Motorised Folding Arm Awning	Folding Arm Awnings These awnings are ideally suited for patios and shops. Consisting of a gear or motorised roller, spring arms and extruded front profile they offer excellent sun protection. Widths can be from 2 to 24 metres and projections from 1.5 to 5 metres.
Dutch Blinds These are ideally suited for shops, offices and homes simply because so many shapes and styles are available. Manufactured using aluminium extrusion for the framework and covered with acrylic, PVC or “wet look” fabrics. Walkways for hotels, night clubs and restaurants can also be produced from Dutch Blind systems.

Retractable Terrace Awnings Terrace awnings have a retractable cover over a fixed framework. This enables larger projections to be obtained. The Arquati GC awning is electrically operated and utilises the TTS systems to ensure the fabric remains correctly tensioned. The GC system will cover an area as large as 24 x 6 metres.

Free-Standing Awnings Used in situations where wall fixing is not possible or planning regulations dictate otherwise.		Security Shutters For ultimate protection against unauthorised entry, they also reduce noise levels and save money by giving insulation value as effective as double glazing. There are a variety of means of operations including fully remote controlled.
		Automatic & Electrically Operated Virtually all of our external blinds can be electrically operated. Automation can be achieved with the addition of: Sun & Wind sensors, rain sensors, radio controls or programmable timing units.
