Awnings are a simple enough concept. They provide shade and cooling.  Awnings have been around forever, but they have a stigma of sorts, as being bland, boring and for an “older generation”. Well, not anymore. Welcome to the awning of the 21st century, brought to you by our friends at SunPro.

Whether you’re shading a patio, deck, or windows, awnings offer both style and functionality.  Now, they offer style and color to any outdoor area.  Thanks to SunPro and Sunbrella, awnings have been reborn.   

These awnings are available in a wide range of materials and colors, allowing homeowners to choose options that complement their home’s design while providing critical protection from the sun.  All SunPro awnings are motorized, and come with LED lights. 

Key Advantages of Motorized Awnings

1. Energy Efficiency: By blocking direct sunlight from hitting windows or outdoor spaces, motorized awnings help reduce the indoor temperature of homes and businesses. This can lead to lower air conditioning costs, making them an eco-friendly and budget-conscious investment.

2. Convenience and Flexibility: Just like motorized screens, motorized awnings can be controlled remotely. With motorized systems, you can adjust the awning with ease to provide more or less shade throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky. This flexibility ensures optimal comfort, no matter the time of day.  Motorized awnings also come with a sensor for wind and bad weather, making sure your awning doesn’t turn into a balloon :)

3. Enhanced Outdoor Living: A motorized awning can turn an outdoor space into an extension of the home. By providing reliable shade and weather protection, awnings make patios and decks more comfortable and enjoyable year-round, perfect for gatherings or relaxation.
