CAPRI

Style with charm and privacy

All Awnings

Product Description

Elegant and streamlined, the Capri awning by Ital-Shades is a timeless solution designed to add style and comfort to your windows with simplicity and discretion. Its minimalist design conceals a strong, durable structure capable of spanning widths up to 20 feet, making it ideal for both small and large window applications.

Capri provides effective protection from overheating, glare, and UV rays, helping keep your indoor spaces cooler and more comfortable. It is available in manual or motorized versions and comes in white, brown, cream, or gray powder-coated aluminum. Choose from hundreds of vibrant fabric colors to match your home’s style.

When retracted, Capri rests discreetly above the window. When extended, its spring-loaded arms allow you to position the awning exactly where you need it—perfect for blocking high-noon sun or low-angle rays in the afternoon. For added privacy, Capri can also lower to 180 degrees when equipped with extra fabric.

As a modern alternative to traditional stationary awnings, Capri is easy to install and operate. Its clean lines, reliable mechanics, and versatile design make it a stylish and practical shading solution for homeowners across Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, and Orange Counties in NY, and Bergen County, NJ.

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:

Without override service
With override service able to provide manual control in case of blackout
The Eolis 3D WireFreeTM RTS Wind Sensor is a wireless, battery powered wind sensor that will automatically retract an awning based on wind generated movements even when you are away. Battery powered, has an indicator to alert you when the battery needs to be replaced.
Ondeis is a solar-powered combined rain and sun sensor compatible with Radio Technology Somfy® motorized exterior products, including awnings, and screens. The Sensor is completely wireless and uses optical rain-sensing technology to measure rainfall and sends an RTS command when rainfall exceeds the user-selected threshold. The Sensor also utilizes a sun- level sensor that sends an RTS command when sunlight exceeds the user-selected threshold.

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.
