Why Motorized Awnings Work for Bloomington Homes
Motorized awnings give homeowners quick, effortless shade without cranking by hand. They suit a city that has bright summer sun, sudden storms, and long winters.
Decks and patios that face south or west often get strong afternoon sun. A motorized awning lets you extend cover when the sun is at its peak and pull it back when clouds move in.
Minnesota weather can change fast. Strong wind and heavy rain may harm an awning that stays open, so retracting it quickly matters. With one button, that takes seconds instead of minutes.
Platinum Series Motorized Awnings We Offer
Our Platinum Series is the premium line of SunSetter awnings, and it carries a 10-year limited warranty. You can explore every model on our Platinum Series awnings page.
Platinum Plus With Semi-Cassette Housing
The Platinum Plus model has a semi-cassette housing. This durable aluminum cover protects the retracted fabric from dirt, wind, and snow all year long.
Platinum Beyond With Full Cassette
Platinum Beyond is the top-of-the-line model. Its full cassette gives the fabric 360 degrees of protection and adds a sleek, modern look.
Platinum PRO With a Front Drop Screen
The Platinum PRO comes with a built-in front drop screen. It blocks 85% to 90% of sun and glare and adds privacy.
Platinum XL for Larger Decks
Platinum XL models cover bigger decks and patios. They reach up to a 13 ft. 1 in. projection from your home.
Fabric Choices for Your Awning
You can pick SunSetter Performance Acrylic or Sunbrella fabric for your new awning. Both are built for outdoor living and come in many colors.
SunSetter Performance Acrylic uses solution-dyed yarns that resist fading, mold, and mildew. It is also made to block 98% of harmful UV rays. Browse the full selection on our fabrics and colors page.
Warranties of 5 and 10 years are available, depending on the model and fabric. Ask us which option fits your home.
Who Benefits Most From Motorized Awnings
These awnings fit any homeowner who wants easy, reliable shade. They are a smart choice in situations like these:
▸ Large decks and patios where hand cranking is a chore.
▸ Homes with a south- or west-facing yard that gets hot afternoon sun.
▸ Pool areas that need relief from glare.
▸ Busy households that want shade ready with one touch.
▸ Owners who like to open and close the awning many times a day.
How Installation Works
Our white glove process takes you from first call to finished install. The steps are simple:
1. Request a free estimate and talk through the size, model, and fabric you want.
2. Place your order, and watch your email for updates as it moves through the factory.
3. Wait for our call to schedule installation once your awning arrives.
4. Meet our installers, who mount the awning and show you how the motor and remote work.
5. Inspect the finished awning and sign off when you are happy with it.
Please be home during installation and move any patio furniture out of the way. Installers work in light rain, and severe weather moves the visit to another day.
Using Your Awning Through Minnesota Seasons
Your awning is easiest to enjoy when you match its use to the weather. Extend yours on sunny days and retract it before strong wind, heavy rain, or snow.
A cassette housing helps protect the fabric while it is retracted. That matters in Bloomington, where winters bring snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles. Our maintenance tips page also covers simple care for your awning.
