Electric vs Manual Awnings — Which is Right for You?

Choosing the perfect awning isn’t just about colour, fabric, and style — it’s also about how you want to operate it. At Aura Awnings, we offer both electric and manual options, each with their own advantages. The best choice depends on your lifestyle, space, and budget.

Why Choose an Electric Awning?

1. Effortless OperationWith the push of a button, your awning can extend or retract in seconds. Our electric awnings can be operated using a remote control, wall switch, or even integrated into a smart home system.

2. Added ConvenienceIf the weather changes unexpectedly, you can adjust your awning without stepping outside. Perfect for those moments when you’re entertaining or relaxing.

3. Smart Safety FeaturesMany electric awnings include wind or sun sensors, automatically retracting in high winds to protect your investment.

Why Choose a Manual Awning?

1. Simple & ReliableWith fewer moving parts, manual awnings are low-maintenance and have a long lifespan. They’re operated with a smooth hand crank, giving you complete control.

2. No Power RequiredA great choice for areas without a convenient power supply. They can be installed almost anywhere without the need for electrical work.

3. Budget-FriendlyManual awnings typically cost less upfront, making them an excellent option for those wanting a high-quality awning at a lower price point.
