Solair® Pro Lateral Arm
Retractable Awning Systems

The premier shade solution offers a completely custom product from fabric and frame colors to motor and sensor options.

  • Super strength and long-lasting durability is forged into critical aluminum parts like the upper arm attachment and hinges.
  • A corrosion-resistant, high-quality electrostatic powder coated finish protects aluminum frame components.
  • Stainless steel fasteners and cables provide corrosion-resistant and long-life operation.
  • Extruded aluminum front bar attachment, support bar and roller tube are engineered for long-lasting strength and durability against sagging and bowing. Awnings beyond 18 feet wide require center support.
  • Front bar attachment has a dual-action feature that increases flexibility while reducing strain on the awning during a wind gust. The arms and front bar move independently, reducing tension on the awning and wall mounting brackets.
  • Elliptical cable path in the hinge allows for cables to hold tension in the arm springs for consistent operation and a tight fabric appearance.
  • Strong yet flexible triple-angled forged middle hinge is engineered to increase flexibility by allowing each arm to flex independently to absorb the stress of wind gusts.
  • Middle hinge and upper arm attachment sleeve bushings are self-lubricating to provide smooth noise-free operation and wear reduction.
  • All motorized units use Somfy® brand, heavy-duty motors and are available with optional manual override and wireless remote control operation.
  • Fabric damage from over rolling is eliminated by the bevel gear with a built-in stop.
  • Sizes range from 8 to 34 feet wide, with seven folding arm projection sizes from 4 feet 2 inches to 12 feet 6 inches. Custom arm sizes and a narrow width series are available.
  • Adjustable locking awning pitch from 5° to 45° for maximum shade control.
  • Hundreds of woven acrylic and vinyl coated mesh fabric choices, including brands like Sunbrella® and Dickson®, offer customization for any style of home. All are mildew resistant and will hold their color and appearance in any climate for years upon years.
  • Sunbrella® fabrics are recommended as an effective UV protection by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
  • Frame finish available in standard colors of white, desert sand, mocha and brown, as well as over 180 custom colors (allow additional delivery time) to complement any style home.

Options

  • The Eolis 3D WireFree RTS Wind Sensor retracts the awning when it detects the awning moving from harsh wind or vibrations.
  • Somfy® CMO Motor is fully contained within the roller tube of the awning, the electric motor provides a clean, concealed installation.
  • The Sunis WireFree RTS Sun Sensor is powered with an integrated solar cell and uses RTS to automatically extend an awning based on the sun’s intensity.
  • The hand-held transmitter gives complete control of the awning from up to 65 feet away.
  • Suntube® is a unique tubular hood system that protects and fully conceals the fabric. Completely self-storing, it eliminates the need for seasonal removal and storage.

  • The Solair Outrigger System gives retractable awnings added support to withstand most wind and rain conditions.

  • Custom size arms and a narrow width series are available.
