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.

"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."

"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"

"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."

"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
