America’s quality fabric retractable awnings from Craft-Bilt…reliability since 1946

When Craft-Bilt Manufacturing Company founder Bud Stone started his company in the basement of an old schoolhouse in 1946, he shared a simple vision with his fellow workers. Like many American entrepreneurs returning from service in World War II, he wanted to build a business that provided a quality product. But more than that, he wanted to build a reputation for providing a safe work environment, delivering quality product, and providing his customers with service that went “the extra distance.”

Since 1946 Craft-Bilt has fulfilled that vision while growing consistently in size and product lines. Starting with Venetian Blinds in 1946 and adding the Aristocrat Awning line in 1986, today we are a recognized leader and innovator in manufacturing for the home improvement industry.

Our Aristocrat Awning, Canopy, and Shades product team uses specialized cutting, welding, and sewing equipment designed specifically for the production of retractable awnings, exterior solar shades, and retractable canopies. Ultrasonic shears cut and seal the fabric with precision and computer controlled equipment automatically hems, seams, and welds the fabric to produce a perfect shade product.

The professional awning dealers who sell and install Aristocrat products throughout the country have their choice of many awning manufacturers. They tell us they choose to represent Aristocrat because it truly is the finest quality retractable awning made in the US today. From our on-time delivery to our customized packaging, we assure a smooth and trouble free process from the time you select the style and fabric you want until the awning is safely and properly installed on your home.
