Advantages of installing a straight awning on windows. Installing an awning is always a great advantage for your windows, terraces, and balconies. However, installing a straight-point awning is always a joy and a great discovery, if you weren’t familiar with it. The straight-point awning is one of the most traditional and is also ideal for balconies and windows. Its system consists of two arms that are screwed straight from the wall to the awning. Their arms are not flexible, but they do have different angles of inclination.
What is a straight-point awning technically?
As its name suggests, the main characteristic of straight-point awnings is that they are attached to the wall via a straight arm that can be angled at different angles, as we’ve already mentioned. The result is an awning that’s easy to install, very practical, and has a simple appearance. This makes it the easiest awning to find in city windows.
What makes straight-point awnings different from others?
1. Semi-tensioned or fully tensioned arms. To increase the awning’s stability in the wind.
2. A full hood or semi-cassette covers the awning while it’s retracted. To preserve the durability of the fabric.
3. Manual or motorized installation, depending on the buyer’s convenience.
Features of straight-point awnings
– The system offers complete independence of the roll-up tube supports from the arm supports.
– Reach projections of up to 2 m with folding straight-point arms.
