What Is A Pivot Arm Awning?
A pivot arm awning is a versatile shade solution that is fixed to the wall with a specially designed spring-loaded mechanism. The awning moves down (pivots) from a vertical position to a horizontal position and consists of fabric that stretches out and connects to a front bar to create shade for the area beneath. A pivot arm awning is suitable for homes as well as commercial buildings.
Benefits Of A Pivot Arm Awning
Pivot arm awnings are an ideal shade solution for both commercial and residential buildings and offer a number of benefits, including:
- Pivot arm awnings are ideal for a range of spaces, including sliding doors, windows, balconies or deck areas.
- The pivot arm allows you to position the awning at a precise angle for the perfect amount of shade.
- The area beneath the shade allows light and air to flow freely for maximum and comfort.
- Pivot arm awnings can be motorised for even easier, more convenient use with the simple press of a button.
- Pivot arm awnings are highly customisable and can be designed to match your building’s colour, design and aesthetics perfectly.
