4 good reasons to motorise your awnings:

Somfy - wind sensor

Let sensors control your blinds

With the help of sun and wind sensors, the position of your blinds is automatically adjusted to the weather conditions. If the sun shines directly on your house, for example, your electric awnings automatically lower. If the wind starts to blow, your awnings retract.

Protect fabric and construction

Somfy has developed a motor system that always retracts your awning fully into the cassette, preventing water damage and discolouration. The tensioning system also pulls the fabric of your automatic awning tight for a sleek result.

Why electric awnings?

Your terrace is where you spend most of your time in summer. During languid summer days, you like to read a good book in the hammock, in the evening you enjoy the sound of the crickets on your terrace.

To make your terrace even more comfortable, automatic awnings are a handy and versatile addition. With a retractable awning, for example, you can ensure that your terrace is always comfortable, at half past one at lunchtime and during long, warm summer evenings.

An electric awning is the perfect addition to your terrace.

The right motor for every automatic awning

Somfy has a wide range of motors, each with their own specific features and areas of application. The choice of motor depends, for example, on the size of your awning and your wishes regarding the operation and speed at which you want to control it.

To choose the right awning motor for your awning, visit our page on motors for awnings.

Types of electric awnings

Somfy - Awning with closed cassette

Electric awning with closed cassette

The casing of the awning, also called the cassette, can be completely closed. Your awning is thus optimally protected against wind and weather. The arms of the awning disappear completely into the housing as well.

Somfy - awning with semi-cassette

Electric awning with semi-cassette

The awning fabric falls below the top of the casing when the awning is folded in. The retractable arms are outside the cassette in this position. At the bottom, the cassette is (partially) open.

Somfy - Awning with open construction

Awning with open construction

The open construction exposes the fabric and the retractable arms to weather influences. In the Northern climate, this type of awning is best placed under an overhanging roof, for example, so that it is still protected from the weather.

Somfy - awning with flounce

Electric awning with flounce

Besides the central fabric, this awning with a retractable arm has another flounce. This is a second piece of fabric, with its own motor, located at the front frame. This fabric is controlled separately to provide extra protection from light and heat to your patio and home.

Sensors for sun, wind, rain and temperature

Don't let the weather surprise you!

Away from home and the weather changes…

In most countries, the weather can change in a few moments. One minute you are sitting on your terrace in the sunshine, the next a strong wind picks up. If you forgot to retract the awning when leaving home, the consequences can be quite unpleasant, resulting in damage. With our climate sensors, you choose for more security and peace of mind.

Lighting and heating

Enjoy your terrace or balcony for longer

In the evening, you can create a cosy atmosphere by automatically lowering your awning. Your terrace becomes an extension of the warm atmosphere inside. Even when it gets colder or a little too dark, Somfy has a smart solution. An electric awning can be extended with a Somfy heater and lighting, so you can linger long into the evening on a comfortable terrace.
