Phantom Awnings retractable awnings improve both the appearance and functionality of a home or business.

Phantom retractable awnings have long-term manufacturer's warranties and are renowned for achieving the highest level of customer satisfaction.
Each Phantom Awning product is manufactured to the specifications specifically to what you want and need. We manufacture your awning within an inch of your desired width, allowing the home and awning to flow together as a single design, without any bulky ends sticking out of the designated area, thus maximizing their outdoor living experience.

Regardless of space size, Phantom Awnings has the perfect awning for your outdoor space. Our retractable awnings can be specially designed for areas that require a full projection but do not accommodate the minimum width requirements of a standard awning.
Our awnings can also be manufactured with unique slope adjustment gears incorporated into the arm shoulders to allow infinite inclination adjustments.
We offer a vast array of size, pitch, and projection offerings for your space. We can go as wide as 40ft and projections above 15ft.
We offer both a Semi-Cassette and Fully-Cassette retractable awnings. Unlike traditional awnings, these consist of a system where the roller with fabric top is enclosed by the top and bottom profiles, leaving only the arms and valance exposed when the awning is retracted or a fully enclosed system with no exposure.
The look of our enclosed awnings is slick and melds perfectly with modern architecture whilst ensuring the risk of damage from the elements is minimal. No sacrificing style and functionality; with Phantom Awnings you get both!
Our retractable awnings feature an immense amount of flexibility to suit your needs, allowing for control depending on the weather, and can be customizable with size depending on the uniqueness of your outdoor space. Your retractable awning can be extended or retracted, giving you the control over the amount of shade and sunlight you have within your outdoor space. Further, our awnings can also be angled in some applications, allowing for water runoff, or shading on side more than the other.
Phantom Awnings can be made to withstand the ebbs and flow of Canadian weather. These loads become more significant for awnings with larger projections and in particularly over a 13'0" projection.

Phantom Awnings' offers our own exclusive World of Sattler fabric collection of 100% solution-dyed marine grade acrylic fabrics. This designer collection is available in a wide variety of solid and striped patterns to satisfy any taste and complement any home's décor. The World of Sattler collection is carefully selected from leading European fabric mills, which assures the finest quality and exclusive designs for the North American market. Acrylic fabrics are engineered for a substantially longer lifespan when compared to non-acrylic fabrics such as polyester and cotton canvas (used in low-quality awnings).
Our top-quality acrylic fabrics in the World of Sattler collection use solution-dyed acrylic fibers, meaning the color is added to the fibers during synthesis, while they are still in a liquid state. This technique locks the color in, assuring a long life, and allows for easy cleaning. For detailed cleaning and care instructions, please see the fabric warranty.
All our fabrics were treated with Teflon or Scotchgard fluorocarbon fabric protectors, creating a barrier between the fabric and elements. The fabric treatment also reinforces the water repellency of the fabric and keeps it looking newer longer. Due to this treatment, dirt does not penetrate the fabric.
The Lumera line is a premium quality acrylic fabric. It is woven with newly developed fibers characterized by particular brilliant colours, and a very smooth and dense surface. Due to the dense surface, the Lumera fabric generates a self-cleaning effect where the material prevents dirt from adhering to itself while withstanding water pressure.
For your convenience, we have divided the collection into 8 categories based on their prominent color or style. Feel free to browse the collection by clicking the swatches above.
* Please note that colors may appear slightly different on your computer screen than in actuality.
In addition to the World of Sattler collection, we carry the full range of Sunbrella® fabrics manufactured in the US by Glen Raven Mills. For Sunbrella fabrics, please visit their awning fabric showroom at www.sunbrella.com.
View FabricsFiresist® fabrics manufactured by Glen Raven are flame retardant and UV resistant which is required by some commercial projects. They are available in 14 solid colours. Firesist® fabrics are guaranteed for a period of 5 years against loss of colour or strength.
