Thus, the motors provide a wide range of differentiation regarding their power, taking into consideration the great variety of sizes, from 2-3 m² for balconies up to 100 m² designed for restaurant terraces.
The intermediate position of the awning is a natural request from the beneficiaries and this is an integrated function of the motors. Beside the the increase in comfort, the motors have an important role regarding the safety in exploitation. The awnings, due to their construction and field of use, are highly exposed to weather conditions, especially to wind.

Equipped with wind sensors, the majority of the damages caused by the strong air flows can be avoided. Being independent and pre-programed systems, do not need human intervention. The wind sensor combined with a sun sensor, creates a complete system, with no human intervention needed, and provides shade when needed and retracts when there is no need for shade or when weather conditions can cause damages.

The control elements can be chosen from a simple wall-button to the special programmed remote controls or control panels designed for awning systems. The later ones can link whole facade openings and closings in different locations, taken into consideration even the geographical location or the season.
