How to select the right motorised system for your patio awnings?
There are several types of awnings capable of effectively protecting your patio:
1. Standard awnings. The articulated arms and fabric remain exposed when the awning is closed. For these models, Somfy recommends you use the Sunilus io motorised system.
2. Cassette awnings. The articulated arms and fabric are protected from UV and moisture within a sealed cassette.
3. Semi-cassette awnings. Only the fabric is protected within the sealed cassette. For awnings with cassettes, Somfy recommends you use the Sunea io motorised system.
4. Awnings with a roll-up valance. Extra fabric is integrated into the outside bar holding the fabric. It provides protection when the sun is low in the sky. For this type of awning, Somfy recommends you use the Sunea Screen 40 io motorised system.
Patio awnings checklist
The points to check before selecting a motorised system:
1. Are the walls of your house in good enough condition to be able to support a solidly attached motorised system?
2. To extend the life of your fabric and protect it against bad weather, Somfy recommends you select an awning with a cassette.
3. Consider checking the frame strength. The frame’s arms should move in a fluid motion without twisting.
4. Make sure to get a quality fabric that is UV and weather resistant, and easy to maintain.
5. Consider installing weather sensors for your patio that automatically open and close your awnings.
