How to select the right motorized system for your patio awnings?
There are several types of awnings capable of effectively protecting your patio:
- Standard awnings. The articulated arms and fabric remain exposed when the awning is closed. For these models, Somfy recommends you use the Sunilus motorized system.
- Cassette awnings. The articulated arms and fabric are protected from UV and moisture within a sealed cassette.
- Semi-cassette awnings. Only the fabric is protected within the sealed cassette. For awnings with cassettes, Somfy recommends you use the Sunea motorized system.
- 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 motorized system.
