Fabric Folding Arm Awnings

Australians enjoy entertaining and relaxing outdoors. The Folding Arm Awning is ideal as a roll away cover for a patio, deck, balcony or commercial applications such as restaurants. With a folding arm awning you can create an outdoor room that protects against the sun or light rain as well as creating a cosy private ambience.

The arms fold horizontally instead of vertically as in other awnings. The Folding Arm Awning is cantilevered out from the wall so one is able to walk around underneath the awning without walking into the arms and no intrusive posts. When retracted the space is free of any structure or posts.

The Folding Arm Awning can be mounted onto the face of the building. On a brick wall seven courses of bricks are necessary above the awning.

With the addition of facia or eave brackets the awning can be installed from the rafters of the roof where there are insufficient courses of bricks in the wall to support the awning.

Windoware Folding Arm Awnings

Our standard range of folding arm awnings is the French made Windoware awning. The superior strength and engineering of the Windoware folding arm awnings gives you peace of mind. They have a full five year gaurantee on all folding arm awning components.

The maximum width of the awning is 25 metres and the maximum projection is 4.0 metres. The width of the awning must be 450mm wider than the arm projection to allow the arms to fold.

A Folding Arm Awning can be operated either by crank handle or electric motor but electric motors are recommended where the awning has more than two arms (greater than 6 metres in width).

The slope of the standard Folding Arm Awning can be adjusted at the time of installation; customer adjustable pitch control via a crank handle is available as an extra cost option. A colourbond or aluminium headbox is also available as an extra option.

If sufficient slope can be obtained, the awning will withstand light showers but it should be considered as a sunscreen rather than as a retractable roof due to wind restrictions.

It should be rolled away whenever the wind seems to be moving the awning too much and it should never be left extended whilst the house is unattended unless it is connected to automatic weather sensors which will roll it away when the wind exceeds a preset level.

Voss Folding Arm Awnings

Our premium brand of folding arm awnings is the Aluxor range made by Voss in Germany - the Mercedes Benz of folding arm awnings. Aluxor folding arm awnings are stylish, innovative and highly reliable, backed by a five year warranty.

All operating components are designed and manufactured in Germany and certified by the international testing agency TUV to the European standard 'CE Marking'.

Unlike early model folding arms that utilised chains, the Secuflex 7011 folding arms use three tensioned, spring loaded, PVC coated cables that provide maximum wind stability and fabric tension.

The Secuflex 7011 arms are able to withstand 120,000 cycles of stress, as certified by Materials Testing authority of Germany. If the awning is operated once a day, that equates to over two hundred years.
