Motorized Awnings in Brevard County, FL

Add shade, cut heat, and create a cooler space with custom motorized awnings that add style and comfort!

Motorized Awnings

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.

What Are Motorized Awnings?

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.

Benefits of Motorized Awnings for Florida Homes

Instant Shade and Comfort

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.

Protection From UV Rays

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.

Energy Efficiency

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.

Expand Your Outdoor Living Space

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.

Smart Convenience

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.

Built for Florida’s Climate

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.

Can You Use a Motorized Awning at Night?

Absolutely. Many motorized awnings can be equipped with integrated dimmable LED lighting, allowing you to create a comfortable and inviting outdoor space after sunset. This makes your patio, deck, or pool area just as functional in the evening as it is during the day.

Do Motorized Awnings Require Maintenance?

Motorized awnings are designed to be low maintenance and easy to care for. Occasional rinsing helps remove dirt and pollen, while periodic cleaning with mild soap keeps the fabric looking its best. It’s also recommended to inspect the hardware and moving components occasionally to ensure smooth operation over time.

Are Motorized Awnings Safe from Coastal Areas and Salt Air?

Yes. Our systems feature corrosion-resistant aluminum construction and protective cassette housings that help shield the fabric and hardware from salt air and moisture. This makes them a reliable option for homes near the coast where durability is especially important.

Do Motorized Awnings Work During a Power Outage?

Yes. Most motorized awnings include a built-in manual override feature, allowing you to retract or extend the awning even during a power outage. This ensures you maintain control of the system and can continue protecting your outdoor space from sun or changing weather conditions until power is restored.
