The BRAVO™ awning is a semi-cassette retractable awning system where the roller with fabric top is enclosed by the top and bottom profiles, leaving only the arms and valance exposed when the awning is retracted. The semi-cassette protects the fabric top from dirt and debris, the elements and wildlife. A specially designed mechanism of the arm shoulder forces the front bar to pull into the cassette, forming a tight enclosure that prevents unwelcomed creatures from making your awning their home.

• Awning frame is finished with White or Black powder coating
• Backed by a 5-year warranty
• Each awnings is manufactured to our client’s specification with custom widths between 6’2″ and 19’9″ wide (in 1″ increments)

Drop arm awnings are our most popular model for shading windows. They are retractable, thus giving you the option to shade the entire window or just part of it. Drop arms can be motorized or manually operated; for higher installations, we suggest a motorized operation.

The arms on the drop arm awning, when extended, determine the length of the projection and the angle of the fabric.

Installing a drop arm or basket awning can save you money. Studies have shown that an awning over your window can reduce indoor temperature by as much as 8° and reduce heat loss by 12°.

The Rolling Pergola is a cassette style awning designed to cover large outdoor spaces. As a single unit, you can cover an area up to 23′ wide and 20′ deep. For wider areas, multiple units can be installed side by side with an optional rain gutter. Rolling Pergola can withstand winds up to 50 km/h. Guide rails have integrated gas cylinders that keep the fabric under tension. When the system is fully extended, you can further tighten the fabric using a special fabric locking mechanism. Rolling Pergola is suitable for both sun and rain coverage and requires less than a 15-degree slope for water runoff. Optional wall connection profile is available to prevent water access behind the cassette.

The frame is available in White, Sand, Bronze and Black finishes. Rolling Pergola comes equipped with a Somfy motor.

LOUVERED PERGOLA is a fairly new product to the Canadian market. Components for this system are manufactured in Belgium by BRUSTOR. It features sturdy aluminum construction with large 210mm (8.25″) louveres. The movement of the louveres is controlled by a linear motor and Somfy remote. By rotating the louvers you can adjust the amount of incoming sunlight. A range of adjustments is 0 to 135 degrees. LOUVERED PERGOLA is highly resistant to wind and rated up to 120 km/h. Standard configuration comes with 4 posts, integrated pole supports and rain gutters along all sides. When the louvers are closed, gutters catch the rain and make it drain directly into vertical posts. Multiple modules can be coupled together along the width or projection to achieve greater coverage.

ZIP screens can be integrated into the frame between 2 posts. All screens are operated with RTS ALTUS motors and completed with screen fabric.

LED lighting can be incorporated into the frame and louveres.

Maximum dimensions for a single module (4 posts 1 roof element): 7.0m (23’0″) wide 4.0m (13’1″) deep or 6.0m (19’8″) wide 4.5m (14’9″) deep. If ordered with ZIP screens, maximum dimensions are as follows: 6.0m (19’8″) wide 4.0m (13’1″) deep

We offer a wide variety of stationary awnings (please see diagram above). Stationary awning frames are welded using galvalume profiles. Fabric tops are made from a marine grade solution dyed acrylic fabric and stretched across the frame using lacing method. Each frame is made to measure. Stationary awnings are popular with businesses and some residential applications when customers are looking for year-round protection.

To make commercial awnings stand out, you can consider adding graphics. Our SGS machine can apply custom graphics (multicolour logos or plain text) to the acrylic fabric. This advanced heat transfer technology bonds thermal film and acrylic fabric together, resulting in brilliant images and long lasting performance.
