Awnings for every need
The types of awnings are different, each designed to fit to different details of the balcony or terrace. Some awnings are ideal for small apartments, while others lend themselves perfectly to condominiums. Below are our categories:
– Folding arm awnings: these are the most popular of all, the optimal solution for small to large areas. The awning features 2 or more extendable arms mounted on independent plates, on a square bar and the possibility of being equipped with a protective cassette.
– Vertical awnings : Vertical awnings are used as cover for vertical spaces for terraces, standard windows and glass walls
– Dutch awnings: historically used for commercial activities, they’re now also also popular in residential areas. They are oval, domed or spherical in shape.
– Side rail awnings: these are ideal for balconies or verandas and the fabric is “guided” along the length of the window or door.
The Fabric
You can choose from a wide range of acrylic or resin fabrics, depending on your needs and preferences. Teflon treatment provides water and oil resistance, making fabrics rot-proof, immune to mold growth and resistant to grease. The fabrics are also resistant to fading traditionally caused by sunlight.
Each fabric is evaluated according to UNI EN 13561 to define the performance requirements of awning fabrics and their safety. The awning aims to increase environmental comfort and improve visual comfort while contributing to an increasing focus on energy conservation.
The color of the fabric
There are many colors available for awnings. Solid colors, stripes, and patterned designs in a variety of colors are used to allow matching with the exterior decor of the house and the coloring of the exterior walls of the building.
The opening mechanism
There are basically two mechanisms for opening awnings, namely manual or automated. The first type is the most economical, while the second type suits those who want a more technologically advanced product.
