01. Phantom Classic
Engineered Durability & Elegant Shade
Built on the proven
Phantom Classic platform
Phantom Classic is our flagship retractable awning for decks and patios—melding the rugged, Canadian-made engineering of the Phantom Classic with a fresh Solaris styling package. Its corrosion-proof, extruded-aluminum frame, four designer powder-coat options (plus custom matching), and adjustable 0°–75° pitch give you year-after-year protection from searing sun or light rain while preserving wide-open sky whenever you want it.
Why Edmonton homeowners choose Phantom Classic
Phantom Classic Advantages
Built for Canadian climates
Thermally treated, extruded-aluminum components and stainless hardware shrug off rust, deformation, and wind stress—ideal for Alberta’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Custom-fit coverage
Each unit is made to order, starting at 6′ 2″ wide and scaling in 1-inch increments with projections up to 11′ 8″—so you get maximum shade without compromise.
Precise pitch control (0°–75°)
A simple hex key lets you change the slope on the fly—drop it low for driving rain or raise it high to chase late-day sun.
Smooth manual or motorized operation
A quick-wind 5 : 1 bevel gear makes hand-cranking effortless, while optional Somfy RTS motors and wind/sun sensors handle everything automatically.
Designer powder-coat palette
Choose White, Ivory, Spinnaker Beige, or Black—or let us custom-match your trim—for a seamless, low-maintenance finish that won’t chalk, peel, or fade.
10-year peace-of-mind warranty
Backed by Phantom’s industry-leading 10-year frame and fabric warranty, Phantom Classic protects both your patio and your investment.
02. Phantom Semi Cassette
Streamlined Protection with Cassette Convenience
Semi-cassette design,
full-featured performance
Phantom Semi Cassette is our sleek, protective retractable awning that conceals the fabric roll inside an aluminum cassette while leaving the folding arms ready for instant shade. The enclosure keeps dirt, rain, and curious critters away from your canopy, and a pivoting arm shoulder pulls the front bar snugly into the cassette to seal everything tight when retracted. Available in durable white or black powder-coat finishes, this Canadian-built system delivers custom-fit shade for decks and patios of almost any size.
Why homeowners choose the Phantom Semi Cassette
Phantom Semi Cassette Advantages
Sealed-in fabric protection
Top- and bottom-cassette profiles enclose the roller, shielding the fabric from dirt, weather, and wildlife so colours stay vibrant longer.
Made-to-measure sizing
Order any width from 6′ 2″ to 19′ 9″ (in 1-inch increments) with five projection options—5′ 0″, 6′ 9″, 8′ 4″, 10′ 0″, and 11′ 8″—for a perfect patio fit.
Wind-lock arm shoulder
A uniquely engineered shoulder pivots upward, locking the front bar into the cassette and reinforcing the awning against sudden gusts.
Aircraft-cable arm strength
PVC-coated aircraft cables and heavy-duty springs inside extruded-aluminum arms keep the fabric drum-tight—even at full 11′ 8″ extension.
Water-tight front seal
The internally reinforced front profile overlaps the cassette when closed, preventing water from seeping inside and prolonging component life.
Built to last, backed by warranty
A galvanized steel roller tube, 40 mm powder-coated square bar, and a 5-year Phantom warranty ensure dependable shade season after season.
03. Phantom Full Cassette
Contemporary Cube Design & Total Fabric Protection
Fully enclosed cassette,
motorized at the touch of a button
Phantom Full Cassette is the pinnacle of our retractable-awning line—a sleek, European-inspired cube that seals the roller, arms, and fabric inside a five-profile aluminum cassette whenever you retract it. The enclosure keeps out dirt, moisture, and wildlife, while a wind-lock arm shoulder pulls the front bar tight for a perfect seal. Built in Canada, finished in textured anthracite metallic powder coat, and delivered motor-ready, Phantom Full Cassette gives you effortless shade and a minimalist look that complements modern architecture.
Why homeowners choose Phantom Full Cassette
Phantom Full Cassette Advantages
Complete all-around protection
Top, back, bottom, front, and inner shell profiles close together to form a true full cassette—shielding the canopy and inner mechanisms from UV, rain, debris, and curious critters.
Modern, compact cube aesthetic
A slim, minimalist frame follows the latest European cubic design trends, delivering big-awning performance without bulky sightlines.
Made-to-measure sizing
Order any width from 7′ 9″ to 23′ 0″ in 1-inch increments with four generous projection options—6′ 9″, 8′ 4″, 10′ 0″, and 11′ 8″—for a precision fit on virtually any deck or patio.
Motorized convenience & smart control
Phantom Full Cassette ships motor-only—pair it with Somfy RTS remotes, wind sensors, or sun-tracking automation for effortless one-touch operation and worry-free storm protection.
Wind-lock arm shoulder & 8°–40° pitch
A uniquely engineered shoulder pivots upward as the awning closes, locking the front bar in place and resisting gusts, while letting you fine-tune the slope anywhere between gentle shade and steep rain run-off.
Anthracite finish & 5-year warranty
The textured anthracite metallic powder coat hides scuffs and complements modern trim, while extruded-aluminum arms with PVC-coated aircraft cables, a galvanized-steel roller tube, and a 5-year Phantom warranty guarantee seasons of dependable shade.

Maintenance
Maintaining Your Awning - A Guide to Longevity
Simple Steps to Keep Your Solaris Canada Awnings in Top Condition
Our awnings are not only easy to operate, they’re also easy to maintain. To start with, the location of your awning determines the frequency we recommend cleaning it. If your home is located inland, you should clean your awning twice a year. If you are on or near the ocean, you should clean your awning once a month due to the salt exposure.
- To clean your awning, spray off loose debris and dirt with a water hose. For bird droppings and other attached residue, use warm water and a soft bristled scrub brush on the spot requiring attention before rinsing with your hose. After you have removed any loose dirt and/or residue, allow your awning to dry completely before coating with a rain repellent such as Scotch Guard.
- If your awning fabric has tougher stains such as mildew, you can attempt to remove the stains with a mild soap, such as Ivory Snow or Woolite, with warm water and a soft bristled scrub brush. Avoid using any product with the word "detergent" in it. Again, only use a mild soap. After using the soap, rinse the awning thoroughly with water from your hose. Allow the awning to dry completely before coating the fabric with a rain repellent as mentioned previously.
- Proper care for the frame of your awning includes rinsing it with water from your hose, wiping it down with a soft cloth and using a 100 percent silicone lubricant on all moving parts of the lateral awning. Again, the lubricant must be 100 percent silicone. Avoid using lubricants such as WD-40 as they will leave a residue and may stain your awning's fabric.
- If the fabric is wet after a rainfall, let the awning dry out (2-3hrs) before retracting it. It is safe to roll up a wet awning for one or two nights, if there is continuous bad weather.
- Do not use awning during a snowfall. A few snowflakes will not harm it but snow will accumulate and weigh down the awning.
- Retract your awning during strong winds to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Frequently Asked Questions
All of our awnings are custom made and take approximately 3 -8 weeks from the time an order is place until it is installed.
If your awning is to be installed directly under an eaves trough or soffit then a hood cover is typically not needed. If the awning is to be exposed to sunlight and weather, a hood cover can extend the life of the fabric.
Our fabrics have been tested and proven to provide up to 98% UV protection from the harmful effects of the sun when used in shade applications. This protective factor is inherent to the product and will not be reduced by usage and/or fabric exposure to the sun.
A motor offers ease of use and is required if a wind sensor is needed. Research has shown that motorized awnings are used 4 times more often than a manual control. All our motors come complete with a convenient plug-in cable (no hard wiring is required) and a wireless remote control which will work up to a hundred feet away even through the walls of your home.
This is really a matter of personal taste. All fabrics provide the same shade although a darker fabric will appear darker underneath where a lighter fabric will appear lighter. UV is absorbed at the same levels, light or dark.
A combination of injection die cast, gravity die cast and extruded aluminum make up the framework of our awnings and ensure rust and corrosion will never be an issue. All aluminum components are then powder coated for a lifetime of strength and durability.
Our acrylic fabrics are water-resistant, not waterproof. Because they are woven, they are highly breathable, allowing the fabric to dry quickly with only air exposure. Another advantage to the acrylic fiber is that it will not support the growth of mildew. The fabrics are treated with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency, meaning a light to medium rain will not allow water to penetrate.
No. Permits are typically not needed for residential awnings, however if your residence has a condo board or architectural controls you may require approval.
All fabrics featured in our awning collection are 100% solution-dyed, acrylic fabric. The colors in the fabric are dyed into the fibers so that they can't fade or run. In addition to their inherent long-lasting durability, all our fabrics are covered by a 10 year warranty.
A 2007 study conducted by the Center for Sustainable Building Research at the University of Minnesota concluded that awnings can save homeowners up to 25 percent on energy costs. The reason? Because awnings result in cooling energy savings by "reducing direct solar gain through windows." In addition, according to the Department of Energy publication, Cooling Your Home, awnings block up to 90 percent of solar heat that is absorbed through windows.
