Drop-arm and canopy awnings

Shade over a shop window or entrance, in a modern or decidedly nostalgic form.

The difference

The same principle, a different face

A drop-arm awning and a canopy awning do the same job: they cast shade on the glass of a window, shop front or entrance. The difference is mainly aesthetic. A canopy awning is recognisable by its curved, nostalgic Parisian look. A drop-arm awning has aluminium arms and looks modern and sleek.

Both are a classic choice above shop fronts, but work just as well above a façade window at home. For a hospitality business, a folding-arm awning above the entrance is often an alternative.

  • Canopy awning with a curved nostalgic form
  • Drop-arm awning, sleek and modern
  • For shop window, entrance or façade window
AluBox

Springs that keep the fabric taut, even in wind

AluBox is a drop-arm awning with an aluminium semi-cassette and a weather-resistant acrylic fabric. The springs in the construction keep the fabric permanently tensioned, which keeps it stable even in wind. The build is deliberately simple, with few parts that can wear.

As standard you operate it manually, with a motor as an option. The structure comes in twelve RAL colours or in natural-tone anodised aluminium. For a business, your logo or name can be printed on the fabric, and a valance or an extra side panel can be added.

  • Aluminium semi-cassette
  • Weather-resistant acrylic fabric
  • Logo on the fabric possible
