Add shade, cut heat, and create a cooler space with custom motorized awnings that add style and comfort!
Florida’s sunshine makes outdoor living one of the best parts of living along the Space Coast. But intense UV rays, heavy heat, and sudden afternoon storms can make patios and pool decks uncomfortable for much of the day.
Motorized awnings provide a simple solution. With the push of a button, you can extend shade over your patio, reduce heat buildup, and protect outdoor furniture from sun damage.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we install custom motorized awnings for homeowners throughout Brevard County and Indian River County, including Melbourne, Viera, Palm Bay, Cocoa Beach, Sebastian, and Vero Beach.
Our retractable awning systems are designed specifically for Florida’s climate—helping you enjoy your outdoor space more often while keeping your home cooler and more comfortable.

Motorized awnings are retractable shade systems installed above patios, decks, lanais, or outdoor seating areas. Unlike manual awnings, these systems extend and retract using an electric motor that can be controlled with a remote, wall switch, or smart automation.
This allows homeowners to quickly adjust shade throughout the day, blocking harsh sun when needed and retracting the awning when they want full sunlight.
Retractable awnings are especially popular in Florida because they make outdoor living spaces usable even during the hottest parts of the day.
Motorized awnings provide shade at the push of a button, helping keep patios, pool decks, and outdoor seating areas cooler and more comfortable. This allows homeowners to enjoy outdoor dining, relaxing, or entertaining without constantly battling the heat.
High-quality awning fabrics help block harmful UV rays while reducing direct sun exposure on outdoor furniture and seating areas. This added protection helps preserve patio furniture, cushions, and outdoor décor from fading over time.
By shading windows and glass doors, motorized awnings help reduce solar heat entering the home. This can help keep indoor spaces cooler and reduce the strain on your air conditioning system during Florida’s hottest months.
Motorized awnings help turn patios and pool areas into more functional outdoor living spaces. Whether you’re relaxing with family or entertaining guests, adjustable shade makes outdoor areas more enjoyable throughout the day.
Modern motorized awnings can be controlled with remotes, wall switches, smartphone apps, or smart home systems. Many systems also include wind sensors and automated features that make managing shade simple and convenient.
Quality motorized awnings are designed with powder-coated aluminum frames, UV-resistant fabrics, and corrosion-resistant hardware to handle Florida heat, humidity, and coastal conditions. With proper installation and care, they provide long-term durability and reliable performance.
