Technical Data for Folding Arm Awnings

FIXING METHODS

There are 3 main fitting arrangements, and all can be face fitted to a wall or top fixed to the underside of a soffit.

SQUARE BAR

Several fixing points across the width of the awning with some flexibility in their positioning.

END FIX

Fixing points at each end of the awning.

CASSETTE FIX

Several fixing points across the width, at precise, factory selected positions.

CASSETTES

The awning structure is powder coated and the sheets are treated to resist the sun's rays, other atmospheric contents and the action of moulds, micro-organisms and saltness, and carry a 5 year warranty.  However it is advisable, for neatness and added protection to provide a cover for the sheet when rolled up.

WEATHERBOARD

A top cover to protect the awning sheet from rain and droppings and to provide a seal to the wall to prevent rain dripping down between the awning and the wall.

SEMI - CASSETTE

A powder coated casing around the roller with the arms folding underneath.

FULL CASSETTE

The casing encloses the roller and arms completely.

SPACE REQUIREMENT

The housing size varies from model to model but is typically 270mm x 270mm.  The minimum height requirement is 220mm for the COMBI / COMPACTA and ORLY models.

SIGN WRITING

Our in house facility can brand the awning sheet and / or valance with logos and customised art work.

SHEETS

Reinforced PVC or acryllic sheets with a 5 year warranty are available in a wide selection of plain colours, broad stripes and attractive multi stripes.  Flame retardant materials can also be provided.

AUTOMATIC CONTROLS

We offer customised control systems with the most common options being radio control, sun and wind sensors.

MANUAL OVERRIDE

Electrically operated awnings can also have a manual gearbox to operate the awning in the event of power failure.  Only available with uncassetted models and wall switch controls (not remote).
