Book Measurement
Control your outdoor shading at the touch of a button with our heavy-duty motorized folding arm and straight-drop awnings. Decorating Decor Interiors installs advanced automated shading systems across Sydney.
Motorized awnings remove the physical strain of manual winding gear handles. Using high-performance Somfy or Becker tubular motors, you can extend or retract large folding arm awnings up to 7 metres wide silently and smoothly. Program daily scenes, control via smartphone app, or integrate them into home automation systems.
We integrate automated motion and wind sensors that monitor physical vibration. During sudden coastal wind gusts, the sensor triggers the motor to automatically retract the folding arms, protecting the canvas fabric and brackets from storm damage.
Our motorized awnings feature heavy-duty powdercoated frames, weather-resistant canvases, and professional electrical connections by licensed technicians.
