Vertical shade and privacy for balconies and windows
A drop awning has a fabric that comes down vertically along the façade, with or without arms at the bottom. It shields you from the low morning and evening sun and from the neighbours’ eyes and, with side guides, from the wind too. It is ideal for narrow balconies, windows, verandas and porches.
Models
- Free-hanging or with side cables: simple and economical.
- With side channels: the fabric stays still and resists the wind much better.
- With drop arms: the lower part projects forward to let air through and keep the view.
- Zip: the fabric is held by a zip in the channels, for maximum wind resistance.
Fabrics
Acrylics for full shade, or micro-perforated screen fabrics that let you see out even when closed. Operated by crank or motor.
