Drop-arm awning

Ideal for balconies, windows and shopfronts where a full-size terrace awning would project too far. The side arms lower to an angle of up to 135°, offering anything from light shade to an almost vertical screen against heat and unwanted views, while keeping the street in sight.

The angle that works for you

As the awning opens, you can adjust its projection and angle—from standard shade to an almost vertical screen against sun and unwanted views—while keeping the view of the street largely clear.

90° — standard

The standard position shades a window or entrance while preserving the view from the street.

135° — on request

The arm lowers to an almost vertical position, screening the opening from sun and outside views.

Why choose a drop-arm awning

Shade without losing the view

Adjust the angle continuously to block direct sun and outside views while keeping your view through the window.

Compact projection

The arm extends 70–160 cm, ideal for balconies and narrow shopfronts without room for a deep terrace awning.

Lowers almost vertically

An angle of up to 135° provides an alternative to exterior curtains or blinds without completely closing off the opening from inside.

Easy operation

Manual operation with gearbox and crank, or an electric motor with switch or remote control and optional sun and wind sensors.

Fabric protection

The optional L-shaped cassette (type 410) protects the rolled-up fabric from rain and snow.

A façade that fits your style

Choose frame colours and fabrics to match your signage or the style of the building.
