The Italia Slim is a compact drop-arm awning designed specifically for windows, balconies, French doors and shopfronts. Unlike a conventional folding-arm awning, the arms pivot downwards, providing excellent shade while taking up very little space in front of the building.
Its slim, fully enclosed cassette protects the fabric and mechanism when the awning is retracted, giving a clean and unobtrusive appearance. The spring-loaded arms maintain fabric tension and allow the angle of the awning to be adjusted, making it particularly useful where you want to reduce glare and heat while retaining airflow and outward visibility.
Rather than projecting horizontally over a patio, the arms pivot downwards from the sides of the window. This makes the Italia Slim ideal where space is limited or where you want shade directly in front of the glazing.
