1. Protective Hood: The optional protective hood is made from
strong, lightweight, UV resistant PVC and is available in white,
ivory
or sand to match frame colors (our brown hood is constructed of
powder coated aluminum). Our uniquely designed hood will shield
your shading system from the elements when retracted and is ideal
for use with roof-mounted or wall-mounted units.
2. Installation
Bracket: Our installation brackets are specifically
designed for each style of mounting application. These extruded
aluminum brackets are tested to withstand the rigors of daily
use
without causing damage to your home. All mounting brackets,
including our unique roof-mount bracket system, are fitted with
stainless steel fasteners and are treated with a durable
powder-coat finish to resist corrosion.
3. Arm Castings: These vacuumed
injection castings are produced
with a special new alloy -– 4250-2B. This alloy allows us
to create
arm components with 5 times more flexibility that are up to 40%
stronger than ever before. Our castings are chromate treated
before powder coating to provide superior adhesion, passing a
rigorous 1,000-hour ASTM-B117-02 salt spray test – unheard
of
in the industry.
4. Torsion Bar: The 40mm square bar is the backbone
of this
shading system. Our torsion bar is constructed of 6061 T-6
aluminum, with a polyester powder-coated finish. The large profile
dimension ensures that your investment will remain in adjustment
and react properly to various conditions.
5. Retractable Arms: Our retractable
arms incorporate many unique
features such as the Double Locking Pitch System. Select arms
utilize single stainless steel 4mm cable and an exceptionally large,
articulated elbow. These key features, combined with our epoxy
assembly process, ensure that our arms will stand the test of time
and continued use – exceeding the TUV testing standards. The
arm
tension is activated through cables and springs. Our cables are made
of 133-strand aircraft quality, 10,000 pound test cables. They work
in conjunction with the cold-wound internal arm springs. On
11’6” and 13’0 projections we incorporate double
springs in each
arm for extra tension providing a beautiful, taut fabric cover.
6. Front Bar: This unique, extruded
aluminum component incorporates a multi-chamber profile that is very
compact in design.
The use of multiple chambers, with internal ribs, greatly reduces
deflection. Reducing deflection allows for the most taut fabric
possible and eliminates unsightly front bar sagging and bowing. The
front bar also incorporates specially designed fabric locks to secure
the fabric cover to the framework.
7. Roller Tube: Our premium-grade
roller tube is made of
cold-rolled steel that has a galvanized finish inside and out.
The
cut ends are resealed with a galvanized finish to prevent corrosion.
We utilize a 78mm diameter roller tube with a 1.25mm wall
thickness, produced in steel, to provide the best performing shading
system possible. By combining these dimensions, we create a
shading system that will span up to 20 feet without a center
support or a split-roller.
8. Motors: We offer
a variety of tubular motor and electronic
controls that provide quiet, touch-of-a-button operating convenience
including the options of automated weather sensing devices. The
motor itself is contained within the roller tube of the unit and
is UL
approved for safety, along with all electronics controls.
9. Fabric Cover: Employing
state-of-the-art, computer assisted cutting and sewing equipment
allows us to produce a perfect cover
every time. The fabric covers starts with only first run goods
that pass our stringent inspection process. Once the goods are
inspected, we incorporate Gortex thread for all of our sewing.
Superior quality Gortex thread, combined with 100% solution-dyed
acrylic fabric, allows us to produce a cover that will look and
perform at a level that exceeds your expectations for years to
come.
