Retractable Awnings In KC Northland
Retractable Awnings in KC Northland, MO
Solar Shield Blinds installs motorized Retractable Awnings over the uncovered decks of the KC Northland. The deck off the kitchen in a 1990s two story off Barry Road has no roof in many homes, and our awnings put full shade over that deck, then roll back into a cassette when the sun is gone.
Where It Fits In KC Northland
Where Retractable Awnings Fit In The KC Northland
Uncovered decks are common on the Northland's 1990s two stories, and adding a permanent roof is a construction project. A Retractable Awning gives you shade with no construction at all.
- Uncovered decks on the two storiesThe deck off the back of a 1990s two story in Shoal Creek can be bare boards in full sun. An awning shades it and rolls away for the evening sky.
- Patios on a slabThe slab patio off a Gladstone ranch has nowhere to hang shade. A wall mounted awning with adjustable pitch covers the table and rolls back when you want the stars.
- Grill decks and evening dinnersThe grill lives on the deck, and the deck faces west. An awning with built in LED lights makes it a place to eat from spring through fall.
- New builds in Staley FarmsA new home with a bare deck is a great time for an awning, with the cassette mounted to the new siding and a motor that makes it easy to use every day.
Worth Knowing
EZ-Pitch, Cassette, Lighting And Our Guarantee
Many of the two stories from Barry Road to 152 were built with a deck off the kitchen and no roof over it, and the west facing ones sit empty from midafternoon in July. A pergola is a building project, and a permanent roof is a bigger one. A Retractable Awning mounts to the wall above the door, extends out over the deck for full shade, and rolls back into its cassette when you want the sky. The integrated cassette keeps the fabric dry and protected from insects and birds between uses.
EZ-Pitch is the feature that matters most on a west deck. With the included crank handle you change the angle of the awning, no tools and no ladder, so the front edge comes down to block a low evening sun, and the same adjustment lets rain run off one side in a light shower. Built in LED lights under the arms are dimmable and have their own remote. Every awning we install is motorized, and one unit can be made from 10 to 40 feet wide with an 8, 10 or 12 foot projection.
An awning is made for fair weather, so in real wind you bring it in with one press, and a wind sensor can do it for you. Choose from over 300 Sunbrella fabrics and white, bronze or beige frames at no extra charge. Our Five Year Service Guarantee covers the awning, so any defect is fixed free. The consultation is free, the itemized quote comes on the spot and holds for 180 days, we plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to installation, and our new showroom is opening in Shoal Creek Valley off 152.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from KC Northland homeowners
Yes. The mount goes through the siding into the framing or a header, and your Design Specialist looks at the wall above the door at the consultation to confirm where it goes. On the two stories in Shoal Creek, that's the band above the patio door, and the cassette sits neatly against the siding in a frame color that suits the house.
Yes, with EZ-Pitch. Lower the front edge with the crank handle as the sun drops and the awning keeps blocking it, then raise the pitch again for headroom. On a west facing deck in Staley Farms the evening is when you want to be outside, and the adjustable pitch makes that possible.
Every Retractable Awning we install is motorized, because of the weight and projection of our units. It runs from a remote, and we complete the wiring to the closest outlet during installation. Once it's on a remote, you'll open it every afternoon.
Yes. LED light strips come standard under the arms of every awning, dimmable and on their own remote, so the deck is ready for dinner after dark without a floodlight on the wall. On a deck behind a Barry Road area two story that faces the yard and the trees, it makes a warm summer evening even better.
Yes. Retractable Awnings carry our Five Year Service Guarantee, so any defect in that time is fixed free. The cassette keeps the fabric dry and rolled away when it's closed, which helps it look new for years. Our own full time Install Techs put it up, and they're the ones who come back if it ever needs a look.
We plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to installation, and we install as soon as we can once your awning arrives. If you want shade by summer, schedule your consultation in the spring, and your quote holds for 180 days.
