Custom Awning Installation in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

WINDOW COLLECTIONS IS PROUD TO BE REPRESENTING ABC SUN CONTROL SYSTEMS & Brustor Outdoor Sun Systems
Window Collections is Beverly Hills and Los Angeles's dedicated custom awning installer. We design retractable, motorized, and fixed shade systems for ultra-luxury homes across Southern California. From poolside cabanas to full-perimeter patio coverage, every project is built around your lifestyle, rather than a one-size-fits-all product line.

Why Window Collections

Designers and builders working on ultra-luxury properties need a shading partner who understands architectural intent, not just installation. Window Collections works directly with design teams from concept through final commissioning, matching fabric, arm mechanism, and control system to the home's overall design language. We believe every custom awning installation should be an extension of the décor, never a basic system.

Manufacturer Partners: ABC Sun Control Systems & Brustor

Window Collections builds every custom awning installation on hardware from two of the industry's most respected manufacturers. ABC Sun Control Systems brings advanced motorized shading technology, engineered for durability and precise, quiet operation. Brustor Outdoor Sun Systems specializes in high-end retractable awnings, pergolas, and outdoor living structures designed to hold up against coastal wind and sun exposure. Together, these manufacturer partnerships give Window Collections access to premium components—while our team handles the design, installation, and ongoing support directly, from first consultation to final commissioning.

Mobile Awnings

Mobile awnings give luxury homeowners portable, freestanding shade that isn't tied to a fixed structure—ideal for pool decks, event lawns, and outdoor living areas where shade needs shift throughout the day. Motorized mobile units can be repositioned and retracted with a remote or smart home control app, while manual models offer a simpler, lower-maintenance option for less frequently used areas.

Cassette Awnings

Cassette awnings fully enclose the fabric and arm mechanism in a protective housing when retracted, keeping the system visually clean against a home's façade. It’s a common choice for architecturally minimal properties where hardware visibility matters. These units can be motorized and integrated with home automation systems for scheduled retraction or wind-triggered closing. Fabric options typically favor tightly woven, high-UV-resistance acrylics that hold their color and structure over years of coastal sun exposure.

Folding Arm

Folding arm awnings extend on articulated arms to project shade well beyond a wall or window without any center support posts, making them a fit for expansive patios, outdoor dining areas, and terraces where unobstructed sightlines matter. Motorized folding arm systems can integrate with wind sensors for automatic retraction during Southern California's occasional wind events, protecting both the fabric and the mechanisms powering the awning. Fabric selection ranges from classic solid-color acrylics to wider woven textiles designed for the increased span these systems typically cover.

Side Awnings

Side awnings retract vertically or at an angle to shield a patio, balcony, or outdoor seating area from low-angle sun and neighboring sightlines, often used alongside a folding arm or cassette system to enclose an outdoor space on more than one side. Motorized versions allow side and overhead shading to be controlled together from a single interface, so an entire outdoor room can be adjusted in one motion. Fabric choices include both solid privacy-oriented textiles and mesh weaves that filter light while preserving airflow and view.

Small Window

Small window awnings provide targeted shade and glare reduction over individual windows, reducing solar heat gain in specific rooms without shading an entire façade or patio. These are typically fixed or manually operated given their scale, though motorized options exist for windows integrated into a broader whole-home shading and automation plan. Fabric is generally selected to match or complement adjacent larger awning systems, using the same solution-dyed acrylics for a cohesive look across the property.

Telescopic

Telescopic awnings use extending, adjustable arms or supports to project shade over larger or irregularly shaped areas—such as expansive terraces or multi-level outdoor living spaces—where a standard fixed-projection awning wouldn't provide full coverage. Motorized telescopic systems allow the projection depth to be adjusted on demand, extending fully for entertaining and retracting partially for everyday use. Fabric selection favors heavier-weight, high-performance acrylics engineered to maintain tension and appearance across the system's full extended reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a retractable and a fixed awning?

A retractable awning extends and retracts on demand, either manually or motorized, giving flexible shade control throughout the day. A fixed awning stays in a permanent position and works best for spaces that need consistent coverage year-round, such as small window applications.

Can motorized awnings integrate with my home automation system?

Yes. Motorized awnings from both ABC Sun Control Systems and Brustor can integrate with home automation platforms, allowing awnings to open, close, or adjust alongside lighting and shading scenes controlled from a single interface.

How do wind sensors help with coastal exposure in Beverly Hills and LA?

Wind sensors automatically trigger a motorized awning to retract when wind speeds exceed a set threshold, protecting the fabric and arm mechanism from damage—an important consideration for properties exposed to Southern California's coastal wind.

Do you design custom cabanas and canopies, or only standard awnings?

Yes. Beyond standard awning types, Window Collections designs custom cabanas and canopies for poolside and outdoor entertaining areas, matched to the home's architecture and existing shading systems.
