Our Clients

I have made several purchases from Sunguard. They have been very responsive in all my dealings with them. Michael and Joy have been incredibly helpful with my orders. Robert and Mira were AMAZING at assisting me with some special details I needed with a unique item and even helped with fixing a patio umbrella I didn’t buy from them. They really went above and beyond in Customer Service! The products they carry are beautiful in appearance and functionality, and are of the highest quality. These are the features I look for, and the people that I want to do business with, when adding exterior tables and chairs to my home. I recommend Sunguard for anyone’s outdoor awning or furniture needs!!!

Eaton Centre
One of our most impressive projects to date sits on the rooftop of downtown Toronto’s iconic Eaton Centre. Over 1,000 square feet of louvers offer shade OnDemand as well as a completely waterproof cover for an expansive outdoor boardroom. The space is supplemented with side-by-side fresh white motorized retractable awnings over collaborative work spaces.

Sud Forno Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of downtown Toronto, Sud Forno boasts one of the city’s most unique patios. Overhead, we installed two 40 foot motorized jumbo retractable awnings with telescopic arms featuring wind sensors that automatically close them in high winds. However, the highlight is the custom hand painted graphics on the fabric which promote the brand on the topside, while the underside displays a modern artistic design.

Cardinal golf course
Just north of Toronto is Cardinal Golf Club, Ontario's largest golf facility. When golfers head to the clubhouse, they relax under a Sunguard awning.
  • The main Cardinal clubhouse patio features 2 motorized guided awnings linked to span a total width of 54 feet. Designed with high winds and heavy rain in mind, patrons are protected in any weather.
  • The Red Crest clubhouse and event space features a 600 square foot louvered roof with a 24 ft motorized retractable shade screen attached for wind reduction, heat containment, and late evening shade. The patio is also furnished with seating for 75 patrons using our high-end CabanaCoast outdoor furniture and umbrellas, fitted with Sunbrella fabric.

LaVecchia
In the westend of Toronto, LaVecchia overlooks lake Ontario from one of the best views in the city. On their patio, we’ve installed four motorized retractable folding arm awnings allowing the owners to double their summertime seating capacity. With no structural walls to attached to, the impossible was made possible by designing and engineering custom brackets fitted to wrap around the existing columns. The awnings feature classic solid black Sunbrella fire-resistant fabric and customized graphics.

Rockwood Winery

Over the patio at Niagra’s Rockwood Estates & Winery you’ll see 1000 ft of shade coverage created by three ultra-modern shade sails. Each sail was custom designed to provide overlapping shade for visitors while adding a unique touch to the already picturesque landscape and views.

FAQ

Yes. We also ship requested products to any location in Canada.
Yes. Our professional team of installers and certified electricians install retractable awnings, basket awnings, commercial awnings, sun shelters/gazebos and accessories including motorized and automated components for retractable awnings.
Installations are scheduled ahead of time to ensure that the timing works for you. Depending on the size of the awning and the type of installation, it takes about 2 – 4 hours.
Sunguard does installations in the areas of Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Brampton, Georgetown, Milton, Etobicoke, Metro Toronto, and areas east to Oshawa.
Yes, the awnings can be used in light rain provided that the awning has at least a 15° slope (20° for projections of 11′ 8″ or more). Anything less will lead to water pooling on top of the fabric.
No, the fabric is not waterproof, but it is water-repellent. This means that the fabric will not let water soak through freely, but it will get wet. After an awning has gotten wet it is important to let the awning dry out before retracting it. It is however safe to roll up a wet awning for 24 to 48 hours while damp until any inclement weather subsides.
No, the awning should not be used during a snowfall. A few snowflakes, like light rain, will not harm the awning, but unlike a light rain, snow can accumulate on the fabric, creating additional weight on the fabric and the frame.
Yes, you must always retract your awning during strong winds.
Yes, most of our awnings have this functionality. The method by which you do it depends on your specific model. Some of our models allow you to adjust the slope using the crank provided. While other models will require a few tools to make the slope adjustment.
This is not a problem. This can be remedied by having your awning equipped with a motor. Your awning can then be fully operated with a 3-position switch or a 3-button “Easy as 1,2,3” (1-Extend Awning, 2-Retract Awning, 3-Stop Awning).
This is not a problem. There are several ways to install awnings. Sunguard has experience in handling all installation types from routine installs to custom installations. Call us or visit our showroom and we will ask you specific questions and determine the best way to install your awning. If you have a digital camera, you can make things even more simple by taking pictures of the location and emailing or bringing them to us.
The most common limitation is the dimensions of your building. Retractable awnings can be made well over 20 feet wide, or multiple awnings can be wired to run in tandem, side-by-side.
