Folding Arm Retractable Awnings
Sydney North Shore, Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, CBD and Inner West
The folding arm retractable awning is a compact solution to add shade and weather protection to most outdoor living spaces. Having a retractable cover, the folding arm awning is ideal for patios, decks and balconies where a permanent structure is not desired. They are often useful in commercial applications particularly restaurants and cafes that feature outdoor dining areas.
Folding arm retractable awnings are cantilevered from a building structure, eradicating the need for posts that could potentially restrict the area. Unlike most awnings, the arms fold in hortizontally allowing them to be completely retracted.
This type of awnings can be manually operated using a crank handle and gearbox or can be motorised for ease of use. Motorised awnings are available with timers or sun & wind sensors to operate independently and ensure against extreme weather conditions. They can also be linked to any building management system if required.
Our Folding Arm Retractable Awning Range
Stratos 1 (Standard Folding Arm Awning)
The Standard Folding Arm Retractable Awning is made from high quality aluminium components and stainless steel fittings which can be powder coated in a choice of colours to meet your style requirements. The awning is made to measure and ranges from as little as 2mtrs wide with a 1.5mtr projection to a very large 21mtr wide with a 4mtr projection. This model is also available with an aluminium powder coated pelmet (hood) if required to protect the fabric from the weather when retracted.

Selectapitch Option
Another optional feature of the Stratos 1 & 3 is the angle adjusting system ‘Selectapitch’. With this feature you can change the angle of the awning to block the morning or afternoon sun, or even use it as a rain shelter in calm conditions.
Any angle from horizontal to vertical can be easily and quickly set with the crank handle adjusting both arms simultaneously. This allows easy cleaning of the fabric when the awning is in the vertical position.
Stratos 3 (Semi Cassette Folding Arm Awning)
The Semi Cassette Folding Arm Awning is a slimline design, and maintains the same features as the Standard Awning while incorporating a larger front bar to give it a more contemporary look. When retracted, both the front and top of the awning become fully enclosed which gives further protection to the fabric when the unit is not in use.
The awning is made to measure and ranges from as little as 2 metres wide with a 1.5 metre projection to a very large 21 metres wide with a 4 metres projection. The Semi Cassette can be powder coated to a choice of colours to suit any application.

Discus (Full Cassette Folding Arm Awning)
The Full Cassette Folding Arm Awning is manufactured from extruded aluminium for the ultimate in reliability and durability. The slimline cassette measures a discreet 124mm high and 234mm deep and completely encloses the fabric when the awning is retracted. This provides optimal protection for the fabric and working mechanism against dirt, rain and humidity. Its compact design makes it ideal for top fix, wall fix or recessed mounting installations.
Single units of up to 7 metres in length by 3.5 metres in projection are available and coupled units can extend up to 14 metres as a single awning. The cassette and arms of the awning are custom powder coated to match any colour.
