Straight Drop Verandah Awnings
The Armidale Straight Drop Verandah Awning is a cost efficient exterior vertical blind sun protection system with a classic look. This awning is easily and discretely mounted, inside a reveal or face fitted, to an existing window, verandah or commercial building. An important contributor to Straight Drop Verandah Awnings energy efficient design is the narrow gap between reveal wall or verandah post and fabric, which reduces the transfer of heat. Multiple awnings may be butted up side by side with minimal gaps.
Straight drop verandah awning is manually operated by using the rope controls to roll up from the bottom. In the lowered position we can offer a further option of quick release straps to keep the fabric taut, while the awning is in the fully down position.
