Touch of a Button Convenience:
Motors and electronic accessories are an intricate part of the shading systems we produce. Over 80% of the units we produce have an optional motor and electronics included. The reason is simple, customers gain easy and simple control over the sun with a simple flip of a switch or a touch of a button. This ease and convenience greatly increases both product usage and customer satisfaction. By motorizing your Durasol awning, you will effortlessly extend or retract your shading system automatically.

Electric motors are fully contained within the roller tube of the awning for a clean, concealed installation that blends right into the lines of your home. And they're sealed, too, so they require no maintenance for years of trouble-free service, backed by a 5-year warranty.

Tested and Proven
Somfy motors and electronics, used exclusively by Durasol, are approved by Underwriters Laboratory and have been installed all over the world for almost three decades. Somfy is the acknowledged world leader in the design and manufacture of tubular motors and electronic controls. Somfy and Durasol work together, providing our customers with the highest level of quality products. This commitment is reflected in our high customer satisfaction and referral rates. Every unit we produce is carefully tested at our production facilities before it ships, guaranteeing you performance and value.

Customized to Meet Your Needs
Durasol utilizes a large variety of Somfy motors, allowing us to select the correct unit based on torque and speed for each application. Durasol offers 2 basic series of these motors, the standard series, and the override series. By opting for the override series, you can extend or retract your awning with a hand crank in the event of a power failure.
