Both rain and sun sensors can be installed on folding arm awnings. We can program a sun sensor to extend the awning as the sun enters the windows. As the sun goes down, the sensor will let the awning retract. Similarly, a rain sensor lets the awning extend or retract when it starts raining, depending on your preference.
Our folding arm awnings can shade considerably large spaces. Some individual units can be as big as 7m wide with a 4m projection. Specific coupled units can easily allow for up to 13.5m wide, also with a 4m projection. Fold Arm Awnings can therefore cover a large part of your outdoor entertainment area.
Folding arm awnings operate in two dynamic ways – a crank handle or an electric motor. We generally recommend opting for the motorised version. Not only are they easier to use but a motor also enables us to install a protective wind sensor. As with the sun and rain sensors, a wind sensor retracts or extends your awning if necessary.
To keep folding arm awnings secure, they need to be securely attached to the building. Wall mounting happens when the awning fixes to a wall with a solid sub-structure. Ceiling mountings occur when we attach the mounting brackets to the solid ceiling structures. The last mounting option involves rafter mounting where brackets fasten to a rafter member.
