Motorized Retractable Awnings
Motorized Retractable Awnings
How are Galaxy Draperies awnings in the wind?
Our awnings are built to withstand wind gusts of 55 – 75 mph. Now, just because they have been tested for these weather conditions doesn’t mean they should remain in harsh wind. We recommend retracting your awnings with strong and gusty winds close to these speeds. Most of our models are also designed to be retracted when not in use.
Can an awning help keep the inside of my home cooler?
Yes! Not only will your patio or deck be 20 degrees cooler, but it will also absolutely make your home cooler. By blocking the sun from shining through your windows, you can save money on your energy with less air conditioning. It will also help your carpets, flooring, and artwork from fading.
Is the motor included with my purchase or do I have to purchase it separately?
When you purchase motorized window treatments you do not have to purchase your motor separately. Our motorized, motorized XL, and motorized oasis models are all installed with a quiet Somfy electronic motor. In addition, they come with a remote control included and have a manual override feature if necessary.
