Seven product lines
Retractable, screened, and fixed — manufactured in Connecticut and specified per project. Start with the comparison, then open the line you need.
Side by side
Ordered by configuration — open arm, half cassette, full cassette, then the commercial, screen and fixed lines. This is not a ranking: these answer different drawings, and which one fits comes down to the opening, the exposure, and what the customer wants to see when it is closed.
Figures are as published for each line. Where a value reads“Not published” it means exactly that — ask us rather than assume, and confirm final sizing against the structure on site.

In detail
Lateral-arm retractable awning
Legend is the dependable lateral-arm retractable for dealers who need one product that covers most of the board — patios and decks through storefronts, outdoor dining, offices, and event spaces. Shade on demand, no front support poles, nothing permanent to engineer around.
Best for
Half-cassette folding-arm awningPatented tipping systemComing soon
Valor sits between Legend and Salute in the line: a folding-arm retractable with a half cassette rather than an open arm or a full enclosure. Its distinguishing feature is a patented tipping system that adjusts the awning’s inclination without acting on the cassette itself, across a 5° to 45° range.
Best for
Full-cassette retractable awning
Salute is the full-cassette retractable: when it closes, the housing encloses the fabric and the working components completely. It is the product to lead with when a customer cares how the awning looks retracted, and the one that holds up best where the awning stays up year-round.
Best for
Commercial retractable awning
Liberty is the commercial retractable — restaurants, storefronts, office entries, and outdoor seating. Same lateral-arm advantage of an open span underneath, with the customization a business needs to put its name on the shade it just bought.
Best for
Retractable sidewalls & screens
Freedom is retractable screens and sidewalls — sun, wind, insects, glare, and privacy, on demand. It is the attachment sale on almost every patio and porch job, and it answers the objection a shade-only solution leaves open: low evening sun, insects, and wind.
Best for
Fixed architectural canopy
Frontier is the fixed canopy line: entrances, windows, walkways, and commercial exteriors that need permanent cover and a finished architectural edge. Welded rather than thru-fastened, which is a cleaner product on the wall and a simpler install in the field.
Best for
Standing-seam fabric canopyPatent pending
Metal Look is a fixed canopy with a true raised standing-seam rib profile, built as a tensioned fabric system on a repeatable frame. It exists for one situation: an architect has specified standing-seam metal and you want to bid the job with a fabric system your own crew can fabricate and install.
