Shade that extends and retracts at the push of a button.
Retractable patio awnings are the heart of what we build. Every unit is custom crafted with a corrosion-resistant, satin-anodized or powder-coated extruded aluminum frame — never mill-finish aluminum, which oxidizes, or steel, which rusts. Choose from over 400 fabric colours in Sunbrella or Sattler / Ferrari Soltis acrylic, all water-repellent, tear-resistant and colour-fast.
A light, uncomplicated European-style profile with a sleek, compact front bar. The Marcesa Plus adds a centre-beam “hip roof” shape for more headroom, tighter fabric and better low-angle sun protection. 5-year warranty.
A semi-cassette design that fully encloses the fabric when retracted, protecting it from weather, dirt and moisture year-round. Virtually maintenance-free. Available in standard and Marcesa styles. 5-year warranty.
Our award-winning, heavy-duty line — Imperial, Imperial Marcesa, Imperial Adjustable Valance (extends up to 5 ft to cut glare) and Imperial Crossover (maximum projection from a minimum width, e.g. a 10 ft unit projecting 11'6"). 10-year warranty.
Engineered in Germany to European norm standards and manufactured with Canadian ingenuity — the first system purpose-built for the North American market rather than adapted to it. Pitch-adjustable up to 19 ft, with a Royal Cassette option for full fabric enclosure. 10-year warranty.
No wall or structure required. A double-sided motorized shading system covering up to 360 sq ft, available in 13', 15'6" and 18' widths with 20' projection — operated by remote or smartphone app. Ideal for detached patios, pool decks and commercial spaces.
Every retractable arm is built from a nine-cable stainless steel belt, fully sealed in a UV-resistant PVC coating — tested to 60,000 cycles (10x a standard chain or cable) and rated to a 700kg maximum load, twice what's ever actually used. Arms are computer-matched in pairs for equal tension and assembled by robotics for consistency. It's the reason a 10-year warranty is possible in the first place.

Every awning is custom sized and configured, so pricing depends on width, projection, fabric and motorization. Book a free shop-at-home visit and we'll give you an exact, no-obligation quote.
Manual crank operation is standard, reliable and lower-cost. Motorized units add push-button or app control and can pair with wind/sun sensors for automatic retraction — most popular on wider units and for anyone who wants the awning to retract itself before a storm.
Retractable fabric awnings should be retracted for winter; our aluminum and flat-roof structures are built to stay up year-round. We'll walk you through the right approach for your specific installation.
Most residential installations are completed in a single day once your awning is manufactured. Manufacturing lead time varies by line and season — ask us for a current estimate.
