Horizontal awnings are an ideal option for small summer areas in the form of small sidewalk cafes.

They may also be:

• open type. This is the simplest and most accessible design; it consists of a shaft on which a fabric canopy is wound. The shaft, in order to protect its working mechanism from exposure to open water and excess moisture, is installed under a small hanging canopy or niche;
• closed awning . Its working mechanism, together with the drum, is located in a weatherproof case. Thanks to this design, it can be mounted on the wall of a house directly in the open air, without fear that it will get wet and fail.

Why are our awnings so good?

• these are high-quality massive aluminum profiles (made with the expectation of RF wind loads)
• special durable fabric (a large assortment of colors, which you can view in our office or from a technologist. The most important thing is to pay attention to the QUALITY of the fabric: strength, water resistance!!!)
• reliable automatic system control system.

You can view samples in our office and personally try out the ease of control: both manual and automatic.

Shape of the canopy over the window

In appearance, the visors differ from each other in shape. The most popular now:

• Canopy with a pitched roof. The cheapest and easiest option. They also come with a valance;
• Gable roofs. They have a more complex design, they can withstand increased loads, withstand side gusts of wind, and are easy to clear from snow;
• Modular or arched canopies. A canopy of this shape fits perfectly into the design of any house facade and provides excellent protection from rain and wind.
• Dome canopy. Such canopies look great, but due to the large number of curved load-bearing elements, they are difficult to manufacture.

Different canopies have their own aesthetic and functional meaning.

Price

In order for you to calculate the cost of the product, you need to know the following data:

1. Dimensions
2. Model
3. Opening method (manual or automatic)
4. Installation location (wall or ceiling)
5. Color of the canvas (does not affect the price))

Our company has awnings in stock (entirely made in Germany!!!), if the required awning or the required color is not available, delivery of your model will take 7 - 15 working days.

Beware of buying cheap awnings (most often made in China). They are completely unadapted to our wind loads. They have a very weak design made of thinner metal (due to which the price is lower) and, as a result, they break very quickly.

The main advantages of modular canopies

Modular visors have undeniable advantages:

• The design is lightweight, compact in size, and can be installed quickly and easily. It has removable sections, which allows you to assemble such canopies from a variety of materials;
• The canopy is durable, as it has a three-layer structure, it can withstand changes in temperature, the adverse effects of precipitation and perfectly protects the window opening;
• Canopies of this type can be installed both in private houses and over the windows of apartment buildings;
• Installing such a canopy in an apartment building does not require special permission.

RETRACTABLE awnings - the most popular

Retractable awnings: The most popular awnings for country houses. Awnings are elegant retractable structures in the form of lightweight canopies for protection from the sun and rain, placed above the windows or entrance. The design depends on the type of product, but is usually a mechanism consisting of a shaft, fabric that is wound around the shaft, folding arms or guides. When folded, the awning, which is attached to the wall or ceiling, is almost invisible. By completely covering the windows from sunlight, awnings do not prevent air from entering the room. They are very easy to operate. Built-in smart sensors will monitor their safe operation depending on the weather and time of day. Also, the intelligent system can be configured so that the awning unfolds independently in the morning, and in the evening or in bad weather it folds up against the wall of the house

Covering the canopy over the window - roofing material

The durability of the canopy over the window is mainly affected by the material used for the ceiling. Often the roof of a shed is covered with the same material as the roof of a house. This option makes the building unified and the canopy does not protrude from the overall design of the house.

1. The glass coating looks respectable, having three layers, the middle of which is triplex. Often in such cases frosted types of glass are used. The only significant drawback is its high cost.
2. The most common and cheapest option is polycarbonate. This design allows enough light to pass through while blocking most of the ultraviolet rays that are harmful to humans.
3. Polycarbonate can be monolithic, neutral to aggressive actions, or cellular, consisting of cells, durable and with high thermal insulation.
4. Previously, wooden canopies were often used to cover canopies, which were treated with drying oil, varnish or paint.
5. A more reliable covering for windows is metal cladding. For this, galvanized sheets or corrugated sheets are often used, and metal tiles are used for the roof, which are pleasant in appearance and light in weight.

Important! If your choice is metal tiles, then you need to lay them correctly, strictly according to the instructions, otherwise the sheets of this material may make noise and allow moisture to pass through during the wind. And in loosely laid places, the profile may succumb to corrosion.

Awnings LINE (balcony)

Balcony awnings: model of awnings on straight guides. Used for decorating balconies, entrance lobbies, verandas, etc. Very beautiful design. Behind the external simplicity of the design lies the strength and style of aluminum guides. The fabric is also wound into a roll. A secret: the majority of clients who have visited our office and seen it with their own eyes choose this model. For cafes, restaurants: applying any image to both the awning and the shuttlecock. Designers believe that the LINE Marquise is ideal to use as an ensemble on a large country house. All, in one color, are installed on windows and balconies of the house to create a cozy atmosphere of sun protection in sunny weather.

Choosing roofing material for a window canopy

Window awnings are covered with different types of roofing.
The widest range available on the market makes it possible not only to ensure that the canopy fully matches the exterior style of the building, but is also affordable, since the roofing material is the most expensive of the entire structure. Polycarbonate can be considered the most inexpensive, but at the same time reliable and lightweight option. The big advantages of this material are that it can be given any shape, it is easy to cut, it comes in different thicknesses and colors.

Polycarbonate allows sunlight to pass through well, but dims it a little. Therefore, in order not to darken the room, it is best to install such canopies over windows facing south.

Profiled metal sheets can also be called an affordable budget roofing material. But profiled sheets have disadvantages; in particular, noise will be created during rain. In addition, such canopies weigh much more than polycarbonate ones.

It is also worth considering that a metal canopy will not let sunlight into the room. If this is a problem for you, use transparent materials, such as polycarbonate or triplex.

So, we looked at the functions and advantages of a canopy over a window, its design features, and the options for roofing materials with which such canopies are sheathed.
The choice is yours. One thing can be said for sure: such a design is a functional, practical, useful and attractive element of modern architecture. It will reliably protect the window from adverse weather conditions, extend the service life of the glass unit, and help create a more comfortable microclimate in the room. Such awnings can be installed both in private homes and in multi-storey buildings, so no matter where you live, you always have the opportunity to protect your window and make it more attractive and stylish.

FACADE awnings (Marquisolette)

Facade awnings are functional and elegant means of sun protection for vertical facades and vertical glazed surfaces. Facade sun protection systems are mounted directly on the facade of the building and give it a stylish and respectable look. The big advantage of façade sun protection systems is their varied scope of application: from light walls of a summer gazebo to more complex options, for example, the original vertically inclined ones, which, while covering the window completely from the sun's rays, do not prevent the penetration of fresh air. Large glass surfaces - from a window in your home to a store window - are the areas of application for façade sun protection systems. A luxury option for the design of your home with such awnings. A very stylish option. See also vertical awnings. Favorite model of designers.

What types of awnings are there over windows?

The shape of the canopy largely depends on the architectural structure of the house; often, for symmetry, it is appropriate to make the slope of the roof of the canopy the same as that of the building, especially if such a canopy is mounted at the entrance to the house. There are many awnings for covering windows, but it is worth highlighting:

1. Modular. Such canopies are universal and fit into any design;
2. Dome. They perfectly protect from precipitation, but are difficult to manufacture;
3. Single and double slope. These canopies are easy to make and can be made by yourself.
4. Marquises. Structures that are designed to be quickly installed if necessary and also quickly removed.
5. Concave awnings. They look very elegant and respectable, especially if the sides of the canopy are decorated with forged metal patterns.

Whatever window awning you choose, it must, in addition to its elegant appearance, serve its intended purpose and at the same time be a safe device under various loads.
