This style of awning reminds many people of the humble versions that adorn Italian homes and cafés. But with their simple look and flexible functionality, these roll-up shades have a universal, timeless appeal that make them great for any setting.
A classic style gets a modern upgrade
Retractable window awnings are also known as drop-arm awnings, as it is these spring-tensioned arms that are their defining feature. Their design give more control options and a greater resistance to the elements. They’re also versatile in terms of appearance, looking equally at home whether on a modern glass high-rise, an historic Victorian home, or a rustic forest cabin.
Retractable window awnings provide great benefits both inside and outside your home.
- Range of motionThe arms can drop down to come out 90 degrees from the wall, angling the fabric to provide generous shade. The arms can then bring the fabric up and out of the way when not needed.
- Wind resistanceThe spring arms put constant tension on the fabric that keeps it taut, helping it stand up better to moderate winds of up to 38km/h.
- Optional cassetteThere is an aluminum cassette available to protect the fabric from the elements when it's rolled up.
