How large is the outdoor area would you like to shade?

And in which direction does your patio or balcony face? These factors decide how big the awning needs to be and which type of awning from our range is most suitable. As a rule one can say, that a patio awning that spans the whole area of the patio is visually more appealing than a small one that only covers part of it. Our highly trained technicians will take precise measurements on site and explain which solution is ideal for your place.

Why an awning projection is the most important criteria to consider?

Awning projection refers to the retractable and extendable part of an awning that is covered with awning fabric. As a rule, the projection is defined as a value when specifying the dimensions of awnings. So two of the most important dimensions to consider when buying an awning are length and projection. 

Which fabrics is the best for my awning?

This depends on the area of application and your individual preferences and needs. We provide you with the right awning fabric for every requirement: whether translucent, air-permeable, waterproof or flame-retardant, we have it all.

Can an awning be retrofitted with a motor?

Yes. It is possible to convert a manual awning into an electric awning. If you would like to have your awning retrofitted with a motor, it is best to contact us to get a better idea about our own motors collection.

Motorized or manually operated retractable awnings

Electrically operated awnings for patio and balcony: that is pure luxury. They can be extended and retracted by radio remote control or by smart phone. In the case of electrical awnings for patio and balcony, any integrated lighting and heating accessories can also be operated remotely. Should you still want a manually operated awning with crank handle?  We are perfectly willing to manufacture this for you as well. And a combination of both operations types is also perfectly conceivable.

What is a valance on the awning?

The valance on an awning is the fabric that hangs down vertically on the front profile. While it acts as a decorative element, the valance also serves as vertical sun protection, but quickly reaches its limits in this function due to its often narrow design. If you would like better protection from the low-lying sun, we recommend the auvent royal side screens, which is the perfect addition to your patio awning. 

Do you mind if it's a little more: Adding more privacy side screens

Whether you wish to protect yourself against low-lying sun, the wind or inquisitive glances, side screens are the ideal choice. Our side screens, just like our folding-arm are made to measure. So, whatever size, shape or colour you wish your vertical shading to be, we can manufacture it uniquely based on your requirements.

Can you leave your awnings open when it snows or rains?

In bad weather conditions, however, you should retract your awning to protect the awning fabric, folding arms and the technology.
