Can I motorise a Folding Arm Awning?

Definitely. Premier Shades are Gold Licensed Somfy Motorisation expert, based on the Central Coast. We specialise in the world leading Somfy motor system. This system can be automated via your smart phone and Wi-Fi devises. We can organise the Somfy Electrical Services to connect power to your folding arm awning (fees apply) which will extend your Somfy motor warranty from 5 to 7 years. Alternatively you can use your own electrician.

How does it go in the wind?

Premier Shades Folding Arm Awnings are predominately used for Sun protection on the Central Coast. They are not designed for strong wind of greater than 50km an hour. If you are concerned about the wind in your area, consider getting one of our Somfy sensors. A motion sensor will detect when the wind is too extreme and automatically retract a motorised folding arm awning away in its cradle.

How do I clean?

To clean a folding arm awning on the Central Coast you need to remove sea salt, dust, bird poo and ingrained dirt from the fabrics and components with a gentle hosing. Doing this every 3-6 month will extend the life of the look and product. Never use soap, bleach, solvents or cleaning fluids as they may damage the coating on the fabric. It is best to clean on a sunny day as its important to never roll the fabric away wet.

We offer a free NO PRESSURE measure and quote with a trained window furnishing consultant inside your home or office.
