What are Folding Arm Retractable Awnings?

Folding arm awnings, also known as residential retractable awnings for decks use a moveable contained joint, along with the awning fabric, mounted on a wall, eave/soffit, fascia, beam or roof that allows these awnings to be stowed or folded away and conveniently stored when not in use. Our commercial and residential retractable awning arms contain Italian springs that push the arms open with a German, Flexon brand, non-rusting stainless steel chain in the elbow of the awning, extending the fabric cover.  Most typically used over patios and decks, the retractable awning can be extended and retracted to provide shade, protection from damaging UV rays and light rain protection when necessary and allow sunlight to enter a home or building in the winter months. Residential and commercial retractable awnings can be either motorized or manual and if motorized can be controlled with a wall switch, remote control transmitter, smartphone, tablet, voice control, wind sensors, motion sensors and rain/sun sensors.

How do modern folding arm awnings work?

Using spring loaded arms, under high tension, our modern folding arm retractable awning arms contain Italian springs that push the arms open with a German, Flexon brand, non-rusting stainless steel chain in the elbow of the awning, extending the fabric cover.

Can I adjust my foldable awning? 

All of our modern retractable awning models allow the ability to adjust or stop the awning at any point when being extended or retracted. In addition, all our modern retractable awning models provide the ability for the customer to adjust the pitch or angle of the arms to allow for light rain runoff and/or better sun, UV, glare and heat protection from a sunrise or sunset.

How much do folding awnings cost? 

Our high quality, European TÜVProduct Approved, CE Certified, 80,000 cycle tested folding arm awnings range from $2,000 - $12,000 for a very large unit.

What types of weather can foldable awnings withstand?

The best lateral arm retractable awnings (all of our models) can withstand winds up to approximately 20 mph depending on the model and size. For wind beyond 20mph, it is recommended to use either a wind sensor or motion sensor to automatically close the lateral arm awning. Lateral arm awnings are designed for light rain runoff assuming enough pitch is placed on the arms. Lateral arm awnings are not designed for heavy rain regardless of how much pitch/angle is placed on the arms. For heavy rain, consider either a retractable patio and deck pergola cover or our Bioclimatique louver roof system.
