It is now over thirty three years when KE Durasol was established and since then the company has been producing Retractable Awnings and Exterior Screens. KE Durasol uses products that are crafted in the USA. They offer large selections of fabric and frame colors. Their line up of products includes the following:

  • Gennius is a cantilevered awning, automatic, and wall mounted. It is intended for sidewalks, porch, urban areas, or zones where penetrating front posts is not allowed or optimal. It is made of fully motorized waterproof fabric that serves as a screen. It is likewise enclosed with optional manual or motorized perimeter solar shades and has a rainwater management system. It is also available in slide wire canopy.
  • Tempo is the type of awning that is freestanding. It is suitable for a patio or deck for outdoor areas where mounting is difficult or impossible. They offer several rainproof fabrics and canvas where customers can do a comparison and choose.
  • KEDRY is claimed to be a bioclimatic pergola. The roof comes with adjustable blades where customers can get to adjust the level of sunlight they want to allow. It is also closeable with retractable zippered awning screens or doors.

KE Durasol also specializes in screen shades and glass screens. These are other kinds of exterior shading systems that customers’ homes might need. Check out KE Durasol retractable patio covers reviews and KE Durasol retractable awnings reviews.

Our Triumph SunShelter awning by KE Durasol was installed about 3 months ago. We’d read the testimonials and reviews. Some were good others weren’t. The canopy is approximately 16’x 14’, which fully covers our patio. The motorized cover is wall mounted and works with a remote. The charcoal-colored aluminum frame hopefully won’t show dirt like our last one which was white. It’s nice to have a choice of more than 500 fabric colors, but less would do. The Triumph’s more expensive than most, so hopefully, it lasts. Unfortunately, the motor seems to be getting louder, and the lateral arms are creaking when they open or close. I’m going to try some spray grease as some reviews suggested.

My wife and I wanted to enjoy our new patio more this past summer, so we checked the reviews and net consumer testimonials, and chatted with different awning suppliers in our area. Based on what we read and heard, we went with the 22-foot wide Bella Plus from KE Durasol. It’s a KE Outdoor SunCassette model. The front bar or rail is curved, so it fits into the awning housing or cassette to help fully seal out the weather, birds, squirrels, and lizards, and therefore it protects the awning fabric better. With the full cassette, we didn’t get the valance, but I’d rather have the awning fully protected than have a frilly piece of fabric fluttering in the wind when it’s open or closed. The aluminum arms are light and delicate but look like they can support the awning in the breezes we have. The electric motor opens or closes the awning quickly and quietly at the push of a button. Although the KE Durasol dealer was 1 1/2 hours late for the installation appointment and didn’t even call to say he was running late, I am cautiously happy with our expensive purchase and am looking forward to enjoying our patio even more.

We’ve had our Regal awning for 10 days. It’s a KE Outdoor SunShelter and shades the deck and inside of the house too. Being retired and home a lot, we open it in the morning and close it every night. The shade makes it more comfortable on hot sunny days. The white aluminum frame has a couple of scratches from the install, but I‘ll touch them up in the fall. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago when it was really humid, and the fabric sagged. We keep it closed if the wind comes up or there’s rain forecast, but humidity? Not a cheap product, so I’m hoping the fabric tightens up in less humid conditions.

My husband bought us a KE Outdoor Sunshelter Elite Plus model – expensive for what you get! Our deck faces southwest, and this model offers something called “R-Pitch,” which means it can be angled easier to block the sun. We’ve used it for a couple of days, but it’s one more thing to go wrong. Too many moving parts mean more to break. The shade is nice, though. Since we didn’t purchase the optional wind or rain sensor, we try to close the canopy if the wind gets up as too many of the reviews expressed wind damage issues. The same goes for the rain. Metal and fabric aren’t as good as a porch roof, but I know for sure a porch roof costs a whole lot more and requires a costly building permit.
