Folding-arm awning
Add style to your terrace or balcony with a folding-arm awning
The folding-arm awning is the most popular choice for a cool, shady terrace or balcony protected from UV rays. The frame and foldable or telescopic arms can be used to open and close the awning manually, by motor or automatically.


Mounting your folding-arm awning
Whether you live in an apartment or house, fix your folding-arm awning to a wall for a terrace or ceiling for a balcony.
Choosing your folding arm awning
There are three main types of folding-arm awnings. The level of protection for awnings varies according to the model you choose.
- Folding-arm awning with coverboard: basic protection from wind and rain.
- Cassette folding-arm awning: highest level of fabric protection from weather damage.
- Box folding-arm awning: total protection for fabric and frame from weather damage.
