Do they offer all weather protection?
Your awning is primarily for sun protection, but it will also offer a degree of all weather protection dependent on model and fabric choice. Wind All Roché electronic awnings are fitted with wind sensors as standard, so that the awning will retract if wind speed reaches a level that threatens the integrity of the product. Rain Standard awning fabrics are shower proof, but not waterproof. Providing the awning is fitted at an angle of 15’ or more, rainwater will run off the front profile and offer excellent protection from showers. Nevertheless, standard folding arm awnings should be retracted in heavy rain. If total waterproofing is required, options should be discussed with your site surveyor or the Roché office. Pvc fabrics and specific products designed for all weather protection are available on request. Snow Awnings have little or no snow loading capability and should be retracted when snow is forecast or falling.
