About Us
We are a leading manufacturer and supplier of awnings, tensile structures, and umbrellas.
WriteThese are a modern version of the old storefront crank-up awnings of the last century. The two, three or four tension arms (width dependent) and a top tube are supported by a torsion bar. With a Traditional 'Open Style' folding arm awning the torsion bar (also known as square bar) fits into wall or soffit or fascia or roof mounted brackets that spread the load to the wall or roof truss. The newer 'Full Cassette' style of folding arm awning does away with the torsion bar and uses an aluminium extrusion that interlocks with brackets that in-turn spreads the cantilevered force imposed by the awning into the structure it is fitted to.[3] Hand-cranked awnings are still available, but motorized awnings are now most common due to advances in technology, manufacturing & reliability over the last few decades. The motor is inside the roller tube that the fabric rolls around and therefore is not visible. Many motors now have a built-in receiver and are operated by remote control, smartphone, tablet or home automation.
Lateral arm awnings are also known as folding arm, deck or patio awnings, as they can extend / project as far as 5 m (16 ft) and when several awnings are coupled together, can be as wide as 16 m (52 ft) or more – thus covering a large outdoor space. Normally a single folding arm awning can only span 7 m (23 ft) in a single system due to difficulties transporting, storing and powder coating extrusion greater than this size.
The most common fabric choice for folding arm awning is solution dyed acrylic fabric that comes in a variety of styles, colours, patterns as well as performance grades for water repellence and fire retardancy. Solution dyed acrylic fabric is the most suitable fabric for use in these awnings due to dimensional properties, ease of manufacturing, weight (versus woven mesh) & high levels of filtering of and resistance against UV your text here...
