INSTALLATION OF TENSIONED SAIL + BOX + VERTICAL AWNING

On this occasion we installed several products in the same space. We carried out the installation of a tension sail fixed at two ends to the wall and the other two fixed to steel struts of 200 mm diameter. This sail provides great shade and allows you to extend the usable part of the porch. On the porch we installed a vertical awning with different fixing angles to the ground to allow, or not, the passage of air. Next to this awning we installed an Aland model chest awning with LED lights. This awning is ideal for creating a warm atmosphere during the night thanks to the LED lights it is...

INSTALLATION OF TWO BOX AWNINGS MODEL ALAND ON SATE FACADE

At Tendals Gircat we always find solutions to achieve the best possible installation of our products. In this case, we installed two Aland box awnings on a SATE facade. The SATE insulation made it impossible for us to fix the awnings directly to the facade, so we came to the conclusion to fix them directly to the concrete roof of the house. To do this we fixed three custom-made steel plates, which allowed us to obtain a suitable fixing to support the awnings. Both awnings have a wind sensor and remote control to ensure safety and comfort when using them. For more information on chest...

INSTALLATION OF MOTORIZED ROLLING AWNINGS 100 X 100

We installed a motorized sliding pergola with a front gate and a 100 mm x 100 mm profile. It was calculated so that the front cross member flew over the pool so that it could cover as much space as possible. This pergola works with a motorized mechanism operated by remote control, allowing the awning to be opened and closed quickly and efficiently. In addition, a vertical awning was installed on one of the sides to cover the last hours of sunlight. The color white was chosen for the aluminum and thus managed to maintain the aesthetics of the house. The canvas was chosen in a more broken...

KYMA VERTIKO BOX AWNING INSTALLATION

This time we installed a Kyma model chest awning. To begin with, we installed two steel plates fixed directly to the column with chemical tack, which allowed us to fix the awning supports. Once this was done, all that was left was to hang the awning and secure it. In this case, it was chosen to install the Kyma vertiko version, which is the model that has an extra vertical awning inside the front profile. Both awnings are powered by Somfy motors and a vibration wind sensor was also installed.

MOTORIZED ALAND MODEL CHEST INSTALLATION

The installation of an Aland model chest awning fixed to a concrete wall is carried out to expand the shaded area of the terrace. The awning was fixed frontally to the wall and given an inclination to drain the rainwater. The shade generated by the awning makes it possible to take advantage of this space where the sun used to always touch and at the same time protects you from the rain. The awning works through a remote control and has a wind sensor that collects the awning according to the intensity of the wind. Chest awnings are the most suitable to withstand inclement weather and have a...

INSTALLATION OF TENSIONED SAIL WITH 4 BRACKETS

Large tensioned sail installation with 4 iron props. To carry out this installation, a previous study of forces and loads was carried out. When carrying out the cementation, holes were made 1.5 meters wide x 1 meter deep. In addition, they put the shoes together. The shoes have metric 20 rods. Once the cementing was done, the steel struts were fixed. These props were manufactured with 15º degrees of inclination to support the tension caused by the sail. Once the props were fixed, we proceeded to place and tension the sail. These sails are ideal for covering large areas and generating...

INSTALLATION OF PERGOLA AWNING WITH VERTICALS WITH GUIDE

This time we have installed a pergola awning with 120 cm x 120 cm profiles and vertical ones with guides to close the perimeter. Only one prop was fixed to the floor, all the other points were fixed directly to the wall, taking advantage of the facade of the house. The aluminum was chosen in white and the canvas in cinnamon, achieving a very elegant and visual contrast. The size of the canvas was calculated so that it would be completely taut once the awning is open, in order to better withstand the winds. In addition to the pergola awning, two vertical awnings were installed with guides...

INSTALLATION OF TWO MATICBOX 350 AWNINGS

Installation of 2 motorized Maticbox 350 box awnings with wind sensor. Project carried out with the aim of covering the maximum possible space of the terrace, which is why the Maticbox model was chosen to be able to reach a width of 6 meters. In this case, two awnings were installed, one fixed at the front and the other under the overhang. The supports were fixed with chemical tack, ideal for fixing large awnings that can suffer strong wind loads. The two awnings work with a motor and remote control and have two wind sensors, one for each awning. The two awnings are completely integrated...

INSTALLATION OF A BOX AWNING TO IRON STRUCTURE

Chest model Storbox 400 by Llaza

The Storbox 400 model box awning is installed on a crossbar held by two iron plates. On this occasion we had to reinvent ourselves since the area that was to be covered with the awning did not allow for the proper installation, due to lack of height and fixing space. Therefore, we decided to create a structure using two plates and an iron crossbar. The two plates are fixed to the two columns of the porch each held from 12 points with chemical tack. A 5.50 meter wide cross member is placed on top of the plates and fixed from 22 points using metric 10 threaded bolts. Making this structure...

It is about the installation of four curtains on the outside of the house with cable guide to resist the winds. The supports are fixed directly to wood. The curtains were motorized with Somfy motors, allowing a wind sensor to be installed to prevent the consequences of these strong winds. Curtains and not awnings were installed in order to maintain the minimalist effect of the house. The fabric color is Polyscreen 16020 with 1% light transparency. With this color it was...

ADVANTAGES OF BOX AWNINGS

INSTALLATION OF THREE PERGOLA AWNINGS ON CONCRETE STRUCTURE

Project made of three pergola awnings installed on concrete structures to cover the light hole. One of the awnings measures 4.78m x 2.35m and the other two 2.70m x 2.38m with acrylic canvas and textured silver aluminum Ral. Due to the shutter box of the house, the two awnings at the front of the house were fitted with a transverse strut, in order to be able to fix the supports of the guides. On the other side, the supports were fixed directly to concrete, giving a lot of rigidity to the general structure. To finish off the installation, water protection spoilers were installed to cover the...

INSTALLATION OF 4 MATICBOX-350 BOX IN WOOD

This time we have carried out a very peculiar installation of four Maticbox 350 box awnings. The project consisted of installing the awnings on the wooden beams, which forced us to create square-shaped iron plates to be able to fix the supports. The plates are supported from five points (two on the front and three on the ceiling) to support the weight of the awning. These consist of two holes with metric 10 thread, which are used to fix the awning support. Once the plates were installed, it was only necessary to fix the supports to them and then proceed to hang the awnings. The same...

INSTALLATION OF ALAND BOX WITH VIEWS TO MONTSERRAT

An installation of two Aland model chest awnings directly fixed to an iron beam was carried out. To fix the supports of the awnings, a direct hole was made in the iron beam and then a thread pitch of metric 10 was made. It was decided to place the awnings in the center of the beams so that, once closed, the hidden as much as possible, giving the feeling as if they were part of the structure itself. One of the awnings is 3600 mm wide and the other 5700 mm and both consist of a 3 meter opening to be able to cover most of the terrace. The arms have integrated LED light strips to be able to take...
