AP-550 Essential Arm Awning
Arm awnings
Essential lines, absolute adaptability.
The essential entry point of the AlfaProtech arm-awning line: a compact, open structure whose profiles hide every electrical component, a customised pitch and generous coverage of up to 5.9 × 3.4 m. An optional protective hood and LED line let the awning grow with your project — the smart choice where simplicity wins.
Technical details
Every dimension, movement and finish is engineered around your project: section sizes, clearances and load behaviour are defined together with your installer to suit the exact conditions of your site.
Features
- Wiring hidden in the profiles — Every electrical component sits inside the arm profiles — clean sightlines and weather-safe cabling.
- Grows with your project — Add the protective hood or the LED line later — the structure is ready for both from day one.
- From balconies to wide terraces — Starting from a 223 cm footprint that fits balconies, extending to nearly six metres of coverage.
