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.
Nulmage Awnings
Why We Recommend NuImage Awnings
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. View Gallery
NuImage G150: Heavy Duty Wrapped Front Bar
The Nuimage G150 is a strong, sleek awning with traditional lines. The G150 has a fabric-wrapped front bar. You also have the option to add a Weatherguard hood and/or a drop screen. Another difference is, this awning has a larger potential projection than the G250.
- Width Range: The G150 awning can be manufactured in widths ranging from 11 feet to 26 feet. This wide range allows for coverage of small to large outdoor spaces.
- Projection Options: There are several projection lengths available, which determine how far the awning extends outward from the mounting point. These projections are available in the following lengths: 6 feet 11 inches, 8 feet 6 inches, 10 feet 2 inches, 11 feet 8 inches, 13 feet 2 inches, and 14 feet 6 inches.
- Minimum Width for Each Projection: The awning has minimum width requirements corresponding to each projection length. These are:
- 9 feet wide for a 6 feet 11 inches projection
- 10 feet wide for an 8 feet 6 inches projection
- 12 feet wide for a 10 feet 2 inches projection
- 14 feet wide for an 11 feet 8 inches projection
- 15 feet wide for a 13 feet 2 inches projection
- 17 feet wide for a 14 feet 6 inches projection
It’s important to note that awnings wider than 23 feet typically require a spliced torsion bar, especially for widths over 23 feet. This consideration is essential for ensuring the structural integrity and proper functioning of the awning at larger sizes.
- Heavy duty drop forged arm joint components: These forgings are pound-for-pound 4 times stronger than typical forgings. To give you an idea of just how strong they are – professional golf clubs are made with the same drop-casting process.
- Articulating drop forged shoulders: Allows you to change the pitch up to 45 degrees. This makes these models incredibly resilient.
- Welded fabric top for invisible, super-strong seams
- German-engineered & designed
- Limited lifetime framework warranty: This includes all stationary parts.
- 20-Year Futureguard warranty on moving parts
- Frame Color: Resilient electrostatic powder coated finish in white, almond, sand or black/brown

NuImage G250 Retractable Awnings: Partially Cassetted
The NuImage Pro G250 is a strong, sophisticated awning with a modern feel. The primary difference between this awning and the G150 is that this system is partially cassetted. This allows the awning to virtually disappear against your home once it’s retracted. It also protects the fabric and arms from the elements. With the wrap-around hood, this awning is also perfect for roof mounting.

NuImage K300 Retractable Awnings
If you have minimal mounting space the K300 Retractable Awning is the perfect solution. The combination of its compact, state-of-the-art European design and its elegant fully-enclosed cassette is both fashionable and functional. Double wall extrusions, drop-forged arm components, and solution-dyed acrylic fabrics make this awning both strong and beautiful and great for tight spaces. This awning is fully cassetted which means the fabric and arms are enclosed and protected from inclement weather. Another difference is this awning comes with a smaller projection and width.

NuImage 7700: Quality & Savings with Less Width & Projection
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 is 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.

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 8700: Quality & Savings with More Width & Projection
Additional Options for Your Awning
NuImage Awnings also offers some additional options for those of you looking for a top-of-the-line awning.
MOTORIZATION
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.
WIND SENSORS
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 FlexShade Systems
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:
FlexShade Zip Solar Screens
- These solar shades are powder-coated for resilience
- Colors available for the frame: Sand, Almond, White, Charcoal Bronze, Black or Silver
- Fully cassette in extruded aluminum with side channels

The NuImage FlexShade Zip is a terrific solar shade and it can be used on patios, porches, windows, and shade systems.
Under Futureguard wind load testing these shades performed very well in the down position in gusty weather. These solar shades are full-cassettes with side retention channels to keep the screen secure. Check out the attributes of the FlexShade Zip now!

The design is minimalist and clean. The fabric is protected by an integrated cassette headbox. You can choose between cable or side channels to prevent the hem-bar from moving in the wind.
NuImage FlexShade Systems
NuImage Awnings offers 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. If you have any questions about NuImage Awnings, give us a call today and book a free consultation. A designer will come out to your home to discuss the specific nature of your property and vision.
At Breslow Home Design Center we like to support American-made products. While we 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 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 are 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:
- Heavy-duty drop-forged arm joint components – these forgings are pound for pound stronger than typical forgings
- Articulating drop-forged shoulder
- Welded fabric top for invisible and STRONG seams
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 that NuImage’s more economical models still don’t compromise on quality. Both the 7700 and 8700 use:
- High-Quality Cast Components:
- Welded fabric top for invisible and STRONG seams
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 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 can withstand wind gusts. But the truth of the matter is, that 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.
- If you’re interested in finding out more about their wind testing, give us a call today at Breslow Home Design Center. We have more information about NuImage Awnings wind resistance.
What is a Fully Cassetted System?
A fully cassette 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 cassette 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.
What is a Partially Casetted System?
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.
