Solair Retractable Awnings — Authorized Texas Dealer
Texas Made Shade is a certified Solair dealer for San Antonio, Austin and the Hill Country. We sell, install and service the complete Solair retractable awning line — premium Sunbrella® fabrics, Somfy® motors, wind sensors, LED lighting and full hood protection — built to take the Texas sun.
Unlike pure installers, we're a 30-year fabrication shop. We measure, install and service every Solair awning ourselves — and we can fabricate custom welded shade structures alongside it if your patio needs both.
Built For The Texas Sun
Solair is the premium retractable awning we trust on Texas patios. Here's why we sell and install it.
Heavy-Duty Aluminum Frame
Solair's extruded aluminum frame and arms are engineered for daily use under the Texas sun — not the lighter residential hardware sold direct-to-consumer.
Premium Sunbrella® Fabrics
Solids, stripes and tweeds in genuine Sunbrella® acrylic — 10-year fade warranty, mildew-resistant, marine-grade.
Somfy® Motorization
Quiet 110V Somfy tubular motors with handheld remote standard. Add a hardwired switch, smart-home control or full automation.
Wind & Sun Sensors
Optional wireless sensors auto-retract before a storm and auto-extend in midday sun — hands-free shade.
LED Lighting & Heat
Integrated LED light bars and optional infrared heaters turn your patio into an evening room.
Full Hood Protection
Solair's full cassette hood protects fabric and motor from sun, rain and UV — adding years of service life.

Frame Colors
White, Bronze, Sandstone, Black, Cream — powder-coated to resist Texas UV and corrosion.
Sunbrella® Fabrics
Hundreds of solids, stripes and tweeds. Custom welded valances and Valance Plus drop-down sun shade.
Motor & Controls
Somfy® 110V tubular motor with handheld remote. Add wall switch, smart-home (Alexa / Google / Apple Home) or full automation.
Wind & Sun Sensors
Wireless wind sensor auto-retracts before storms. Sun sensor extends in midday heat — no app, no thinking.
LED Lighting & Heat
Integrated LED light bars under the front bar; optional infrared heaters extend evening use into winter.
Hood Protection
Full hood option closes over the cassette to shield fabric and motor from sun and rain when retracted.
Sizing
Widths from 8 ft to 24 ft+. Projections to 13 ft. Side-by-side configurations for wider patios.
Mounting
Wall, soffit or fascia mounting. Brick, stucco, hardie, wood — we handle every Texas exterior.
Financing
Financing available on approved credit. Ask about current Solair seasonal promotions.

Solair Awnings Installed By A Real Texas Shop
Most Solair dealers are sales-and-install only. Texas Made Shade is also a full fabrication shop — welding, sewing, custom steel and aluminum. That means when your Solair install needs a custom wall bracket, a steel mounting beam, or a side panel sewn to match, we build it in-house instead of subcontracting it out.
