NuImage Premier Models
NuImage G150, G250, and the K300 are top of the line models. If you’re looking for sophistication, strength and beauty you need look no further. So let’s take a deeper look at the differences between these three models.
NuImage Awnings is one of our preferred manufacturers of shade systems. They make wonderful products, but we also love the fact that they are a family-run business that has been around for decades.
There are very few things you can do at this price point that will give you as much bang for your buck. The price tag for these beauties will be $8,000 – $15,000, based on a 20 x 13 model. That being said, the value you receive in return is incredible. It’s one of the reasons we enjoy installing retractable shade systems.
The thing is, not all manufacturers are created equal. That’s why it’s so important to do your homework BEFORE you make your final decision. NuImage is one of our favorite companies because its awnings are strong, beautiful and sport one of the best warranties in the business.

“Transform your space with Breslow’s Aristocrat Awnings for the perfect blend of style, versatility, and year-round comfort.”
It provides protection for your shade system by enclosing the fabric and arms on the top and sides. Typically, the bottom is left open (a fully cassetted system fully encloses your awning). The enclosure protects your shade system from the elements and extends the life of your awning.
A fully cassetted awning can be a great thing if you live in an area where the climate is a little more punishing. We install a lot of these on beach properties.
When you retract the shade system the fabric and arms are fully enclosed in a cassette. Unlike the partially cassetted system, the bottom is closed as well. If you’re looking to increase the life of your awning this is a terrific system to have.

The NuImage 7700 is a smaller awning that’s affordable – yet doesn’t sacrifice quality or style.
Also if you’re looking to adjust the pitch, the 7700 series comes with a durable extruded 7-pin shoulder. This a different system from the articulating forged shoulder used in the G150, G250, and the K300.
There is an optional fabric-wrapped front bar with or without a drop.
This is another more affordable awning from NuImage. If you’re looking for something bigger the Nuimage 8700 has larger widths and projections available.
Another difference between the NuImage 7700 and NuImage 8700 is the flex pitch that’s operated by a hand crank. You can pitch the awning from front to back and left to right to track the setting sun or even drop the side of your awning to expel rainwater.
NuImage Awnings also offer some additional options for those of you looking for a top of the line awning.
Motorization makes extending and retracting your awning a breeze and it’s available for all NuImage Awnings. We can discuss all the available options during your consultation.
Note: The 7700 and 8700 are manual systems, but you can elect to add a motor to these models as well.
If you purchase the NuImage Titan or Somfy RTS motor, a wind sensor is available. The Eolis 3D WireFree RTS sensor protects your awning when the wind starts to whip up. We’re only human, so it’s easy to forget to retract your awning when the weather changes. This takes some of the room for error out of the mi.
NuImage also carries solar shades. If you want complete control of low angle rays you may want to consider installing a solar shade. They work like a charm and look incredibly sophisticated:
NuImage Awnings offer strength, beauty, and innovation all wrapped up in one package.
At Breslow Home Design Center, we spend a lot of time deciding what manufacturers to carry for our selection of shade systems. NuImage manufactures some of the finest awnings and solar shades available today. Their products hold up during inclement weather, increase the value of your home and decrease energy consumption.
NuImage allows you to create an outdoor space that will let you entertain family and friends knowing they are protected from harmful UV rays while still enjoying the great outdoors.

At Breslow Home Design Center we like to support American-made products. While we really like the fact that NuImage awnings are manufactured in the US – we can’t deny that European awning engineering is some of the best in the world.
Because they have been using awnings longer than us, their technology is more advanced. NuImage appreciates this and purchased European process machinery to ensure their awnings are made with the best technology in the business.
They also go one step further to provide you with the best possible products. If you buy the K300, G150 or the G250, their drop-forged components are manufactured by a German supplier that went to great expense to wind load test their strength. The 8700 and 7700 also use Italian high-quality cast components. Strength and beauty is the result of meticulous sourcing and manufacturing.
As if that isn’t enough, Futureguard is committed to the environment. They collaborate with industry partners to recycle acrylic fabric scraps into temporary disaster relief shelter tarps for places like Africa and Haiti. When an emergency crops up, these tarps are used for shelter by people who have lost everything. We enjoy working with companies that take their role in the world seriously.
NuImage takes the safety of its customers seriously! They have some of the top innovators in the industry and they pride themselves on the strength of the components they use. If you order the K300, G150 or the G250, they use:
In a nutshell, they work tirelessly to create awnings that stand the test of time…while retaining their style and beauty. It’s a balancing act they’ve achieved in spades. The good news is NuImage’s more economical models still don’t compromise on quality. Both the 7700 and 8700 use:
Wind is always an issue when it comes to solar shades and awnings. As you can imagine their design makes them vulnerable to heavy gusts. How your shade system performs in a windy situation should always be a consideration when you purchase a shade system.
We’re happy to report that NuImage takes this issue very seriously. So much so, that they funded their own wind tests for their solar shades and have gone above and beyond to source incredibly strong components for their awnings.
NuImage is confident their awnings and solar shades are able to withstand wind gusts. But the truth of the matter is, you should never “test” your shade systems. The rule of thumb is if you can’t read a newspaper comfortably roll your awning or solar shades in. At the end of the day flying debris is a bigger concern than wind when it comes to stormy weather.
