Product Focus: Drop Arm Awnings

05/07/2017

As with all blinds and awnings, drop arm awnings provide sun protection by creating a shaded area. What makes drop arm awnings special is that they can be extended to a steep 150 degrees. This makes them ideal for premises where solar glare hits the window at a low angle. Read on for more information about one of our most versatile and creative awnings.

Drop Arm Design

Drop arm awnings can be supplied at a maximum width of up to 5 metres with a double arm construction or up to 10 metres with a triple arm system that uses a two-part cover. We have two ranges available with awnings from Markilux and Aruba. Whichever range you choose, the flexibility of this style of awning makes it an intelligent and fashionable option for homes and businesses alike.

Solar Protection

With a steep drop angle, these awnings provide excellent variable shade and protection from the sun’s glare for either high level windows or windows that receive a low solar profile. These blinds are also available in Soltis sunscreen fabrics which act like sunglasses for your windows, allowing you to see through the fabric and enjoy the beauty of the outside world without straining your eyes in daylight.

Creative Choice

In addition to the versatility of these awnings (in terms of their sizes and the creative nature of solar protection they offer) these awnings come in a beautiful array of colours and designs. In the Aruba range, we have awnings available in a variety of high-tech fabrics, such as air-permeable Soltis fabrics and the vibrant high-stretch fabrics of the Magic Colours selection. 

Commercial Attraction

In the case of commercial applications where branding and sign writing is a particular requirement, drop arm awnings offer businesses a sleek and stylish way to display their trade name and attract the attention of passing customers.
