Features of some of our retractable awnings |
Benefits for YOU |
|
Arms |
All arm parts under stress are made of forged aluminum including the shoulder, elbow and arm components. All arms 8’7” and above use three heavy duty steel springs |
Forged aluminum arm components are stronger than all die castings or extrusions resulting in a stronger awning against the elements. Three heavy duty steel springs provide better arm tension and longer arm life. |
Flexibility |
We use only the strongest materials, yet they are engineered for flexibility with a unique two way movable front arm attachment. |
Our unique two way movable front arm attachment relieves strain and increases flexibility and strength in the arm which reduces wind damage. |
Elbow |
We use twin stainless high quality aircraft cable. Hinges are triple angled with an elliptical cable radius. |
Twin cables are far superior to a single cable, as cable wear is reduced, allowing better arm and fabric tension. The elliptical cable radius increases tension as the awning extends. The angles help keep the fabric from dragging on the arms. |
Profiles & Paint |
All extrusions and components are exclusively made of the highest quality aluminum. The parts are first chromate treated and then electrostatically powder coated. |
Aluminum extrusions are strong, yet will not corrode over time like steel. This equates to a longer lasting awning. Chromating gives better powder adhesion, holds up better against the elements, resisting cracking and peeling. |
Gears |
Our awnings use a heavy duty German 4:1 ratio bevel gear with a stop. A 13:1 gear is used on larger widths. |
The 4:1 gear is the most efficient gear made. This gear minimizes the time and effort needed in operating a manual awning. The stop eliminates fabric damage due to over rolling. |
Thread |
All fabrics are sewn with Tenara thread. This thread is manufactured from GORE-Tex, and is clear and nearly invisible. |
Tenara thread is made of Teflon and will not deteriorate from exposure to the elements. The clear thread is nearly invisible on most fabric colors. |
We offer awning projections up to 17 feet.
We offer seven different frame colors and hundreds of fabric colors.

Power Shades (also called motorized blinds, motorized shades, electric blinds, motorized drapes or electric Power Sun Shades drapes) are the perfect solution for maintaining shade and comfort in your home or office without projecting from the structure. Power Shades are low profile vertical drop shades which dramatically decrease heat and glare caused by the sun. Power Shades installed by Sullivan’s Awnings are the ideal solution for solar protection, shading or total black out by controlling or blocking the sunlight that penetrates your windows and doors. Power Shades significantly reduce indoor temperature while lowering cooling costs by blocking the sun before it enters your home. Our fabrics effectively block up to 90% of solar heat rays when installed on the exterior of the window. Depending on the type of fabric used, you may realize a potential reduction in air conditioning costs. Our fabrics also protect your furniture, curtains and floor coverings. Imagine sitting at your computer or watching TV without being disturbed by too much sunlight and still having a view of the outside.
We offer only the best mesh and acrylic fabric for your shades and for your specific application.
Sullivan’s Awnings Power Shades are available in hundreds of fabric colors and seven standard frame colors (custom frame colors are available on request). Operation can be either manual or motorized using remote radio technology or hard-wired with a wall switch.
