4 good reasons to choose electric patio awnings

Keep cool inside

During stifling summer heat, your terrace’s retractable awning opens.

The shade it produces protects your furniture and plants.

Your house stays cool inside. ​

Control remotely

Your teenagers are alone at home with their friends.
A storm blows in.

From your smartphone, you close your terrace awning in one tap.

No need to wonder and worry if the kids will think about it.

Command by voice

To take full advantage of your terrace even in the evening, a single command creates exactly the right ambiance.

Say "evening scene" to your smart speaker, and the patio awning opens to insulate from cooler evening temperatures, the lights switch on and the music starts playing.

You can also launch the scene with a tap on your smartphone.

Manage outdoor comfort

Enjoy your outdoor at all times, even during the hottest hours.

Associated to a sun sensor, your electric awning closes or opens automatically to ensure that your terrace is always comfortable, both at lunch and during long summer evenings. 

Enjoy the benefits of smart awnings!

Choose the right patio awning for your project

Somfy helps you to realise your outside awnings installation

Somfy motors make your awning electrically operated. Our motors are suitable for installation on most manual awnings available on the market, but can of course also be integrated directly into a new sun shade.

We have a wide range of motors, each with their specific properties and areas of application.

To choose the right motor for your awning, we recommend that you contact a local Somfy dealer. They can explain exactly what are the benefits of eletric patio awnings and how to select the right automation technology.

Suitable for most types of patio awnings

Full cassette awning

The housing of the awning, also called the cassette, can be closed completely. Your awning is therefore optimally protected against wind and weather. The awning arms also disappear completely into the housing.

Semi-cassette awning

The awning fabric falls under the top of the housing when the awning is folded. he articulated arms are then outside the cassette. At the bottom, the cassette is (partially) open. 

Folding arm awning

The open construction means that the fabric and folding arms are exposed to weather influences. This type of awning can be placed well under an overhanging roof, so that it is still protected against the weather.

Awning with roll-up valance

In addition to the central fabric, this awning with folding arm has a valance. This is a second fabric, with its own motor, located on the front frame. Operate this fabric separately to provide extra protection from light and heat to your terrace and home.

Lateral arm awning

Awnings with locks are mostly installed in private buildings. The locks are fixed manually.
