Why motorize an awning?

Motorization of retractable awnings is generally done for convenience and safety.

With a push of a button from the inside comfort of your home, your awning will extend or retract as desired. Additionally, automatic controls can be added which would extend the awning when the sun strikes the sensor thus protecting your furnishings from fading and lessening the heat gain in your home. Automatic controls also can provide a safety factor by retracting the awning when dangerous winds are detected.

Other electric options available include:

Remote controls

Weatherproof outdoor controls

Group controls allowing multiple awnings to be controlled at one time.

"Smart house" interface controls
