Why the AW01
Wind tested to Class 3 by Intertek Integrated LED lighting for the evening Fully enclosed cassette seals the fabric away Spanish Sauleda acrylic fabric Motorised, with remote and wind sensor 37 colourways: 19 solids and 18 stripes Assembled and bench-tested in Melbourne
Built for Melbourne weather
Chosen to avoid the four things that usually shorten an awning's life.
Mould
Acrylic sheds water rather than holding it, and the cassette closes the fabric away dry. Clear leaves and pooled water and it stays that way.
Sagging
Thickened stainless steel chain-link arms hold the fabric drum-tight across the full projection, so it does not belly or pool.
Rattling
Retracted, the front bar closes into the sealed cassette. Nothing is left hanging to catch a gust and knock against the wall.
More of the day outside
Shade at midday, light in the evening, from one unit on the wall.
Take the deck back from the sun. The acrylic fabric blocks up to 98% of UV, so the space under it is usable at midday in January rather than only before ten and after four.
It does not close at sunset. The LED strip runs along the front bar, so the table is lit without string lights, extension leads or anything else to trip over.
Fit it yourself, or have a tradie do it.
The AW01 arrives assembled and bench-tested. Installation is two wall brackets, a lift, and a power connection - a competent DIYer with a helper can do it in an afternoon, or your own tradesperson can. Everything they need is in the manual and the two guides below.
Two people and an afternoon
Mark the wall, fix two brackets, lift the cassette on and clip it in. Two people for the lift, three if it is over 4 m wide. Fixings are supplied.
Any solid wall, with the right anchor
Concrete, solid brick and structural timber take the supplied anchors directly. Hollow or cavity brick uses a chemical anchor with a sleeve, and rendered or clad walls fix through to the structure behind - standard practice for any installer, and any hardware store stocks the parts.
Brackets go where the arms are
Bracket positions are set by the arm bases for your width, 6.5 cm in from each end of the cassette. Set them level and the rest follows.
Power by a licensed electrician
The motor is 240 V AC, so the electrical connection is done by a licensed electrician - a short job once the unit is on the wall. Everything else on the install is yours to do.
