CONSERVATORY AWNINGSConservatory awnings were originally designed in Germany for glass conservatories. A little bit of sun is enough to turn a glass roofed conservatory into a sauna! Conservatory awnings stop sun and heat before it can enter the room. Conservatory awnings are also commonly used for shade over pergolas
Sundream Conservatory Awning The Sundream Conservatory Awning is imported from Germany. It is designed to mount above glass roofs and pergolas but is also used in many other applications.
The harsh environment over a glass roof is extremely demanding. This highly versatile and robust awning runs in sturdy 6061 extruded aluminium guide tracks designed for maximum durability. All of the aluminium extrusions are powdercoated and all of the nuts and bolts are marine grade 316 stainless steel.
The Sundream Conservatory Awning is only available with motorised operation.
The side guides are all that are attached to the structure of the building. The cassette is attached onto the side guides, so does not require to be attached to the building. The compact and elegant cocoon style cassette ensures that the fabric, motor and running gear are completely protected from the elements when retracted.
At the core of every Sundream is the patented rotary pull-out system. The roller tube houses two heavy duty spring units which are increasingly loaded as the front bar extends. The more that the fabric is unrolled, the greater the tension becomes. This exclusive patented tension system means that the Sundream conservatory awning is not dependent on the easily worn out gas shocks that other less sophisticated systems rely upon.
For projections over 3m it is recommended to have an intermediate support roller for the fabric.
 If supported on posts or a frame the Sundream Conservatory Awning can be used to create a weatherproof area as it will withstand a significant amount of wind and, depending on the pitch of the awning, it can also be used for rain.
The Museum of Sydney, one of a growing number of commercial sites to utilise the Sundream Conservatory Awning.
All four awnings can be controlled as a group,or independently.  The Sundream Sunroof System utilizes the latest German engineering techniques and is ISO 9001 safety tested by German TUV (Product Safety Certification).
 Noblesse Awning
The Noblesse awning is mounted above a conservatory or pergola structure. This design incorporates the use of a frame mounted on guide tracks that operate using a gas compression spring system.
The Noblesse can extend up to 6 metres wide and 4 metres in projection. The guide tracks mount underneath the awning rather than at the sides of the awning as with the Sundream. This feature of the Noblesse means that the awning cover area is not limited by the size of the structure on which the awning is being mounted.
Millenium Folding Arm Awning The Millenium folding arm awning is made by Lewens Sonnenschutz-Systeme in Germany. It is a close fitting cassette awning designed to fit snugly against a wall. It's extremely compact dimenions - 170mm in height and 249mm deep - make it one of the most discrete folding arm awnings available.  As well as its compact appearance, the awning has many functional design features including a lip at the top edge of the cassette to prevent dew and light rain from leaving annoying dust trails on the front profile of the awning. A cover profile can be clipped in to seal between the awning and the wall. An extruded aluminium fabric cover shell conceals the fabric roll even when the awning is open. The front profile incorporates a double hollow chamber for increased rigidity and an integral rain gutter. In light rain water drains off at the side through concealed drain holes in the end caps.The Lewens folding arms are renowned for their strength. Other German awning manufacturers proudly boast that their awnings incorporate Lewens folding arms. The grandfather of the current managing director is credited as being the inventor of the folding arm awning.
The high spring tension provided by the triple springs ensures that the awning fabric is taut and will not rest on the arm joints. Many awning manufactures use marine grade cables in the hinges of the folding arms. Lewens use heavy duty aircraft grade cables which have more strength and importantly far more resilience to fatigue failure.
