Creative Canvas has qualified technicians to install electric motors for window and door awnings that automatically extend or retract to provide shade, privacy and security. Your coverings can be motorised for sun and/or wind sensitivity and can be operated by remote control. We use and recommend Somfy brand tubular motors and control systems for awnings, blinds, curtains, shutters and screens. Somfy is the world leader and has over 25 years of experience in the manufacture of control systems. Somfy systems have a 5 year warranty. Motorisation makes an attractive option that eliminates the use of cranks or tapes that may look unattractive. The motor is whisper quiet. When do I motorise? difficult or unreachable windows when your awning is more than 6 metres wide for the aged or infirm safety - build a safety feature into your awning with a wind sensor when you want maximum shade protection use a sun sensor
