High Quality Suppliers and Materials

We source our retractable awning components from manufacturers in Germany. We have been importing components and manufacturing retractable awning systems for over 20 years in Canada, and we are proud to supply and install our systems on Vancouver Island. This is very important for innovation, supply chain management and quality control. We are proud to supply Recacril awning fabric which is 100% solution dyed marine grade acrylic fabric. This designer collection is available in a wide variety of solid and striped patterns to satisfy any taste and complement any home’s décor. The Recacril fabric collection is manufactured in Spain at the Recasens mill, which assures the finest quality and exclusive designs for the North American market. Acrylic fabrics are engineered for a substantially longer lifespan when compared to non-acrylic fabrics such as polyester and cotton canvas (used in low-quality awnings). Recacril is warehoused and distributed in Vancouver which makes it quick and easy to obtain for you.

For motorised awnings, we use products from Somfy, a world-renowned motor manufacturer that supports its products with decades of experience, quality control, and constant development. Somfy’s line of awning and shade motors is second to none, and its accessories, such as remote controls and environmental sensors, put it even further ahead of other companies. Mark Tizya is a factory-certified Somfy expert.
