The selection of a motorized or a manual retractable awning primarily depends on the homeowner’s budget, tastes, and automation comfort level. At SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED we offer both types of products to our customers.

With a sturdy aluminum frame, retractable awnings from SBF are ideal for providing outdoor shade. The reinforced frame and water-resistant polyester fabrics with PU coating make the awning superior in material and excellent in workmanship. The awning can be easily mounted on the wall with the included accessories. Our awning will create a nice and cool place in your patio and protect you from the UV rays. Enjoy the beauty and protection with this awning at a leisurely afternoon.

Motorized Retractable Awnings

Conversely, people who lean toward home automation might prefer to purchase a motorized retractable awning. These awnings take less time and effort to open and close, which make them attractive to elderly or disabled homeowners. Studies show that outdoor spaces with motorized retractable awnings are used up to four times as often as those under their manual counterparts — arguably because of the perceived ease of operation.

The basic structure of a motorized retractable awning is also different from that of a manual retractable awning. Instead of vertical support members, motorized versions have telescoping arms which extend and retract as the awning is opened or closed. This design provides a cleaner and more linear look for the awning, which tends to blend better with more modern home decor. Motorized awnings can also be equipped with sensors for wind where your awning will automatically retract back in if a quick storm comes through or they even now have sun sensors where the awning will come out on a bright sunny day to keep an area of your home cool to save on your monthly energy bill.
