Visit our gallery or showroom to view our range of folding arm awnings or get in touch on (02) 4257 5822 to organise a free measure and quote.

Folding Arm Awnings:

Folding arm awnings are the traditional style of fabric window awning. They are ideal for reducing heat and glare from the sun while still allowing some natural light and airflow to filter through. This style of awning is available for both commercial and domestic applications and has the added options of being motorised or integrating with a Smart Home system such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa.

Folding Arm Awnings vs Automatic Awnings:

The biggest advantage that automatic awnings have over folding arm awnings is their spring-loaded system that automatically releases the awning as it has pressure applied to it. This is an important factor to consider in Illawarra, Wollongong and surrounding areas, where strong winds can whip up out of nowhere.

Folding arm awnings have a sensor system available as an optional extra which can combat this issue – the sensor will detect harsh winds and will automatically retract the awnings on your behalf.

The Process:

If you are interested in receiving an obligation-free quote for folding-arm awning installation then the first step is to book in a constulation with one of our sales representatives. We can provide you with a quote based on plans or your own measurements, but we will need to do a check-measure before we can place your final order. Use our online form to get a quick online quote.

Once we have placed your order it will take approximately 4 weeks for your new awnings to be manufactured and delivered. We will then contact you to organise a suitable installation date and time for your awnings.

All our folding arm awnings come with a two-year warranty on the installation componentry and five-year warranty on the fabrics.
