Fold Arm Awnings installed in Norfolk

In this case study, we were able to film the installation of Fold Arm Awnings onto a wonderful home in South Norfolk.

We are very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. B for allowing us to film the installation, and meet their very friendly dogs, one of whom “supervised” our installation.

Every installation of our Fold Arm Awnings begins with a survey.

Your Fold Arm Awnings will be made from weatherproof, rot proof and fade resistant, high quality fabrics.

They are enclosed in a powder coated aluminium cassette, that protects them from the elements.

The weight of the fabric and the cassette to store the awnings is substantial, so we will undertake a very careful survey of the walls to which your awnings will be installed.

Once our Technical Manager, Matt, has carefully checked over the specs and survey, we’ll order the awnings in the colours and designs that you have chosen.

The installation of Awnings.

During installation, our bespoke team will carefully re-measure the walls in readiness to drill the attachment points for the brackets to hold the cassette and awning.

Not everyone will use a dust pump, but it’s this attention to detail that ensures that the resin sleeve and resin, will bond with your brickwork safely and securely.

Industrial rawl plugs are cheaper. With our resin sleeve,  we know that the bolt holding your awnings will be securely, safely and permanently installed to your wall. 

We have seen examples where rawl plugs have split the brickwork, inside the brick, leading to serious problems. Our system is far superior and safer.

Having carefully measured, drilled, inserted the bolts, resin sleeve and resin attaching the cassette bracket, we install the awning and cassette onto your walls.

Once the Fold Arm Awning is installed, we then adjust the tension to ensure that the awning clears any doors.
