Frequently Asked Questions on our Folding Arm Awnings
We custom build and fit our outdoor blinds directly from our base of operations in Melbourne. Here are some answers to common questions from customers on our custom outdoor builds and installations of folding arm awnings Melbourne wide!.
How much does a Folding Arm Awning cost?
How much does it cost to motorise a Folding Arm Awning?
From as little as $650 you can operate your awning with an entry-level motor, better quality European motors are approximately $1,000 depending on the size. Popular add-ons such as motion and wind sensors, hand held or wall mount remote controls. You can also add the blind to your existing home automation setup!
How far can a Folding Arm Awning extend?
The smallest projection that is possible is 1,600mm at a 1,500mm width. Our Folding Arm Awning can extend as far as 5,100mm. The standard maximum projection that is achievable before hitting any engineering restriction on a residential structure is 4,000mm.
How long do Retractable Awnings last?
We will not sell Folding Arm Awnings that have to be replaced next year! We sell quality built European-designed awnings projected to last 30+ years. Life expectations for fabric is between 10 – 15 years until a replacement is required.
Can I leave my awning out in the rain?
Rule of thumb, yes your awning is able to handle a light drizzle of rain, but water should not pool on the fabric. The awnings are a shade solution, not a weatherproofing solution. Check out our Retractable Roof System page for waterproof shade solutions.
What's the difference between Full Cassette, Semi Cassette and Open Style Awnings?
Full Cassette Awnings
Folding arms components that make them move. Alloy castings and arm brackets connected to arms project out to offer the shaded space underneath.
These mechanics are visible when extended but when the awning is retracted you can see those mechanics. A full Cassette awning hides the mechanics for a more aesthetically pleasing and slimline finished result.
Semi Cassette Awnings
Semi Cassettes are just that, semi encapsulated. Generally, Semi Cassette awnings have an extruded aluminium hood or pelmet and a broadly shaped front rail. Sometimes these front rails can wrap themselves significantly under the mechanical components of the awning and offer almost a Full Cassette look. Semi Cassettes are visually appealing and are a very modern looking awning still applicable for design-sensitive areas.
Open Style Awnings
Open Style Folding Arm Awnings are a more traditional awning look. On older homes, the Open Style can be quite beneficial. They have an exposed fabric valance that can be cut straight or can come in a scalloped pattern to help them stand out. Open Style awning can also suit the ultra-modern home with modern colours and sleek trims.
