More about Retractable Awnings

Our custom retractable awnings are available in many styles, patterns and methods of operation.

When choosing the perfect awning for your residential or commercial space, we recommend a motorized option. Motorized retractable awnings allow you easier access to lift and raise your awning, schedule your awning, and control them from virtually anywhere. Motorized shading solutions such as this also lowers the everyday wear and tear which creates a longer life span.

FAQs

Retractable Awnings FAQ's

How does a retractable awning work?

Retractable awnings are equipped with a manual or motorized mechanism that allows them to extend and retract. Manual awnings are operated by a hand-crank, while motorized ones use an electric motor controlled by a switch or remote. Some advanced models even come with sensors that automatically retract the awning based on weather conditions.

Are retractable awnings waterproof?

Most retractable awnings are water-resistant but not completely waterproof. They can handle light rain showers without any issues. However, during heavy rainfall, some water might seep through the fabric seams or collect on the surface. It’s essential to retract the awning during heavy rain to prevent any potential damage.

Can retractable awnings withstand strong winds?

Most retractable awnings are designed to withstand moderate winds, typically up to around 20-25 mph (32-40 km/h). However, it’s essential to retract the awning during windy conditions or storms to prevent damage. Some modern retractable awnings come with wind sensors that automatically retract the awning when strong winds are detected.

Do retractable awnings require maintenance?

Yes, regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your retractable awning. Keep the awning clean, lubricate moving parts if necessary, and inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. Additionally, retract the awning during harsh weather conditions to prevent unnecessary strain on the structure.

Can I use a retractable awning in all seasons?

Retractable awnings are suitable for use in spring, summer, and early fall when weather conditions are milder. However, in regions with harsh winters or heavy snowfall, it is advisable to retract the awning and store it properly during the winter months to protect it from damage.

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.

Shades by design had to remove and then reinstall my shades ( bought from them) due to my having hurricane glass installed everywhere. The technician , Renato, was terrific, efficient and did a spectacular job, leaving everywhere he worked immaculate. They’re not inexpensive but they are very good.

We just had black-out shades installed in our bedrooms. Hanna Mourani was friendly, professional and kind. The initial visit was for measurements, which took only minutes. During the second visit, he confirmed the initial measurements, and brought his team member Pedro to ensure that everything was ready for the installation (also very quick). Today the shades are in, and they look great. Pedro did a fantastic job. He even removed and disposed of the old window treatments, along with cleaning up his work space. Thank you Hanna for making this processes so easy!

Shades By Design was amazing. Their team installed 3 full bedrooms worth of shades in just one day by working efficiently and professionally. The entire team was very kind and worked flawlessly. Will definitely hire them for all future shade work! Couldn’t say enough good things about this company.

The people I dealt with were professional and courteous. The installation had to be postponed a few times due to my scheduling conflicts, but the agent was patient and ultimately the installation took place on the day and specified.
