With our motorized retractable awnings you get sun protection and shade coverage that goes beyond clunky umbrellas or canopies.
Electric awnings from European Rolling Shutters (ERS Shading) are the perfect solution to turn the unusable, hot asphalt around your house into a cool, relaxing space. Our rollup awnings can also be mounted above windows or doorways to help keep the inside of your home cool and shaded.
BENEFITS OF A RETRACTABLE AWNING FOR YOUR HOME
Extend your awning without obstructing your view. Your awning comes with freestanding arms, not poles or stands that get in the way. It’s hardly noticeable when stored away.
Using your awning is incredibly easy. Choose from manual crank-controlled awnings or motorized awnings to fit your own preferences.
Transform your outdoor or indoor area into a cool, enjoyable retreat.
We source our fabrics from Sunbrella, the leader in performance fabrics for over 50 years…which also means you get their 10-year limited warranty on their fabrics.
Stainless steel connecting parts add to the life and usefulness of your awning. You get a reliably firm awning thanks to individual suspended springs that maximize the elasticity in the folding arms.
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends Sunbrella and retractable roll awnings. Protect your skin and your family even while you enjoy your outdoor space!

Your ERS awning goes beyond home style by saving you MONEY on energy consumption.
A PAMA Energy Study also showed awnings can reduce annual cooling energy 64-80% for homes in San Francisco.
This same study by PAMA also found awnings INCREASE heating costs in colder months as they filter natural heat gains when they are extended – another reason to invest in a retractable awning that can be collapsed in colder months!

That study is backed by further evidence from larger, independent organizations:
ASHRAE (the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Condition Engineers) show that an awning reduces solar gain by 72-77% on western exposures, reducing home cooling energy consumption by up to 60%.
The US Department of Energy report solar heat gain reductions of 65-77% from Awning usage

Your ERS Shading retractable awning is a pretty valuable investment.
In fact, installing an electric awning for your deck, patio, pool/spa area, garage, outdoor kitchen or other exterior space can add serious value to your home. Our retractable awnings are fully customized with your choice of colors and size. To increase the durability of the awnings, our elegant protective shell adds to the lifetime of the awning.
From beginning to end, you get a quality awning that is truly a European Rolling Shutters standard.
In addition to our awnings, we are also San Jose’s authorized dealer of the luxury German-manufactured markilux awnings.
Our canvas awnings aren’t the cheap retractable awnings you can find at discount outlets.
Each electric awning is custom-fitted to your space, made locally at our San Jose factory using premium materials and installed by ERS Shading professional contractors.
Remember: you get a 5-year warranty on everything we install, plus a 10-year warranty on your Sunbrella fabrics. Our outdoor canvas awning will bring a cool, relaxing shade to your family’s barbecue, pool, patio or deck.

“Had we not decided to put it up, I’d be very sad because we wouldn’t be living out on our patio as much as we are today.”
ERS allowed us to enjoy our outdoor area of our property by reducing heat and sun exposure
“What we were buying was an insurance of quality of workmanship and the people that were standing behind their product.”
“They stand behind (there work) when there is a problem and that’s been our experience with ERS and that’s why we continue to work with them.”
ERS Shading has won the “Best Window Covering/Shutters” company for the seventh time by The San Jose Mercury News’ 2023 Best in Silicon Valley Reader Choice Awards! You’re in good hands with ERS if you’re looking for the best awning company in the San Jose / SF Bay Area.
