Fabrics
Ital-Shades selects only the finest fabric on the market. Please visit the following links and follow the instructions referring to their awning fabric collection:
Front Valance
Adjustable Valance
Ital-Shades’ Drop-Down Valance is an adjustable front valance system designed to provide additional sun protection on demand. It is compatible with virtually any Ital-Shades retractable lateral arm awning.
This secondary valance is positioned behind the standard valance and is housed inside a specialized front cassette that replaces the typical front bar. It can be easily raised or lowered using a small gear located at one end of the cassette.
The Drop-Down Valance is available in heights of 4 feet and above, and widths of up to 24 feet. It can be crafted using the same fabric as the awning for a coordinated look, or with sunscreen mesh in black, cream, gray, or brown for added light filtering and privacy.
Rain and Wind Stabilizers Legs Kit
With this exclusive front-leg system, Ital-Shades offers an excellent solution for handling wind and rain loads across nearly all of its lateral arm awnings (not compatible with the Nova model).
These stabilizers are hardware-free and feature reversible ends, making installation simple and error-proof.
Their flexible top and bottom joints are designed to bend toward the closing direction of the awning, allowing for movement while effectively managing wind and rain pressure.
Warning: Legs must be removed before closing awnings.
Roof Bracket
Roof installation is recommended when limited clearance, swing doors, gutters, or drainage elements obstruct standard wall mounting.
One roof bracket is required for each standard wall bracket.
Each roof bracket features an adjustable hinge system that replicates a wall-mount angle along the roof.
All Ital-Shades roof brackets are available in the same color as the selected awning frame for a seamless look.

Product Highlights
When we refer to how to motorize an Alutex product, customers can select between two major solutions, with or without override crank service:
With specific reference to their way to be connected to the power source, both motors can be selected as:
Standard Power Solution (hard-wired and controlled by a classical wall switch)
RTS Solution (with plug wire and controlled by a remote transmitter)
The Smoover RTS surface mounted wall switch avoids cutting into drywall. This single channel, battery-operated solution is easy to install and does not require an electrician. Available with 7 decorative color frames , users can easily complement any decor.
The myLink app by Somfy puts you in control, so that you can operate your motorized solutions whether you are home or not. At work and realized you forgot to close your shades for the day? Not a problem. With a simple tap of myLink app you can close all your shades.
