About Acacia

Our Philosophy

The conventional awning market is slow to deliver and there is a lot of overhead. In today’s world, there are much more efficient ways to get products to you more directly. We have worked with our production and logistics teams to streamline and optimize our processes. Acacia delivers outstanding quality quickly for very competitive prices and we pass these cost savings along to our customers.

We don’t compromise on quality to reduce costs. We use quality German engineered products and components and save through elimination of unnecessary inefficiencies in our processes.

If you order one of our Mimosa’s today, we will ship it tomorrow and you will receive it in 1 to 2 weeks depending on your location. We believe you should have your awning when you need it and not when the summer is over.

Mark Tizya

Awning Expert

Mark began his career in 1989 as an apprentice in the glass trade and earned his journeyman status in 1992. As a result of his natural aptitude for leadership and management, he was headhunted by a European rollshutter and awning company in 1997 and became the Regional Manager in their Vancouver branch. Six years later he started Heritage Shade & Shutter and his company grew exponentially, adding a manufacturing arm in the second year and supplying commercial outdoor patio installations to restaurant chains including Cactus Club in the following year. In 2012 he spun off into a solar energy division, Novo Solar Solutions. His broad knowledge in the renewable energy field coupled with an array of successful projects landed him various speaking opportunities in the company of David Suzuki and others advocating for a clean energy future.

In 2019, Mark fell in love with Vancouver Island and decided to leave city living in favour of the slower pace and natural beauty. He sold his businesses in Vancouver and, ever the serial entrepreneur, acquired Lifetime Exterior Shades in 2020 and quadrupled its sales in the first year. His expertise has been instrumental in the rapid growth of lifetime Exterior Shades on numerous fronts. In 2022 Mark chose to build Lifetimes products locally to provide shorter lead times and more affordable prices for the company’s clients.
