Wire Guide Awnings

Wire Guide Awnings use tensioned stainless-steel or aluminium wires (guide cables) on either side of the fabric to hold it in place, allowing the awning fabric to move up and down smoothly. This design provides a slim, unobtrusive finish and is ideal for outdoor areas where side channels aren’t practical.

They are particularly suited for patios, balconies, or large window façades where you want sun/shade control but still want an unobstructed view. Because the wires are slim, the system appears more open than full channel-guided solutions.

Operation is typically manual via a crank handle and gearbox, although motorised options are available for selected widths and configurations. The manual model uses a crank handle (various lengths) and wires that guide the bottom rail.

Yes — the system’s cable guides help keep the fabric tensioned and stable in light-to-moderate wind conditions. The product can achieve widths up to 5,500 mm and uses aluminium base bar and stainless steel tension wire guides.
