend.


🌬️ Made for Florida Breezes

With EZ-Pitch Adjustment, you can change the angle of your awning anytime to block that sneaky low sun. Want even more peace of mind? Add a wind sensor, and your awning will automatically retract during high gusts.

From sunny days to breezy afternoons, these awnings are engineered for Florida—from coast to coast.


🏡 Affordable Comfort—Without the Commitment of Construction

Unlike pergolas or motorized screens, installing a Brilliance Awning doesn’t require major construction or long wait times. Most installations are done in a day or two. And best of all? It’s one of the most affordable ways to upgrade your backyard.

You get:

  • UV protection

  • Built-in dimmable LED lighting

  • Motorized control with remote or smartphone

  • Stunning Sunbrella® fabric choices

  • Up to 40 feet wide and 12 feet of projection

All starting at a price point far below traditional hardscapes or structures.


🔥The Early Bird Gets the Shade—And Solves These 6 Real Problems

You don’t need to wait for the summer sun to slap you in the face to make a smart decision. Installing a Brilliance Motorized Awning now means you’re acting on the six most common reasons people invest in outdoor shade—before the pain points become overwhelming.


1. Comfort

Pain Point: “It’s too hot to be outside.”
By the time it’s 95° and the patio is roasting, you’ve already lost the battle for comfort. Acting early gives you immediate relief without the sweat, letting you enjoy your space all spring and summer long.


2. Health & Safety

Pain Point: “I’m worried about sun exposure and skin damage.”
Prolonged sun exposure is no joke in Florida. UV damage builds fast, especially for kids and older adults. Sunbrella® fabric in Brilliance Awnings blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your family without sunscreen or shade hacks.


3. Family Time

Pain Point: “We don’t use our outdoor space as much as we want to.”
Most people don’t need more space, they need a reason to use the space they have. A motorized awning turns your patio into a gathering spot, giving your family a reason to come outside—morning, noon, or night.


4. Aesthetics & Lifestyle

Pain Point: “Our backyard doesn’t feel inviting.”
An exposed slab of concrete isn’t exactly cozy. A Brilliance Awning adds instant elegance and structure to your patio, turning it into a true extension of your home. With built-in LED lighting and a huge selection of fabric styles, it’s a design statement too.


5. Financial Value

Pain Point: “I want to improve my space but I can’t afford a pergola or outdoor remodel.”
We get it. Not everyone wants to spend tens of thousands on a pergola or motorized screens. A Brilliance Awning delivers premium comfort at a fraction of the cost, with a faster turnaround and fewer construction headaches.


6. Convenience & Control

Pain Point: “It’s too much work to manage shade out here.”
Umbrellas blow over. Pop-up tents collapse. Manual awnings are awkward. Brilliance Awnings offer one-touch motorized operation, smart home integration, and optional wind sensors—so your shade works with you, not against you.


💡 Pro Tip from Florida Living Outdoor:

Don’t wait for discomfort to force your hand.
Plan smart, act early, and enjoy a full season of shade, safety, and smiles.
