The Last Awning You’ll Ever Buy
SunPro’s industry-best 10-year non-prorated warranty, American manufacturing, and premium Sunbrella fabrics mean you invest once and enjoy your outdoor space for decades.
CHARLOTTE’S ONLY AUTHORIZED SUNPRO DEALER
When You Invest in Your Outdoor Space, You Deserve the Best Product Protecting It
SimpliShaded exclusively installs SunPro motorized awnings and screens — America’s fastest-growing manufacturer — because Charlotte homeowners deserve a product built to last, backed by the strongest warranty in the industry, and installed by a dealer who stands behind every single job.
Not Every Awning or Screen Is Built to Last in Charlotte’s Climate
Choosing an awning or motorized screen is a significant investment — and the Charlotte market is full of options that look similar on the surface but perform very differently over time. Generic brands cut corners on fabric quality, motor reliability, and warranty coverage. National chains sell products manufactured overseas with long lead times and limited local support. And once the installation crew leaves, you’re often on your own. Charlotte homeowners who’ve made that mistake once come to SimpliShaded the second time — because they want a product they can trust from a dealer who will still be there five years from now.
3 Issues With Cheap Awnings & Screens:
Warranties full of exclusions, prorations, and fine print that don’t hold up
Cheap motors that fail within the first few seasons
Fabric that fades, stretches, or tears under Carolina UV exposure
What Makes SunPro Different From Every Other Brand on the Market
SunPro isn’t the biggest awning manufacturer in America — yet. But they are the fastest growing, and there’s a very specific reason for that. They built a product that dealers are proud to install and homeowners are proud to own. Here’s what that means for you as a Charlotte homeowner:
Made in the USA — And It Shows
Every SunPro awning and screen is manufactured in the United States. That’s not just a feel-good statement — it has direct, practical implications for you as a customer. US manufacturing means tighter quality control at every production stage. It means faster delivery — most SunPro orders are in your dealer’s hands within one to two weeks, compared to the four to six week lead times common with overseas manufacturers. And it means that when you have a warranty claim or a support question, you’re dealing with a domestic company that answers the phone and stands behind its product.
Fully Motorized as Standard — Not as an Upgrade
Many awning manufacturers charge a premium to add a motor to their product. SunPro includes motorization as a standard feature on every single awning — because they believe convenience shouldn’t be optional. Every SunPro awning comes with a wireless remote control, full smart home integration through the Somfy myLink app, and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. One button on your remote, your phone, or your voice — and your awning deploys or retracts instantly. No cranks. No effort. No exceptions.
The Industry’s Best Warranty — By a Wide Margin
SunPro backs every awning and screen with a full 10-year non-prorated warranty covering hardware, fabric color retention, and the motor. Let’s be clear about what non-prorated means — because most competitors’ warranties are prorated, meaning coverage diminishes every year. With a prorated warranty, a motor that fails in year seven might only be covered at 30% of replacement cost. With SunPro’s non-prorated warranty, year ten is covered exactly the same as day one. Full replacement. No depreciation. No fine print surprises. The warranty is also fully transferable if you sell your home — making your SunPro installation a genuine addition to your property’s value.
Built-In LED Lighting — Standard on Every Awning
SunPro builds dimmable LED lights directly into the arms of every awning as a standard feature — not an add-on. Controlled by the same wireless remote as the awning itself, these lights let you dial in the perfect ambiance for any evening gathering without the hassle of separate lighting installation. It’s a premium feature that most competitors charge extra for — or don’t offer at all.
Cassette Housing That Actually Protects Your Investment
When your SunPro awning is retracted, the fabric doesn’t sit exposed to the elements — it retracts fully into an integrated cassette housing that completely encloses and protects it. This means your Sunbrella fabric is shielded from UV degradation, pollen, bird damage, and storm debris every moment it’s not in use. The result is an awning that looks newer longer and performs reliably season after season. It’s a design detail that separates serious awning manufacturers from bargain brands — and SunPro includes it as standard.
Sunbrella Fabric — The Gold Standard in Outdoor Textiles
SunPro awnings are available in 30 of the most popular Sunbrella fabrics as part of their standard in-stock program — plus over 300 custom options. Sunbrella is universally recognized as the gold standard in outdoor fabric, engineered specifically to resist UV fading, moisture, mold, and mildew in demanding climates like Charlotte’s. Whether you want a classic solid, a bold stripe, or a subtle pattern that complements your home’s exterior — SimpliShaded will help you find the perfect fabric from the most trusted textile brand in the industry.
Smart Accessories That Make Life Easier
SunPro awnings and screens are engineered to work with a full ecosystem of smart accessories:
Wireless Wind Sensor — Automatically retracts your awning when wind speeds reach a set threshold, protecting your investment even when you’re away from home.
Wind Poles — Provide additional stability for awnings in exposed locations or larger installations.
Front and Side Screens — Extend your shade and privacy protection beyond the awning footprint for complete outdoor room enclosure.
Somfy myLink App — Full smartphone control of every SunPro product from anywhere in the world.
Alexa & Google Home Integration — Voice control your entire outdoor shade system without touching a remote.
Motorized Screens Built for Large Openings
SunPro specializes in what most competitors can’t handle — large motorized screen openings. Custom screens are available up to 30 feet wide, with hardware specifically engineered to perform flawlessly across wide spans without sagging, binding, or motor strain. If you have a large covered porch, an open pergola, an outdoor kitchen, or a commercial space that needs serious screening, SunPro is the only manufacturer in this market with the engineering and track record to do it right.
