Folding arm awnings, also known as articulated arm awnings or telescopic arm awnings, are a type of retractable awning that extends and retracts using folding arms attached to the awning frame. They are a popular choice for businesses and homes that want a versatile, stylish, and easy-to-use awning solution.
Folding arm awnings offer several advantages, including:
Flexible shade control: Folding arm awnings can be extended to various lengths, providing ample shade for patios, decks, and other outdoor spaces. They can also be retracted fully when not in use.
Wide coverage area: Folding arm awnings can extend a considerable distance from the building, providing ample shade for patios, decks, and other outdoor spaces.
Easy operation: Folding arm awnings typically operate using manual cranks or motorized mechanisms, making them convenient to extend and retract.
Enhanced curb appeal: Folding arm awnings add a touch of elegance and sophistication to a building’s exterior, improving its overall aesthetics.
Reduced energy costs: By providing shade and reducing heat gain, folding arm awnings can help lower cooling expenses during summer months.
Folding arm awnings have a few drawbacks to consider:
Cost: Folding arm awnings are typically more expensive than some other types of retractable awnings due to their more complex design and mechanisms.
Maintenance requirements: Regular cleaning and maintenance are necessary to keep folding arm awnings in good condition and extend their lifespan. This includes inspecting the arms, hinges, and fabric for signs of wear and tear.
Limited shade control in windy conditions: Folding arm awnings may retract partially or fully in strong winds to prevent damage. This can limit shade control in windy areas.
When selecting folding arm awnings, consider these factors to ensure they meet your specific needs and preferences:
Size and Coverage: Determine the area you want to cover and choose an awning with an appropriate extension length. Consider the height and width of the opening, as well as any obstructions or irregular shapes.
Material and Style: Choose materials that suit your style and climate. Aluminum frames are durable and lightweight, while vinyl or acrylic fabrics offer weather resistance and fade-resistance. Consider the desired style, such as traditional, modern, or curved.
Operation: Decide whether you prefer manual crank operation or a motorized mechanism for easier retraction and extension.
Maintenance Requirements: Consider the level of maintenance you are comfortable with. Folding arm awnings require regular cleaning, occasional inspections, and lubrication of moving parts.
Budget: Set a realistic budget and compare options from different vendors to find the best value for your investment.
Professional Installation: Engage a qualified professional for installation to ensure proper mounting, safety, and adherence to local building codes.
