Shasama Fermetures motorises retractable awnings in Paris and Île-de-France, whether converting an existing manual awning or replacing a faulty motor.

Before any work, we check the structure, arms, roller tube, awning dimensions and power supply to select a suitable motor system.

Why motorise a retractable awning?

Motorisation lets you:

  • extend and retract the awning more easily.
  • remove the need for daily crank operation.
  • make large-width awnings easier to operate.
  • control the awning with a remote control or switch.
  • add a wind-sun sensor.
  • connect the awning to a compatible smart-home solution.

Which motor should you choose?

  • Wired motor : The motor is operated from a wall switch. It is a simple, reliable solution where a wired connection is planned.
  • Radio motor : The motor is operated remotely with a handset. This solution also makes it easier to add certain compatible controls or automation.
  • Wind-sun sensor : The sensor can automatically retract the awning when wind exceeds the set threshold. Depending on the selected system, it can also manage extension according to sunlight.
  • Connected control : A compatible motor system may allow remote control through a smart-home solution.

Frequently asked motorisation questions

Can an awning that is already installed be motorised?
Yes, in many cases. We first check the structure, the roller tube and the arms to confirm compatibility.
Which motor should I choose?
The choice depends mainly on the dimensions and the weight of the awning, the torque needed and the type of control wanted.
Which brands do you install?
We work mainly with Somfy, Becker, Simu and Nice.
Can a wind and sun sensor be added?
Yes, when the motorisation chosen is compatible.

Retractable-awning re-covering in Paris

  • Structure checked : Re-covering is only recommended after the existing frame has been inspected.
  • Measurement : Fabric dimensions and fixings recorded precisely.
  • 24 years of experience : Awnings and external closures.
  • Free quote : Fabric and work itemised before approval.

Faded, torn or heavily worn fabric does not necessarily mean replacing the whole awning.

When the arms and structure remain in good condition, Shasama Fermetures re-covers your retractable awning in Paris and Île-de-France.

Re-covering simply replaces the old fabric with new made-to-measure fabric.
