What is a drop-arm awning carre?
A fall-arm awning carre is a fall-arm awning with a sleek, straight cassette. This makes it well-suited for modern facades, straight window frames, and windows where you want a calm finish. The fabric extends diagonally outwards and keeps sun and heat away from the glass. STERK helps you choose which size, fabric color, and operation best suits your home.
Standard 5-year warranty on a retractable awning carre
If you have a square drop arm awning supplied and installed by STERK, you will receive a standard 5-year warranty on the product and installation. We first take measurements at your home, discuss fabric, colour, and operation, and ensure that the straight cassette fits seamlessly with your facade. This way, you know exactly what to expect in advance.
Frequently asked questions about a square drop arm awning
What is a drop-arm awning square?
A square drop arm awning is a drop arm awning with a straight, angular casing. This gives the awning a sleek and calm appearance on the facade. It is a good choice for modern homes or for windows where you want a neat, minimalist finish without the sun protection drawing too much attention.
When do you choose square instead of round?
Carre fits well with straight lines, modern window frames, and sleek facades. Rondo, on the other hand, has a rounder casing and appears slightly softer. If you are in doubt between the two designs, also compare the Rondo drop arm awning or let STERK come to your home to help you decide which shape fits best.
Is a drop arm awning suitable for narrow windows?
Yes, a square cassette can actually look beautiful on narrower windows, because the straight cassette sits unobtrusively above the window. The exact size depends on the width of the frame, the mounting points, and the desired shade. We measure this precisely so that the screen remains well-proportioned.
Can a square awning be electric?
Often, yes. Electric operation is convenient when the window is high up, you use the screen frequently, or want to operate multiple screens simultaneously. We will assess where the power supply can be located and which control method suits your situation: remote control, switch, or a simple fixed control.
How much does a retractable awning carre cost?
The price is determined by customisation, fabric, operation, and installation. A small manual version is different from an electric screen for a wide window. If you first want to explore further, view our general information about drop-arm awnings.
Does a square cabinet match my facade color?
Usually, yes, because the cassette and fabric can be chosen in different colours. A calm colour is less noticeable, while contrast can add character. During our in-home consultation, we bring samples and together we look at your window frames, brickwork, paintwork, and existing sun protection.
Which parts wear on a carre drop arm awning?
The fabric, arms, controls, and attachment points bear the brunt of sun, wind, and daily use. If your screen is still good but a part is no longer functioning optimally, replacement can sometimes be sufficient. Read more about drop arm awning parts.
How does STERK install a carre awning?
Our own technicians install the screen on sturdy mounting points and immediately check its operation. We work meticulously, explain the controls, and leave no ambiguities. This way, after installation, you'll know exactly how to use the awning and when it's better to retract it.
