The SUNAIR retractable awning provides
sun when you want it and shade when you need it by simply extending
the awning. Protect you and your family from the sun's harmful rays.
With years of reliable service an awning from SUNAIR becomes an
investment rather than an expense.
How do you know your awning is well built?
The SUNAIR is the finest system on the market. Manufactured with
pride in the USA, it has received important North American TUV approval
for safety and durability. TUV is the only recognized independent
testing laboratory in the world with stringent standards for retractable
awnings. Some products sold in this country are approved in Europe
but not in North America. Before you buy, make sure the product
is TUV approved in the United States.
Every SUNAIR is custom made for your personal application like
size, color and type of operation. Certain standard parameters apply.
With over 25 years experience SUNAIR is an innovator in the retractable
awning industry. We have engineered the most durable yet flexible
awning system on the market using the strongest materials and most
sophisticated arm design.
Our comittment to quality is unsurpassed. Only the finest materials
and workmanship are used to produce an awning superior in quality
and strength. The SUNAIR'S strength comes from the use of forged
aluminum components. This is the most advanced technology available
to retractable awnings today. Our competition uses die-casted or
vacuum injection castings. Forging our parts is slightly more expensive
but is well worth it knowing we are delivering a product superior
in strength and consistency. The maximum 13 ft projection arm awnings
can now be made with a continuous safety margin.
Features and Options
With a SUNAIR retractable awning you can have sun when you want
it or shade when you need it simply by extending or retracting
the awning. With our awning you eliminate any unsightly poles
or permanent frame work.
Reduce sunlight and glare through your windows by as much as
94%.
Reduce heat gain through your windows by as much as 77%
At your command you can easily extend or retract your awning either
at the push of a button or with the standard hand crank.
On cloudy days when you are not using the awning it stays retracted
against the wall allowing light to penetrate unlike permanent fixed
awnings which block light on dark gloomy days.
Unlike stationary awnings there is no need for seasonal take-down
and re-installation. The awning stays retracted on the wall out of
harms way. A Sunair retractable awning is practically maintenance
free.

Arms
 |
All SUNAIR arm parts under stress
are made of forged aluminum. All arms 8'7" and above use three
heavy duty steel springs. All projections up to 6'11" use two
steel springs. |
Forged aluminum is far superior than
castings, and 13' projection arms can be made with a continuous
safety margin. Heavy duty steel springs are more durable and
provide longer life under maximum tension. |
|
Flexibility
 |
SUNAIR's arm uses the strongest materials
on the market, yet is engineered for flexibility with a unique
two-way movable front arm attachment. |
A two-way movable front coupling
relieves strain, increases the flexibility in the arm and helps
to reduce the possibility of wind damage. This feature is unique
in the industry. |
|
Hinge
 |
SUNAIR's hinge uses twin galvanized
tinned steel cables over a specially engineered elliptical-shaped
radius. The hinge is triple angled. |
Twin cables are far superior than
a single cable. Cable wear is reduced to a minimum and allows
heavier tension in the arm. The elliptical-shaped cable radius
increases tension in the springs as the arm is extended where
mostly needed. The angles in the hinge allow each arm to flex
independently, thus absorbing stress during wind gusts helping
eliminate damage. |
|
Gears
 |
SUNAIR uses a heavy duty 3:1 ratio
bevel gear with a stop. A 14:1 ratio gear is used on larger
widths. |
The 3:1 ratio gear is the most efficient
gear made. It minimizes the time and effort in retracting and
extending the awning. The stop eliminates fabric damage which
could occur from over-rolling past the projection of the arm. |
|
Brackets
 |
All SUNAIR brackets are made of heavy
duty extruded aluminum electrostatically powder coated to the
highest standards (U.S. Pat. #4,641,805). |
An extruded part is far superior
and stronger than die castings or permanent mold casting. Electrostatic
powder coating is more resistant to cracking and chipping than
wet lacquer. All SUNAIR components and extrusions are powder
coated. |
