Drop Arm Awnings

Drop Arm Awnings

Maximum shade without sacrificing your home's natural airflow.

Shade That Breathes

Drop Arm Awnings are an ingenious, classic design that projects the shade fabric outwards from your window rather than dropping straight down.

This projection is essential for rooms that rely on natural ventilation. By leaving an open gap between the awning and the wall, you can leave your windows wide open to catch the coastal breeze, all while keeping the harsh, direct sunlight out.

The spring-tensioned arms allow for infinite angle adjustments. Drop the awning low during the peak afternoon sun, or raise it slightly to maintain your garden views. Drop arms are one of several window styles in our range of awnings on the Sunshine Coast.
