Drop-Arm Window Awning

Vertical shade that pivots out from any wall.

The Drop-Arm Window Awning is a manual, up-and-down shade that pivots outward from the wall on spring-loaded arms, projecting fabric over windows and shopfronts to block low, vertical sun while preserving the view and airflow. Built in our Hebei factory and shipped factory-direct, it is fully OEM/ODM-ready for importers, distributors and contract buyers. Explore the full range in our Retractable Awnings category.

Why it works

Unlike top-mounted retractables, the drop-arm design tilts the fabric down across the glass, intercepting the low-angle morning and afternoon sun that side-mounted shades miss. This cuts solar heat gain and glare at the source, lowering interior cooling loads while keeping the window operable.

Operation is simple and reliable: a hand crank or pull-cord adjusts projection and pitch in seconds, and tensioned arms hold the fabric taut against light wind without sagging. The result is a low-maintenance, mechanically robust unit that suits both residential and high-traffic commercial installs.

Build & materials

Frames are extruded from 6063-T5 aluminium with a polyester powder-coat finish for corrosion resistance and long outdoor service. Standard fabric is solution-dyed acrylic (~280-300 gsm) for fade-resistant, breathable shade, with PVC-coated polyester and breathable HDPE mesh available on request.

Every batch is produced to ISO 9001 process controls; fabrics and finishes are independently SGS-tested and the product line is CE and TÜV compliant, giving distributors the documentation needed for resale in regulated markets.
