Many types of accessories can be added to the retractable awnings we install at Prestige Shade. As a licensed Sunesta dealer, we install three types of retractable awnings from this brand — the Sunesta, the Sunstyle, and the Sunlight. We also install the Sunbrero, one of Sunesta’s window and door awnings. There are awning parts and accessories for each type, including:

Retractable Awnings

Accessories for our retractable awnings include:

  • Smart Control: Control your awning with your fingertips. The smart control allows your awning to deploy or retract with just one touch for convenience.
  • Smart Hood: Keep your awning protected from the elements when it isn’t in use with a smart hood. A smart hood provides complete protection all year long.
  • Smart Power: With smart power, your awning can easily be controlled with a remote. Use the remote to lower or raise your awning.
  • Smart Lights: Set the right tone in your backyard with dimmable LED lights that add ambiance to an outdoor space.
  • SmartCase: With SmartCase, you receive 360-degree protection of your awning all year round. (Available with the Sunesta and Sunstyle models).
  • Smart Drop: Smart Drop valances deliver better protection when sunlight is at lower angles, such as early in the morning or at sunset. This allows you to enjoy your patio without the glare. (Available with the Sunesta and Sunstyle models).
  • Smart Tilt: Have more control over your retractable awning with Smart Tilt, which enables tilt control. (Available with the Sunstyle and Sunlight models).
  • Smart Fold: If you only need your awning retracted slightly, Smart Fold enables this use without affecting long projection. (Available with the Sunlight model).
  • Motion sensors: To protect your awning and enhance convenience, motion sensors connect to the motor and extend or retract as weather conditions change.
  • MyLink2 Phone App: Conveniently control your retractable awning from your smartphone with the MyLink2 app.

Window and Door Awnings

Accessories for the Sunbrero include:

  • Smart Mount pull-up kit: A smart mount pull-up kit allows the homeowner to easily pull up an awning manually and secure it to the building during a storm. The manual pull-up kit is easy to use and rolls up your awning in moments to protect it from the elements.
  • Smart Mount storm strap kit: For homeowners who live in areas that are prone to storms, a smart mount kit allows your window awning to stay affixed to the building, thanks to sturdy straps.
  • Smart Mount rafter bars: Smart Mount rafter bars allow support for your window awnings. The rafter bars prevent the awning frame from bending, keeping your awning looking as good as the day it was installed.

No matter what type of awning accessory you are looking for, the team at Prestige Shade has numerous options. Let us show you how to make your awning complete.
