Heavy-Duty Shade Solutions
Imperial Retractable Patio Awnings
The Imperial retractable patio awning is a proven heavy-duty shading system designed for homes and businesses. Built with an all-aluminum frame, premium fabric, and advanced options like Marcesa™, Adjustable Valance, and Cross / Over, it delivers lasting shade, style, and dependable performance.
Imperial Awning Features
Built for performance and crafted for curb appeal, the Imperial combines strength, flexibility, and refined design. It is made to handle demanding outdoor conditions while giving you custom shade that looks as good as it performs.
Award-Winning Design
A time-tested retractable awning trusted for its durability, smooth operation, and lasting visual appeal.
All-Aluminum Strength
Lightweight yet strong extruded aluminum construction creates a corrosion-resistant, maintenance-friendly system.
Custom Shade Options
Choose from Marcesa™, Adjustable Valance, and Cross / Over configurations to fit your space and sun exposure.
Premium Finishes
Available in white, black, or driftwood powder-coated finishes to complement modern and classic exteriors.
Tailored Fabric Selection
Solution-dyed acrylic fabrics in a wide range of colours provide reliable UV protection and long-term beauty.
Adjustable Valance
The Imperial Adjustable Valance is available on awnings up to 20 feet wide with a 10 foot projection. Hidden neatly in a cassette behind the standard valance, it extends by crank up to 5 feet when extra low-angle sun control is needed.
This option is ideal for waterfront and west-facing spaces where glare can be intense. It can be made in matching awning fabric or Ferrari Soltis screen fabric, allowing filtered light and outward visibility without the harsh afternoon glare.
Cross / Over
The Imperial Cross / Over is designed for installations where width is limited but maximum projection is required. Its specialized upper and lower front connector system gives you deeper shade without relying on adapted off-the-shelf components.
Additional stabilizing brackets, purpose-built housing, and an extended valance help this model stay balanced, strong, and visually clean. It is a smart solution for narrow spaces that still need generous outdoor coverage.
Marcesa™
The Marcesa™ option features a center beam stabilizer that creates a distinctive hip-roof shape when the awning is extended. This Aristocrat trademarked design improves wind stability, keeps the fabric tighter, and reduces sagging over time.
Its increased front slope also helps block lower-angle sun while creating more headroom toward the back of the awning. The result is a more spacious, comfortable, and visually striking outdoor living area.
Built for Serious Shade and Lasting Style
The Imperial is designed for property owners who want more than a basic patio awning. It brings together heavy-duty engineering, refined appearance, and customizable features that make outdoor spaces more usable throughout the day.
From residential patios to commercial storefronts, this retractable awning delivers dependable shade while enhancing the overall look of the building. It is a smart long-term investment in comfort, protection, and curb appeal.
Why Choose the Imperial
If your outdoor space gets intense afternoon sun, reflected glare, or changing weather exposure, the Imperial gives you reliable control. It is built to perform in demanding conditions without sacrificing elegance or ease of use.
With flexible mounting options, premium finishes, and specialty configurations for different applications, the Imperial adapts to your project instead of forcing your project to adapt to the awning.
