What happens to a motorized awning in the wind?
It comes in on its own. A weather station reads the sun and the wind, and the control system retracts the awning when the wind picks up, whether or not anyone is home.
Shade That Follows the Sun Outside.
Exterior roller shades and retractable awnings, wind-aware and scened with the house.
The same terrace, in ivory or in sun.
The cloth sets the light beneath it: ivory keeps the terrace bright and soft, a warm yellow turns the shade to gold.
Three ways to shade a terrace.
Motorized awning installation is one answer of three. The terrace, the angle of the sun and the view decide which.
Exterior roller shades
- Where
- Pergola sides, loggias, walls of glass
- Shades
- Low sun from the side
- Wind
- Raised by the weather station
- Control
- The same scenes as the shades inside
Retractable awning
- Where
- Over a terrace or a balcony
- Shades
- High midday sun
- Wind
- Retracted by the weather station
- Control
- Keypad, app or schedule
Fabric-roof pergola
- Where
- A terrace roof on its own posts
- Shades
- Sun overhead, through the day
- Wind
- Read by the weather station
- Control
- In the same scenes as the house
Sun, wind and the time of day decide.
A weather station on the roof reads the sun and the wind, and the shades answer on their own.
Following the sun
Awning and shades follow the sun across the terrace, from morning to evening.
Wind brings it in
When the weather station reads rising wind, the awning retracts on its own.
One scene, inside and out
The terrace shade and the shades behind the glass move together, in one scene.
Any keypad, any time
A keypad, the app or a schedule lowers or raises it whenever you like.
The questions buyers ask first.
Can outdoor and indoor shades share a scene?
Yes. Outdoor shades and awnings join the scenes you already use indoors, so one touch can shade the terrace and soften the light behind the glass together.
How are outdoor shades controlled day to day?
Mostly they look after themselves, following the sun and the wind. When you want them, they answer to the same keypads, app and schedules as every shade in the house.
