WHAT ARE DROP ARM AWNINGS?

Drop Arm Awnings also known as pivot arm awnings are a simple yet stylish type of awning. They are made up of a headbox which houses the awnings fabric and 2 spring tensioned arms which are attached to the wall or architraves of a building.  These tensioned arms pull the awning fabric out of the head box and also give the awnings fabric its tension. Drop arm awnings travel in an arc range of motion from approximately 10 degree to 135 degrees which makes them unique in their design and exceptionally versatile.  Popular in Europe its simple design means fewer moving parts which makes them exceptionally durable and relatively maintenance free.  Drop Arm Awnings are the perfect  solution for proving shade and protection from the harsh Australian sun.

Drop arm awnings can give a building a touch of  European charm as they can be projected outwards away from the window or doorway to create a canopy type appearance.  Available in a huge array or fabric designs and colours  these awnings are highly adaptable and will suit most facades. Drop arm awnings can be manually operated with a crank mechanism or can be motorised to operate with the simple touch op a button.
