Unlike other retractable awning systems (link to /en/retractable-awnings/), this mechanism allows you to adjust the pitch of the fabric precisely, providing optimum solar protection without sacrificing ventilation or visibility.
At Siplan, we manufacture drop arm systems designed to withstand the demands of daily use, offering variants with different tension levels to ensure fabric stability in any position.
Not all facade openings require the same level of fastening. Therefore, in our catalogue, we distinguish three models based on their projection and internal traction system.
This is the premium system for vertical awnings in exposed areas. It incorporates a rectified compression spiral spring and a stainless steel chain, which guarantees that the fabric remains taut and does not flap in the wind.
A versatile solution that offers a tension assist mechanism, ideal for medium-sized windows where a balance between firmness and smooth operation is desired.
Designed for situations where the main priority is maximum projection over the balcony or window without the need for an additional mechanical tension system.
Technical Note: For projects requiring projections exceeding 1.60 m, we recommend considering our folding arm systems.

As manufacturers, we know that the drop arm must be functional but also discreet. Just like our cassette systems, these arms are available in multiple finishes and colors, blending perfectly into the exterior design of any building.
If you need specific original retractable awning parts (link to /en/retractable-awning-parts/) for the maintenance of your drop arm systems, or if you want information on how to motorize these units, we invite you to contact us (link to /en/contact/). At Siplan, we ensure that every component provides the durability professionals expect.
