Flexibility, Strength & Durability

Our designers and engineers work together to blend state of the art technology with superior aesthetics, resulting in today's Durasol Awnings. The Durasol Awning's strength and durability of our shading systems come from alloyed aluminum components that are vacuum-injection; cast molded, a process that can only be performed in a handful of Foundries throughout the world. The advantage of vacuum injection-cast molding is that it allows us to create beautiful and functional shading systems with consistent quality and unsurpassed strength, unmatched by any other brand of awning. Durasol Awnings are designed to work in harmony with tension weighted arms and a load absorbing torsion bar, allowing the unit to function and adjust gracefully to changing weather conditions. And, because each awning we produce is individually made to compliment your home, it offers you the flexibility to meet your desired needs.

We offer a variety of products that can be mounted on virtually any flat surface, under a soffit, or when limited mounting height is available, can be roof mounted, using specially designed brackets. The roof mount application allows the shading system to be fastened directly into the roof rafters then the brackets are permanently bonded to the shingles, guaranteeing a waterproof seal. An optional hood is also available on most models to protect your awning from the elements when retracted. Over 80% of Durasol Awnings are ordered with an optional tubular motor. We incorporate the world's finest tubular motors and state-of-the-art electronic controls from Somfy. A motorized Durasol Awning provides effortless, push-button operation, allowing you to stop the unit at any desired position. When you desire complete extension or retraction, just touch the control switch and walk away - the unit will stop automatically.
