Motorized Awnings, Screens & Pergolas
Add convenience and automation to outdoor living systems with motorized operation. Many of our awnings, retractable screens and pergolas can be equipped with motors, along with options such as sun sensors, wind sensors and smart-home integration. Certain larger or heavier products are offered exclusively with motorized operation.
Motorization for Convenience, Protection & Control
Motorization makes outdoor shade products easier to operate while adding useful automated functions. Instead of manually adjusting an awning or screen, users can control compatible systems with the push of a button, remote or connected device.
Optional sensors can provide another level of automation. Wind sensors can trigger compatible retractable awnings to close when conditions require it, while sun sensors can activate retractable screens or adjust compatible pergola systems in response to sunlight.
Motorized exterior screens can also help manage solar heat gain by deploying when direct sunlight reaches windows. When paired with compatible controls and sensors, automated operation can help reduce heat entering the building and lessen cooling requirements.
Pacific Wholesale Colorado supplies motorization solutions from established manufacturers such as Somfy for many of our product systems. Compatible products may also be integrated with smart-home automation for convenient centralized control.
For dealers, builders and installation professionals, motorization provides an opportunity to offer customers greater convenience, automation and control as part of a complete outdoor living project.
Frequently Asked Questions
