At Tecnopvc, we have all the types of awnings for balconies and terraces you can think of from Sotogrande to Marbella. Contact us!

Awnings have several functions in addition to their decorative role: they protect walls and windows from direct exposure to the sun and other elements, they help to reduce heat inside the home and provide shade and coolness in outdoor spaces.

If you want to install an awning in your home, you can find the model that best suits your balcony or terrace here.

Types of Balcony and Terrace Awnings available

There are different types of awnings which can be installed on terraces and balconies, of different models and designs, all of which are removable, and can be folded and unfolded manually or with a motor. Here are some of the most popular awnings in our company:

Extendable awnings 

These are the classic awnings that can be folded and unfolded from a wall or window. They are also called articulated awnings, due to the mechanism of the structure, which allows them to be extended.

They are easy to extend and retract during strong winds, and you will certainly find models and colours to suit your facade or balcony.

Automatic awnings

The awnings that are retracted and extended using a engine, which can be operated from a control panel or using a remote control.

Also, there are automatic awnings with sensors, to activate the awning according to solar radiation or wind strength.

As manual extendable awnings, you can get automatic awnings in different colours and designs.

Box awnings

These are awning models that have a built-in mechanism that protects them from the sun, wind, pollution and humidity when they are folded. In this way, the fabric and other materials are kept in a better condition for a longer period of time.

They are ideal for balconies and terraces, and have aluminium profiles at their base, which act as a “cassette”. Once the awning is extended, the fabric remains firm and taut, and provides good wind resistance

Several designs of cassette awnings can be found: vertical, extendable or straight point; and they can last for about 20 years, which is twice as long as a conventional awning.

Roller blind awnings

They are also called vertical awnings or curtain awnings, and are perfect for places with railings, and they have a folding arm to regulate the position of the blind.

Is a good option when space is limited, as they act like blinds and provide protection from the sun and wind, as well as discretion and privacy.

Sliding or gliding awning

These awnings are placed under pergolas, on terraces and enclosed patios, to provide protection from the sun. They are designs that can be deployed manually or automatically, and are easy to install and dismantle for maintenance.

Sliding awnings can be of various types: traditional folding, horizontally retractable, and folding with awnings with aluminium rods.
