Drop-arm awning with maroon striped fabric on the balcony of a home

Drop-arm and curved awnings for windows

Curved and drop-arm awnings are the classic awnings for windows and balconies: the fabric comes down at an angle in front of the opening and lets the air through. The curved awning has an arched front, which sheds water better and stands up well to gusts. We make them to measure in Elche, with or without tension.

Curved awning

Its arched shape lets water run off by itself and makes it hard for the wind to lift it. It looks more finished than an ordinary window awning, which is why it is chosen for façades where the awning is very visible.

Drop-arm awning

The arms pivot from a fixed point on the façade and the fabric comes down at an angle in front of the window or balcony. You choose how far to tilt it: more closed for the low sun, more open to see the street.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a drop-arm awning?

A window or balcony awning whose arms pivot from a fixed point; the fabric comes down at an angle in front of the opening. In Spain it is called a toldo de punto recto.

What is the advantage of a curved awning?

The arched front lets water run off and makes it less affected by the wind, and it looks smarter on the façade.

Do window awnings reduce the heat indoors?

They stop the sun before it reaches the glass, which is where the heat comes from. How much cooler the room gets depends on the orientation of the window.

How wide can it be?

We recommend up to 7 metres wide with 1.5 metres projection.

What does "with tension" or "without tension" mean?

With tension, springs keep the fabric taut in any position. Without tension, the fabric hangs under its own weight. The first copes better with the wind.

Can it be motorised?

Yes, as an option.

Is it suitable for a balcony with a railing?

Yes. We set the tilt so the fabric does not touch the railing.
