We use motors and other automation features supplied by Somfy of France with our awnings, although other motors are also compatible with our systems. Automation options include the choice between hard wired or remote control and the inclusion of sun, wind and timer systems to automate the retraction of awnings.

Somfy products are backed by a 5 year warranty
