Imperial
Imperial’s award winning design has been engineered for durability, unsurpassed quality & strength. Each imperial is custom manufactured to provide a fully retractable product that is easy to operate, maintenance free & self storing when not in use. Making outdoor living inviting & safe from the sun’s harmful uv rays. The front profiles incorporated in imperial awnings provide superior strength against bowing and deflection due to it’s complex inner design while still contouring aesthetically to the unit. The strength in aluminum is not in size but in the complexity of the shape and the wall thickness. The cable system used ina ll imperial awnings are a patented poly coated steel belt. These belts are made of flexible steel cables sealed in a uv-resistant poly carbon. This enables the smooth movement of these arms while eliminating wear on the casting components, and prolonging the life of the arms. The internal springs in the arms keep the fabric tight and have been stress tested!

Imperial / Marcesa
It is the only distinctive retractable patio awning that has a center beam stabilizer bar that runs length wise giving a “hip roof” shape when extended. This carefully researched design feature makes this marcesa™ model more spacious, stronger and more stable in the wind. The fabric is kept tighter and there is less sagging, while also offering a more effective shield from direct low sunlight. The increased slope to the front half of the awning ensures more headroom while enhancing the beauty of the outdoor living room.
Imperial with Adjustable Valance
The imperial valance, unique to the imperial system is available on both the imperial and the imperial marcesa™ awnings. The imperial adjustable valance is contained in a cassette tucked neatly behind the standard valance when retracted. When desired, this unique feature allows the valance to be extended to whatever length is required up to 5 feet to reduce glare off of water or direct afternoon sun. The imperial adjustable valance can be made with the same fabric as on top of the awning or ferrari soltis 86 (which has 14% light penetration) or ferrari soltis92 (which has 8% light penetration). These speciality designed fabrics allow visibility out while permitting filtered light to enter in without the annoying glare.
