A folding-arm awning is a sun protection system that is attached to the building. It consists of a frame with extendable folding arms that stretch the awning cover. The awning can be extended or retracted as required to provide shade or block out direct sunlight.

A cassette awning is a type of folding-arm awning in which the fabric cover and folding arms are completely protected in a cassette when closed.

In the area of folding-arm awnings, a distinction can be made between full, semi-cassette awnings and open awnings. In the case of full and semi-cassette awnings, the technology and fabric cover are fully or partially protected by a cassette. Open folding-arm awnings do not have a cassette, leaving the folding arms and awning cover exposed.

Folding-arm awnings are typically mounted on the wall, under the ceiling or on rafters.

Cleaning and maintaining a folding-arm awning is important to extend its operating life. The awning fabrics have a self-cleaning effect, so that dirt particles are absorbed by raindrops and roll off. Nevertheless, you should regularly remove dust and dirt from the fabric, treat stains immediately and occasionally clean the awning with a mild detergent and water. Maintenance should be carried out by a professional to ensure that all components are working properly.
