Motorized Awnings in Brevard County, FL

Add shade, cut heat, and create a cooler space with custom motorized awnings that add style and comfort!

Motorized Awnings

Florida’s sunshine makes outdoor living one of the best parts of living along the Space Coast. But intense UV rays, heavy heat, and sudden afternoon storms can make patios and pool decks uncomfortable for much of the day.

Motorized awnings provide a simple solution. With the push of a button, you can extend shade over your patio, reduce heat buildup, and protect outdoor furniture from sun damage.

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we install custom motorized awnings for homeowners throughout Brevard County and Indian River County, including Melbourne, Viera, Palm Bay, Cocoa Beach, Sebastian, and Vero Beach.

Our retractable awning systems are designed specifically for Florida’s climate—helping you enjoy your outdoor space more often while keeping your home cooler and more comfortable.

What Are Motorized Awnings?

Motorized awnings are retractable shade systems installed above patios, decks, lanais, or outdoor seating areas. Unlike manual awnings, these systems extend and retract using an electric motor that can be controlled with a remote, wall switch, or smart automation.

This allows homeowners to quickly adjust shade throughout the day, blocking harsh sun when needed and retracting the awning when they want full sunlight.

Retractable awnings are especially popular in Florida because they make outdoor living spaces usable even during the hottest parts of the day.

Benefits of Motorized Awnings for Florida Homes

Instant Shade and Comfort

Motorized awnings create shade at the push of a button, helping keep patios and outdoor seating areas cooler and more comfortable.

Protection From UV Rays

High-quality awning fabrics block a significant portion of harmful UV radiation, helping protect outdoor furniture and reducing sun exposure.

Energy Efficiency

By shading windows and doors, awnings can reduce heat entering your home and improve indoor comfort during hot Florida summers.

Expand Your Outdoor Living Space

Awnings transform patios and pool decks into comfortable outdoor rooms where you can relax, dine, or entertain guests.

Smart Convenience

Modern motorized awnings can be controlled with remotes, wind sensors, timers, or smart home systems for effortless shade management.
