Materials and Construction

Crank Straight Drop Awnings are crafted using premium materials, ensuring durability, strength, and excellent weather resistance. The frame is made from powder-coated aluminium, which is corrosion-resistant and lightweight, making it ideal for coastal and inland locations. 

Stainless steel fixings and components strengthen the awning, ensuring a secure and stable installation. For the fabric, you can choose between high-quality mesh or PVC materials. 

Mesh fabrics, such as Visiontex® or Outlook Mode, offer excellent UV protection, airflow, and light filtration while maintaining privacy. Alternatively, clear or tinted PVC provides complete weatherproofing, blocking rain and wind while allowing natural light.

The awnings have a manual crank handle system, offering smooth and effortless height adjustments. With reinforced bottom bars and secure fixing options, these awnings remain steady in windy conditions, making them a reliable outdoor shading solution.

Customisation Options

Crank Straight Drop Awnings can be tailored to your needs, ensuring seamless integration with your home or business. Available in various fabrics, colours, and fixing options, these awnings perfectly combine style and functionality.

You can choose between high-quality mesh and PVC materials for fabric selection. Mesh fabrics allow airflow, UV protection, and partial visibility, making them ideal for maintaining privacy while letting in natural light.

On the other hand, clear or tinted PVC offers complete weatherproofing, shielding your outdoor space from rain and wind while preserving visibility. The aluminium frame and bottom bar can be powder-coated in various colours, allowing you to match your awning to your existing décor. The crank handle length can also be customised based on installation height, ensuring easy operation.

Crank Straight Drop Awnings offers multiple bottom fixing options, including strap-down systems, stainless steel clips, and channel guides for enhanced security and stability. These customisation features allow you to create an awning that suits your outdoor space, aesthetic preferences, and functional needs.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing Crank Straight Drop Awnings is straightforward. They are designed to fit any outdoor space perfectly. Whether mounted to a wall, ceiling or under an eave, these awnings are custom-made to ensure a seamless and secure installation. 

The manual crank operation allows for effortless height adjustments, while the reinforced bottom fixings keep the awning stable even in windy conditions. For added security, you can choose between strap-down systems, stainless steel clips, or channel guides. Professional installation is recommended to guarantee optimal functionality and durability.

Maintaining Crank Straight Drop Awnings is simple and hassle-free. To keep them in excellent condition, regularly wipe the fabric and frame with a mild soap solution to remove dust and debris. If using PVC fabric, a specialised PVC cleaner helps maintain clarity and prevents clouding over time. 

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve the awning’s integrity and appearance. Periodically checking the crank mechanism and bottom fixings ensures smooth operation and long-lasting performance. 

With minimal upkeep, Crank Straight Drop Awnings have provided reliable weather protection and stylish outdoor shading for years.
