SUN AND RAIN PROTECTION
ShadeFX retractable roofs cover large areas and protect you and your furniture from sun and rain.

CAPABILITIES
OUR PATENTED SYSTEM
Our revolutionary ‘Single Track Design’ allows for unparalleled coverage, ease of deployment and unrelenting protection from both the sun and rain.
ShadeFX systems are engineered to operate without the need for a slope, providing a virtually flat installation. Our innovative solution facilitates even the most eclectic designs and tastes while setting the new industry standard in outdoor space utility.
As demonstrated below, our shade assembly mounts on a single track, producing a peak which forces rain to run off on either side of the canopy track.
BENEFITS .+(FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT)
Diverse shapes, orientation, settings and locations. ShadeFXs patented single track solution removes traditional alignment issues that multiple track systems have to consider and manage. This allows ShadeFX to mount to frames of all types, including wood, without concern for jamming or binding. Further, the single track down the center of the roof provides the pitch required to effectively manage rain runoff. Paired with rain gutters, accumulating rainfall sheds to the sides of the system and into the troughs of the gutters, removing concern for pooled or standing water.
BENEFITS (AESTHETICS & AMBIENCE)
Most retractable roofs available on the market are comprised of plastic and metal materials and therefore come with a limited number of color options. ShadeFXs retractable roof has a fabric top, with hundreds of colors and patterns to choose from, this allows the system to complement the space it covers. Fabric paired with polycarbonate panels is partially reflective and partly absorptive allowing the rain to softly hit the roof and gently run off the sides. Partially extend, or fully retract the system to find the perfect amount of sunlight or coverage for the space below.

WATER RESISTANT
ShadeFX offers three types of quality fabrics with varying degrees of water protection. Depending on climate, usage and function, customers can choose between water resistant, water repellent and waterproof canopy fabrics. Below are some general guidelines on their application. If canopies are expected to keep an outdoor space dry for the duration of a light rain shower, water resistant fabrics will be suitable for your outdoor space.
WATER REPELLANT
In climates that experience greater precipitation, water repellent fabrics may be a more viable solution. This type of fabric is tightly woven and/or coated with a chemical finish that repels water upon contact, rather then allowing it to seep through the material.
WATER PROOF
If a canopy is subject to constant rain over a course of a week or an entire season, waterproof fabrics are recommended. Waterproof fabrics are not available in patterns, only solid colors, but will ensure a dry outdoor space regardless of precipitation.
DRIVE
MOTOR DRIVE
ShadeFX’s patented single track technology ensures that your roof will extend and retract smoothly with no jamming or binding of its movement. The roof can be stopped at any desired position from “fully extended” to “fully retracted”.
Extend and retract the roof at the push of a button. ShadeFX motor drive systems use food machinery components for the drive belt, bearings, pulleys and transmission for ultra-durable and weather-resistant operation. Extend and retract up to a single 24′ roof at the push of a button.
ShadeFX motor drives and controls are supplied by Somfy. Available control options include hand-operated remotes, wall switches, and fully integrated home automation systems.
