Large Commercial Awnings

Extra Large Awning - Extensions to Nearly 17 ft. - Nothing but the Best

When Maximum Shade is Required


Superior Strength Offering a 16' 4" Projection. The extra large Grand commercial awning is characterized by a single-supporting square steel bar enabling the easy installation of the available 16' 4" TELESCOPIC projection arms. The Grand awning is best suited for protecting large spaces such as gardens, pool decks, patios or commercial areas. Please review the features of this Grand awning. This is the "Mother" of all commercial awnings. The telescopic arms coupled with the over-sized, heavy-wall roll tube is so strong the fabric will never sag and water runs off the canvas awning easily even with a shallow pitch. Take a look at the picture. There is NO sag even with a 16' 4" extension.
40 years of experience provides the knowledge to develop the best commercial awnings of this caliber and size.
Note: The heavy-duty mount tube of galvanized steel has a powder-coat finish and provides the strength and rigidity required for an extension of 16’4”. Also note the extra-heavy arm coupling to the mount tube. Note the extra-heavy wall proprietary Telescopic arms. The telescopic arms are gas powered and spring assisted to insure the power to provide constant tension to the awning fabric. This insures a flat, smooth, unwrinkled cover when this extra-large awning is fully extended.

	Large center roller supports insure maximum stability and consistency when extending and retracting our Grand retractable awnings.


Gas-powered with spring-assist telescropic arms The Sundown Grand and High Wind awnings use Proprietary Telescopic arms that have the power to “tension” the awning cover consistently during retraction or extension operation. The Telescopic arms "power" the Sundown Grand and High Wind retractable awnings.

	All assembly hardware is stainless steel We insist that all assembly hardware be Stainless Steel. It is a must as the retractable awning should last 20-30 years. With out stainless steel hardware, the life span will be much less; and you will have rust stains to deal with as the cheap steel parts corrode away.

Swiss design and engineering coupled with the latest manufacturing techniques, US assembly, assure value, reliability and satisfaction for many years. The Sundown Grand commercial awning has a TUV GS rating for product excellence. What does TUV stand for? I have been asked this question a number of times and did not have a good answer. I called TUV America headquartered in Danvers, Massachusetts and asked them the question "What does a TUV rating mean to me and what criteria do you use for testing? The answer? ANSWER... They test only for electrical and mechanical safety and suitability for purpose. No stress tests are performed. It was likened to our UL Listing. The TUV rating is being bandied about by some awning companies to indicate their product met some engineering stress test criteria when they didn't. TUV America has the same test protocol as is used in Europe and has no more significance than the European Certificate. I believe the stress and wind testing we are having performed on our awning systems are more indicative of the real-life demands of our awnings. The initial results of our real-life testing indicates our Sundown Series of Retractable awning systems will exceed the strength of all of our competitors.

Somfy RTS motors are standard for Sundown Grand retractable awnings. A wall-mount wireless control is included with this motorized, electric awning.

	All metal parts are powder coated using a time-proven, 5-step process. Maximizes the durability of the finish.

Wireless control systems Wireless control systems are available from the standard wireless control provided to Sun and Wind sensors, remote controls and timers for daily operation.
Tenara Thread All of our awning covers use Tenara thread and are sewn using computer-controlled pneumatic sewing machines. This insures consistent straight seams. The Tenara thread has been proven to be an exceptionally stable, easy-to-sew and long-lasting product. Tenara sewing thread will not deteriorate from exposure to the elements. It's an ideal choice for sewing awnings, because it's immune to ultraviolet degradation, the primary cause of seam failure. Review the details and you will find our Grand Awning to be the best large, commercial awning available.
