What Are the Fabric Options for Your New Retractable Awning?

Retractable awnings are a smart investment for your home. They offer protection from the sun’s harsh and damaging rays, so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces more comfortably. They also offer shelter from the rain for you, your family, pets, your patio furniture, and even your grilling equipment! Choosing a SunSetter awning from a local authorized dealer is a breeze. They will work with you to select the best model for your home, needs, and budget. After you have chosen your specific SunSetter retractable awning model, you can begin to customize your awning by selecting your fabric and colors. The SunSetter Series awnings feature the SunSetter exclusive woven acrylic fabric or the traditional laminated fabric. The Platinum series, however, features Sunbrella performance fabrics.

SunSetter Exclusive Woven Acrylic Fabric

This woven acrylic fabric is made especially for SunSetter using water repellant, 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric.It is woven using a strand by strand weaving process that creates a rich color in both the solid and vertical stripe design. This woven acrylic fabric also offers protection from 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. The SunSetter Woven Acrylic Fabric is available in both straight and wave valances. 

Traditional Laminated Fabric

The traditional laminated fabrics are 100% waterproof and also block 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. The fabric consists of five layers that feature 2 thick color pigmentation layers, an inner scrim layer for strength, and two layers of clear coating on both the top and bottom. This coating makes the fabric flame, fade, and mildew resistant. Unlike the acrylic fabrics, however, the traditional laminated fabrics are available in the wave valance only.  

Sunbrella Performance Fabric 

Sunbrella Performance Fabric is known for its color retention and cleanability. It is water repellent and resistant to mold, mildew, and fading. The Sunbrella performance fabrics are high in UPF protection from UV rays. Sunbrella performance fabrics can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water, but can also be cleaned with bleach without compromising any of the colors or fade resistance!

SunSetter’s Pro and Pro XL Awnings

You deserve to enjoy your outdoor spaces any time of year! With SunSetter retractable awnings, you can affordably create the outdoor space of your dreams. With so many models to choose from, it is important that you select the model that is right for you and your home. Much like the Motorized and Motorized XL awnings, SunSetter’s Pro and Pro XL awnings come with the beautiful and convenient features that you have come to expect from any quality SunSetter product, with a few distinct differences.

Quality SunSetter Features

Electric Powered

SunSetter’s electric-powered awnings feature the quality performance of Somfy awning motors. With over 50 years of experience, Somfy creates awning motors that allow you to smoothly, quietly, and effortlessly control your motorized awning with remote control. The awning motor is tucked away discreetly in the roller bar for a sleek look with reliable operation. If you lose power, the Motorized and Motorized XL models also feature a manual hand crank override.

Lateral Arm Technology

Lateral Arm technology gives your motorized awning the support it needs without the inconvenience of vertical supports taking up precious space in the outer corners of your deck or patio.

Quality Construction

SunSetter’s Motorized and Motorized XL Awnings feature rust-proof, high-quality aluminum components. A baked-on finish also adds to the durability of its components.

Maximum Protection

You can always count on all of the SunSetter awning models to provide you with protection from the hot sun, UV rays, and light rain showers. Even on the hottest Florida days, you can count on temperatures to be up to 20 degrees cooler under your SunSetter awning. SunSetter’s UV protection earned it a recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Experience the Protection and Versatility of the Weatherbreaker Panel

The Pro and Pro XL awning models feature a Weatherbreaker Panel made of durable woven acrylic fabric. This panel unrolls quickly to give you daytime privacy and protection from the elements. With an easy-to-use hand-crank, you will have a 90% sun filter and wind protection in seconds! The panel drops a full 5 feet but can be rolled down partially to your desired length.
