Outdoor shading motorisation
Control your awning, ZIP screen or pergola awning by remote: motorisation makes your shading easier to use.
Review before publication: This text is a draft and the image is illustrative. Confirm the available motors, control systems and compatible outdoor shading products before publication.
The same protection, easier to use
A motor lets you extend and retract your shading without winding a handle or having to reach it. This is particularly useful for large awnings and screens fitted high up.
We motorise new and existing outdoor shading and help you choose controls to suit the way you want to use it.
Remote control, sensors or control from your phone
Motorised outdoor shading can be operated by remote control or a wall switch. Sun and wind sensors can extend an awning in sunshine and retract it in strong winds. Available functions depend on the motor and system, so we check what is possible before recommending a solution.
Features and benefits
Simple operation
Extend and retract your shading at the touch of a button.
Existing shading
We assess whether your awning or screen can be retrofitted with a motor.
Sensor functions
Depending on the system, sun and wind sensors can operate the awning automatically.
Compatible components
The motor, power supply and controls need to work together.
How it works
Describe your shading in the form, ideally including photographs and model details. We assess the installation and recommend a motor and controls before fitting them.
Frequently asked questions
Can an existing awning be motorised?
Often, yes. It depends on the model, construction and condition. Send photographs and model details so we can assess the options.
Will new electrical wiring be needed?
This depends on the location of the power socket and the position of the shading. We discuss this when taking measurements.
