Universal Industries Unlimited Inc. "The Awning People"

Solair® Pro Lateral Arm
Retractable Awning Systems

The premier shade solution offers a completely custom product from fabric and frame colors to motor and sensor options.

• Super strength and long-lasting durability is forged into critical aluminum parts like the upper arm attachment and hinges.
• A corrosion-resistant, high-quality electrostatic powder coated finish protects aluminum frame components.
• Stainless steel fasteners and cables provide corrosion-resistant and long-life operation.
• Extruded aluminum front bar attachment, support bar and roller tube are engineered for long-lasting strength and durability against sagging and bowing. Awnings beyond 18 feet wide require center support.
• Front bar attachment has a dual-action feature that increases flexibility while reducing strain on the awning during a wind gust. The arms and front bar move independently, reducing tension on the awning and wall mounting brackets.
• Elliptical cable path in the hinge allows for cables to hold tension in the arm springs for consistent operation and a tight fabric appearance.
• Strong yet flexible triple-angled forged middle hinge is engineered to increase flexibility by allowing each arm to flex independently to absorb the stress of wind gusts.
• Middle hinge and upper arm attachment sleeve bushings are self-lubricating to provide smooth noise-free operation and wear reduction.
• All motorized units use Somfy^® brand, heavy-duty motors and are available with optional manual override and wireless remote control operation.
• Fabric damage from over rolling is eliminated by the bevel gear with a built-in stop.
• Sizes range from 8 to 34 feet wide, with seven folding arm projection sizes from 4 feet 2 inches to 12 feet 6 inches. Custom arm sizes and a narrow width series are available.
• Adjustable awning pitch from 5° to 45° for maximum shade control.
• Hundreds of woven acrylic and vinyl coated mesh fabric choices, including brands like Sunbrella^® and Dickson^®, offer customization for any style of home. All are mildew resistant and will hold their color and appearance in any climate for years upon years.
