Rolltec® Is Awarded In Two Categories at the 2008 IFAI Expo

At the 2008 IFAI Expo, in Charlotte, NC, Rolltec® was presented the Outstanding Achievement Award and the Award of Excellence for their Retractable Awnings over a Terrace and Retractable Awning over a Swimming Pool projects. The complexity, uniqueness and sheer elegance of these projects set Rolltec® apart from the competition.

Rolltec® competed amongst the finest manufacturers in the world. From the sixteen countries that entered, two of Rolltec's® five submissions were chosen. This is the 8th IFAI award that Rolltec® has won.

Rolltec® Rolling Systems Ltd. won three awards in the Retractable Awnings category of the competition: the "Award of Excellence" for the project Awnings over Terrace Area, and two  "Oustanding Achievement Awards" for a Retractable Awning for A Restaurant Terrace and for a Restaurant Patio in Downtown Toronto.

Selected from 363 entries from 17 different countries, the International Achievement Awards winners represent many of today's top professionals in the specialty fabric industry. All entries were judged by a diverse panel of industry experts, editors, architects, educators and design professionals selected for their knowledge of the particular category of competition. Judging was based on complexity, design, workmanship, uniqueness and function of the project.

Keep your patrons protected from the heat of the mid-day sun or the blinding effect of a west facing sunset. Retractable awnings with a vertical drop shade will also help extend your patio season offering protection from cool autumn and spring evening breezes.

Restaurants, hotels, clubs, and other establishments looking to maximize profits from outdoor patios, now have an eye-catching solution. The Atrium™ is a unique refuge from sun and rain.

The exceptional feature of the Atrium™ is its retractable top. The Atrium™ comes in sections of up to 20' in width, and projecting up to 20' in length from the wall. These sections can be linked together to create unlimited widths using a specially designed rain gutter.

Motorized or manually operated, the Atrium™ will provide you with years of protection from the elements. Rolltec®'s selection of 100% solution dyed acrylic fabrics will surely complement this feat of engineering.

Extruded aluminum hood protects the fabric as well as the rolling mechanism from the elements.

The Adalia Extreme X3M™ group of awnings is designed, manufactures and assembled in Canada by Rolltec®, using time-honoured traditions of European and North American technology superior workmanship and top quality materials.
 

Innovatively designed, the Adalia X3M™ arm shoulder consists of three components of high-strength extruded aluminum that work in conjunction to provide lateral and vertical stability, and are virtually unbreakable. It features dual inclination modes: a default setting of 5 to 45 degrees, and an optional 40 to 80 degree setting after a simple adjustment.

• Custom widths starting from 7'-0" wide through to 24'-0" in 1" increments
• Projections available: 5'-4" - 6'-9" - 8'-8" - 10'-0" and 11'-8"
• Hex key & wrench adjustable pitch allows you to raise or lower the front bar 5°to 45° inclination and arm shoulder adjustments of 40° to 80°
• Speedy bevel gear with a 5:1 ratio and a stopper to prevent the awning from rolling up in the wrong direction
• White or ivory powder-coated frame for a durable finish that will not crack, blister or peel
•  noise in windy conditions
• 100% solution-dyed woven fabric that resists UV discolouration
• Standard 55" crank (71" or 84" available upon request)
• Optional spring-assist retraction for larger models or fully motorized, automated by remote control with sun and wind sensors
• Comprehensive 10-year warranty on frame

The Adalia X3M Extenda™ is a cross-arm awning designed for a narrow width situation where the awning projection has to be equal or greater than the width. it possesses the same impressive features as the Adalia Extreme X3M™ (see abaove) as well as vertically offset arms

A solid aluminum extension block is connected to one of the arm shoulders. This tech-nique offsets the arm shoulder, lowering one arm just underneath another, so they can cross without conflicting.

• Projections available:
  5'-4" (3'-8" minimum width required)
  6'-9" (4'-6" minimum width required)
  8'-8" (5'-8" minimum width required)
  10'-0" (6'-6" minimum width required)
  11'-8" (8'-0" minimum width required)

The Adalia X3M Plus™ is a modification of the Adalia X3M™ awning with uniquely engineered slope adjustment gears incorporated into the arm shoulders. As a result, Adalia X3M Plus™ allows infinite inclination adjustments in both arms simultaneously at any time. Therefore, the arms will always stay aligned, which means there is no need to worry about your awning being leveled before retracting it.

These structurally powerful arm shoulders contain gearboxes that are synchronized inside the square bar by a solid steel rod and a series of bearings. This allows changing the pitch of both arms at the same time. The range of slope adjustment is from 7° to 55°

• Slope adjustment is done with an awning winding handle
• Both arms adjusted at the same time, keeping the awning leveled
• Variable shade coverage to suit the sun's position
• Ability to lower the awning's slope while it's raining to more effectively shed the rain and reduce the potential for pooling

• 5mm wall-thickness reinforced aluminum square bar
• Projection: 13'-0"
• Custom widths from 15'-0" to 24'-0" in 1" increments

• Custom widths from 10'-0" through to 19'-0" in 1" increments
• Projection: 8'-4" - 10'-0" - 11'-8"
• Box size: 7.75" height - 5.25" projection
• Brackets size: 4" - 12" - 20"
• Standard Operation: Manual telescopic crank (adjustable from 50" to 84")
• May be motorized and operated by remote control

The Bravo™ is a semi-cassette eco-friendly retractable awning designed to lower your cooling cost by reducing your heat-gain during the summer. Elegantly designed to not only provide shade and light rain protection, it complements any home décor and offers ultimate fabric protection. The Bravo™ suits any type of installation where the fabric and mechanism are at their most vulnerable.

The extruded aluminum dual inclination arm shoulder contains a specially engineered mechanism that pivots upwards, therefore, the front bar and profiles meet perfectly every time as well as acting as a "wind-lock" to reinforce the shoulder's capability to resist strong winds.

The internally reinforced, extruded aluminum front bar gives continuity to the fabric top and added strength to the overall system. When the awning is retracted, the top profile overlaps the front bar slightly thereby preventing water access into the cassette.

• Custom widths from 6'-2" through to 19'-9" in 1" increments
• Projection: 5'-0" - 6'-9" - 8'-4" - 10'-0" - 11'-8"
• Standard Operation: Manual telescopic crank (adjustable from 50" to 84")
• May be motorized and operated by remote control

Basket awnings are similar to conventional stationary awnings, in that they can handle snow loads and high winds. They differ in that the basket awning can be equipped with a pulley kit which allows the basket to retract. The benefit of being able to retract your basket awning is that you can let direct sunlight into your home during the gloomy winter months.

Basket awnings are available in 4-Rib and 2-Rib styles. The 4-Rib style is more rounded and softens the look of the window.

• Custom widths from 3'-0" to 14'-0" in 1" increments
• Projections: 18" - 24" - 30" - 36"
  (typical projection is half the height of the window)
• Anodized aluminum frame
• 100% solution-dyed woven fabric
• Fixed or retractable with pulley mechanism

• Custom widths from 3'-0" to 14'-0" in 1" increments
• Projections: 18" - 24" - 30" - 36"
  (typical projection is half the height of the window)
• Anodized aluminum frame
• 100% solution-dyed woven fabric
• Fixed or retractable with pulley mechanism

Drop arm awnings are our most popular model for shading windows. They are retractable, thus giving you the option to shade the entire window, or just part of it. Drop arms can be motorized or manually operated; for higher installations, we suggest a motorized operation.
 

• Custom widths from 4'-0" to 12'-0" in 1" increments
• Projections: 18" - 24" - 30" - 36" - 42" - 48"
  (typical projection is half the height of the window)
• Extruded aluminum arms with maximum inclination of 160° degrees
• Extruded aluminum front bar with added weight to provide greater stability in windy condition
• White powder-coated aluminum frame
• 100% solution-dyed woven fabric
• Standard Operation: Manual crank (55" with 71" & 84" option)
• May be motorized and operated by remote control
  (especially recommended for upper-floor windows)

A variety of brackets for any installation. Wall (regular and 3-hole), ceiling, roof brackets, as well as 4 sizes of rafter brackets (used in combination with ceiling brackets).

A specially designed 40mm extruded aluminum square bar with 5mm architectural reinforcement ribs that prevent it from twisting. This improvement is done to accommodate the increased torque of a larger projection and a large, 40mm square bar, with 2mm thick walls, adds stability to the overall system.

Structural galvanized steel roller tube with spring memory to re-bound to its original shape.

Manual override
In gale-force winds, thunder and lightning storms, power surges or power failures can occur. Under heavy wind conditions, your awning should be retracted to protect it from the elements. We highly recommend the manual override option to allow you to retract (or deploy) your awning should there be a power failure. Having a manual override allows you extend and retract your motorized awning with the use of our standard crank supplied with your Rolltec awning.

Sun and wind sensors
The sun sensor automatically extends the awning when it becomes sunny; the wind sensor automatically retracts the awning when the wind gets too strong (please note: a wind sensor is to be used under supervision and should not be used en lieu of lack of attentiveness). Both sun and wind sensors are available wireless and run on batteries, or with a cord and require an outlet.

Manual Assist
Retractable awnings have powerful springs in the folding arms to keep the fabric taut at all times. A fully extended awning requires a certain amount of physical force when using a crank. For larger awnings this could be a problem, therefore a spring-assist mechanism is suggested to aid you in retracting your awning. The spring assist option can be added to any size awning upon request.

Outdoor plug-in system
This system allows you to have a motorized awning without the help of an electrician to hardwire it. The outdoor plug-in system is equipped with a switch and conventional plug, therefore no hardwiring is required.

Somfy Remote-Controlled Motors
How would you like to be able to extend or retract your awning with a touch of a button? A motor can be pre-installed at our factory and operated with a 3 way switch or transmitter. The body of the motor is placed inside the roller tube, therefore no additional space is required. With our RTS family of motors, the transmitter can be activated from 90 feet and effortlessly deploy or retract your awning.
