A retractable awning features a water-resistant fabric and aluminum frame, designed to be both durable and stylish. Typically mounted to your house wall, this sturdy structure—often made of extruded aluminum—supports a high-quality acrylic fabric available in a wide variety of colours and patterns. It offers reliable UV protection, resists fading, and its waterproof coating helps prevent mould while withstanding light rain.
Thanks to its retraction system, it easily adapts to your needs. Extend it for shade or retract it to let the sun in—all in a single movement. It’s a smart way to expand your outdoor living space and enjoy the warm season to the fullest.
Our retractable patio awnings are fully customizable:
Add a touch of elegance to your patio and enjoy optimal comfort that reflects your personal style.
Another great feature of the retractable awning is the option to choose between motorized and manual models. Manual awnings come with a hand crank, available in several colours and lengths.
Motorized retractable awnings operate with a remote control or wall switch, depending on your preference. If you choose a motorized retractable model, you’ll also get to pick the colours that best match your deck or backyard.
Whether manual or motorized, a retractable patio awning offers plenty of benefits:
A retractable patio awning brings together functionality and style, transforming your terrace into a welcoming and protected space.
All our fabrics are made of acrylic and polyester to block UV rays and protect you on sunny days. We offer more than 300 colour choices—such as blue and white, green and white, grey and beige, etc—and an array of patterns so you can fully personalize your outdoor space.
Our valance options let you create a unique look for your manual or motorized retractable awning. Choose from over 100 styles, including straight, double, or scalloped designs.
Need new fabric for an existing awning? We’ve got you covered with high-quality replacements.
You can also upgrade your awning with a wind and rain sensor. This feature allows for automatic retraction when the weather takes a turn, with multiple automated settings available.
No, a retractable patio awning is not winter-resistant. It’s a three-season product. However, it doesn’t need to be dismantled in the fall. Simply close your awning when the cold weather arrives.
We recommend covering your motorized retractable awning with a fitted cover for added protection. This also helps keep squirrels and other small animals from nesting inside.
Just remember—never open your retractable awning during the winter. By following these simple tips, you’ll extend the life of your awning and protect your investment.
Beyond aesthetics, a retractable awning is the best way to comfortably enjoy the outdoors. During the day, it acts as a water-resistant UV protector, providing shade and shielding you from strong sun exposure and light summer rain.
In the evenings or cooler seasons, pair your awning with a patio heater and a cozy cover to create the perfect outdoor cocoon. We also offer a full range of accessories to help you get the most from your investment.
