What is an awning with a valance?
A rounded drop arm awning has a round cassette, giving it a soft, classic look on the facade. It works practically the same as other drop arm awnings: the fabric extends diagonally outwards, blocking sunlight from the window. This makes a rounded drop arm awning suitable for windows, balconies, and facades where you want comfort without a heavy aesthetic.

Frequently asked questions about a round drop arm awning
What is a drop arm awning with a round cassette?
A drop-arm awning rondo is a drop-arm awning with a round casing. This rounded shape gives the awning a softer look on the facade. The awning works on the same principle as other drop-arm awnings: the fabric extends diagonally outwards and blocks sunlight at the window.
When is a rondo setup better than a square?
Rondo often fits beautifully with classic facades, rounded shapes, or homes where a harsh, straight cassette would be less suitable. If you prefer a sleeker look, compare it with a square awning. During a home visit, you'll immediately see which cassette shape looks more natural.
Is a round drop arm awning suitable for older homes?
Yes, particularly with older homes, a rondo-box can be appealing because its shape looks less modern and less angular. The appearance remains friendly, while still benefiting from external sun protection that blocks heat before it reaches the glass. We coordinate the colour, fabric, and size to match the home.
Can a round drop arm awning be custom-made?
Yes, a rondo awning is tailored to the width of the window, the desired projection and the mounting location. We also consider obstacles such as downspouts, lighting or protruding parts on the facade. This way you prevent the awning from looking nice, but not functioning well in practice.
What does a rondo awning cost?
The costs depend on the size, fabric type, operation, and installation. A manual screen for a window is simpler than an electric version for a wide facade. For a complete overview of this type of exterior sun protection, you can also look at drop arm awnings.
Can a rondo awning be electrically operated?
That's possible in many situations. Electric operation is especially useful when the screen is mounted high or is frequently used. We'll check if the electrical connection can be neatly concealed and what type of control would be most comfortable for you: simple, clear, and without unnecessary technical fuss.
How do you maintain a drop arm awning?
Keep the fabric clean, preferably roll it up dry, and occasionally check that the arms and mechanism move smoothly. Dirt and moisture can eventually cause wear or stains. After installation, STERK will provide you with practical maintenance tips that match the chosen fabric and system.
Can STERK replace parts of a rondo awning?
Yes, if the system is still technically sound, parts can sometimes be replaced. Think of a new fabric, operation, or arm components. We first honestly assess what is sensible. You can find more about this at folding arm awning parts.
