Drop Arm Awnings

An awning is an awning, right? Wait, what’s a drop arm awning? If you are looking into awnings for the first time, it can be surprising to know that they come in all kinds of forms. A drop arm awning is just what it sounds like. This type of awning features arms that drop down, and as they do, they bring the rest of the awning canopy with them. They do this until they reach a 90-degree angle from the wall and stop.

So what is special about these kinds of awnings? Well, they are designed to fit directly over windows and provide shade inside the building. This makes them different from ones that provide shade to a larger space, like a patio. We’re here to talk you through everything drop awnings have to offer, so you can make the right choice for your property.

Anything that improves the look of the outside of your home is going to boost its curb appeal. This, in turn, can boost its value. How much an awning adds to the value of your home can vary, but it’s a small update that can make a huge difference! It can help to set your home apart from others in the same area and price range, giving you an edge in a property market that has never been as competitive as it is right now.

One of the main reasons awnings boost the value of your home is how they can make it more energy efficient. Drop arm awnings block light from entering a room, and this can make such a difference in the summer. Less sunlight means less heat, and that means less reliance on things like air con. So they can cut energy bills, which is something that any buyer will like the sound of.

A drop arm awning for your window is a big investment. In terms of what you can expect to pay, that will depend on quite a few things. The size of the awning is obviously the biggest deciding factor, with larger ones or ones that span multiple windows costing more than smaller models. Things like the fabric you choose can play a part, too.

Drop arm awnings are exceptionally useful on a sunny day or when you want to shield your window from adverse weather conditions, and are surprisingly unintrusive on those days when you want to let the sunshine in. Fixed by a bracket above your door or window, with arms fixed to the wall at either side of the window or door to hold the awning in position, the concept is incredibly simple and allows for easy adjustment depending on the weather and your individual needs.

Once installed, awnings can be removed from the bracket during the winter months, ensuring that you can maximise their lifespan and keep them inside during the coldest and most adverse weather spells.
