Unfold Some Shade this Easter with Folding Arm Awnings
07/04/2017The sun is out and getting stronger as we race through spring. Easter is this weekend and we hope that you can be out enjoying some spring sunshine over the bank holiday. When the sun is at its zenith, it’s nice to have a patch of shade to relax in. That’s where folding arm awnings really come into their own.
Casting Shadows
Folding arm awnings are an optimal solution for spaces where you want to:
- Cast a shadow
- Reduce the glare from the sun
- Fully block UV rays
- Block out solar gain
- Modes of Operation
Folding arm awnings are tucked away when not in use. When you require shade, the folding arms extend and lock into place. We can set them up so they are operated manually or we can automate your folding arm awnings so that they extend at the touch of a button. Our handheld remote control transmitters work at a distance of up to 20 metres.
Accessorise your Awning
All the models of folding arm awnings that we supply and install come with a number of optional extras. By accessorising, you can adapt the environment beneath your awning – providing light at night time or heat from a heat lamp on a chilly evening. These awning accessories provide a great atmosphere outside your home or business.
Wet and Windy Weather
Folding arm awnings are sun shades. They are designed to be safely folded away during periods of heavy wind and rain. That said, we can supply awnings that have been tested and shown to withstand winds at force 5 on the Beaufort Scale.
If you are interested in attaching a folding arm awning to the side of your home or business, get in touch. We can fit awnings to most properties – we even have special brackets that enable folding arm awnings to be attached to bungalows and single storey extensions. For more information, see the folding arm awning product pdfs on our website or call 01603 410304.
