Architectural shade that extends only when you need it. Three Corradi ShadeLab awning systems - open roll, semi-cassette, and full cassette - engineered in Italy, manufactured in Dallas and installed by us..
A retractable awning extends out over a patio, deck, or window on a pair of folding arms - no support posts at the front edge - and retracts tight against the wall when you don't need it. The architecture reads as it was designed. The shade shows up when the sun is on the dining table and disappears when it isn't.
We install three Corradi ShadeLab systems. All three share the same arm technology, motor lineup, frame finishes, and fabrics - the choice between them is about one decision: how much the fabric itself should be protected when the awning is retracted. Open roll, semi-cassette, or full enclosure. We help you pick.
Retracts flat against the wall when not in use. No visual bulk, no support posts out in the space, no compromise to the architecture. The awning extends only when called for and returns to invisibility the rest of the time.
Optional Somfy sun, wind, and rain sensors handle deployment and retraction without anyone touching a switch. Awning extends at 2 PM when the patio gets hit; retracts before a gust can stress the fabric; Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Shortcuts compatible.
DAT (Dynamic Arm Torsion) System keeps the fabric taut at any projection and any pitch. Urban arms for projections up to 10 feet; Katana arms for the larger 11'6" and 13'6" projections. 316-grade stainless steel screws and pins throughout.
Pitch regulates smoothly across the full range (up to 65° on Klip) so the awning angle can be dialed in to block exact sun position - not limited to two or three preset positions.
Patented Italian design, manufactured to Corradi's tolerances. Shan has won the Red Dot Design Award for product design. These are architectural objects first, shade devices second.
Nine standard Corradi frame finishes plus custom RAL colors. Tempotest solution-dyed acrylic fabrics in dozens of patterns and solids; Sunbrella available on request. The awning integrates with the architecture instead of sitting on top of it.
Primary shade over a patio, deck, or outdoor dining area. Extends when the sun is harsh, retracts when it isn't. No support posts in the space.
Direct sun control for west- and south-facing windows - rejects heat before it reaches the glass, far more effective than interior blinds for summer heat gain.
Brand-forward awnings over outdoor dining and shop entrances. Custom fabric color, frame finish, and optional front-bar LED keep the presentation clean day and night.
Hotel pool decks, rooftop bars, spa patios. Shan's fully-enclosed cassette and Red Dot award-winning profile suit premium properties where visual polish matters.
316-grade stainless hardware is specified for saltwater and chlorine exposure. The awnings hold up where standard hardware corrodes within a few seasons.
Svet's 30 ft width and 13'6" projection covers resort-scale terraces, large residential outdoor rooms, and commercial patios with a single system.
All three use the same Somfy motors, the same DAT arm system, the same Tempotest fabric library, and the same nine frame finishes. The decision is about how much protection the fabric itself needs when the awning is retracted. We recommend the right system during the site visit, based on exposure, architecture, and how much the awning will be in use versus in storage.
