Folding Arm Awnings Townsville – Frequently Asked Questions
What are folding arm awnings?
Folding arm awnings are retractable outdoor awnings designed to provide adjustable shade over patios, alfresco areas, balconies, pool areas and outdoor entertaining spaces. They use folding arms to support the awning fabric, so they generally do not require posts or additional supports.
Crawley Blinds and Awnings supplies folding arm awnings in Townsville with a range of operating options and styles to suit different outdoor areas.
Are folding arm awnings suitable for Townsville?
Yes. Folding arm awnings can be an excellent shading solution for Townsville homes and businesses, particularly for outdoor entertaining areas, patios and pool areas.
They allow you to extend your outdoor living space while providing adjustable protection from the Queensland sun. Optional features such as motorisation and sun and wind sensors are available on selected models.
How far can a folding arm awning project?
Depending on the model selected, folding arm awnings from Crawley Blinds and Awnings can project up to 3 Meters.
The available projection will depend on the particular awning model and installation requirements. We can help determine the appropriate size and configuration for your outdoor area.
Do folding arm awnings need posts?
No. One of the major advantages of folding arm awnings is that they are self-supporting retractable awnings. The folding arms support the awning when extended, meaning posts are generally not required.
This makes them particularly useful where you want to create shade without obstructing an outdoor area with additional posts or supports.
Are folding arm awnings available with motorised operation?
Yes. Motorised folding arm awnings are available on selected models, providing convenient operation at the touch of a button.
Motorisation is a popular option for larger awnings or areas where easy, effortless operation is important.
Can folding arm awnings have sun and wind sensors?
Yes. Sun and wind sensors are available as an option on selected motorised folding arm awning systems.
These sensors can help automate the operation of the awning in response to changing conditions. Your Crawley Blinds and Awnings consultant can explain which sensor options are compatible with the awning system you choose.
Can the angle of a folding arm awning be adjusted?
Selected folding arm awning models offer pitch control, allowing the angle of the awning arms to be adjusted.
Adjusting the pitch can help control the amount of shade provided and accommodate the requirements of different outdoor areas.
What types of folding arm awnings are available?
Folding arm awnings are available in several configurations, including:
- Open-roller roller awnings
- Open-top roller with hood awnings
- Full-cassette awnings
The best option will depend on the appearance you prefer, the location of the awning and the level of protection required for the awning fabric and mechanism.
What is the difference between an open-roller, Open-top with hood and full-cassette awning?
The main difference is how much of the awning roller and fabric is enclosed when the awning is retracted.
An open-roller awning leaves the roller and fabric more exposed. A open-roller with hood awning incorporates a metal hood to protect the fabric at the top of the roller and fabric, while a full-cassette awning encloses the awning more completely when retracted.
Each style has different aesthetic and practical benefits, and Crawley Blinds and Awnings can help you choose the most suitable option for your Townsville property.
Where can folding arm awnings be used?
Folding arm awnings can be used in many outdoor areas, including:
- Patios
- Alfresco areas
- Outdoor entertaining areas
- Pool areas
- Balconies
- Decks
- Residential outdoor areas
- Commercial outdoor spaces
Their retractable design allows you to enjoy shade when required while keeping the awning retracted when you want an open outdoor area.
Are folding arm awnings good for outdoor entertaining areas?
Yes. Folding arm awnings are a popular choice for outdoor entertaining areas in Townsville because they can provide adjustable shade without requiring support posts.
They can help make patios and alfresco areas more comfortable during sunny conditions while allowing the awning to be retracted when shade is not required.
Are folding arm awnings available for pool areas?
Yes. Folding arm awnings can be used to provide shade around suitable poolside entertaining areas and outdoor spaces.
The appropriate awning size, projection and installation position will depend on the layout of the area and the structure available for mounting.
How do I choose the right folding arm awning for my Townsville property?
The right folding arm awning will depend on several factors, including the size of the area, required projection, mounting location, preferred appearance and how you want to operate the awning.
Crawley Blinds and Awnings can help you compare options such as manual or motorised operation, open-roller, open-roller with hood and full-cassette designs, as well as available features such as sun and wind sensors and pitch control.
