SOL-LUX IRAGE RODUCT VERVIEW The Mirage Awning is a state of the art lateral arm awning. When retracted, the housing provides protection against the elements while the streamlined styling blends in with the house. The full tension canopy fabric allows the awning to be partially or fully extended for best shade coverage.
Two styles of Somfy remotes are available. Interior rated remote and Exterior rated remote. Either remote can operate the awning. Remote style is specified at time of purchase. All Mirage awnings are supplied with a Somfy Wind Sensor standard, which is paired to the motor prior to shipment.
IRAGE NSTALLATION For structural and operation integrity, the Mirage WM awning must be mounted with the included mounting plates and cannot be mounted using an awning rail. Prior to mounting the awning, ensure that the awning will not interfere with light fixtures, exhaust vents, openings, etc.
