Believe it or not, springtime is right around the corner so now is the time to preview the fabulous new range of Awnings from Luxaflex, which includes three brand new systems, guaranteeing your customers will find one to suit their needs. Four new systems have been introduced to the collection for 2006:

• Base Plus: a cassetted system that allows the awning to extend back into a neat casing. Available now in silver, steel and bronze, as well as standard white or brown hardware.
• Variosun: an angled awning structure that allows adjustment of the awning down in several stages over the window area, making it perfect for protecting furnishings from the sun.

• Via Grande: a freestanding, double-sided unit which doesn't need to be attached to a wall, allowing this system can be moved position to where it is most needed.

• Orvieto Cross Arm: Another problem that can now be overcome is where space is at a premium and the width of the awning restricts the projection of a folding arm. The new Orvieto cross arm utilises a mechanism which allows an awning with 4.1m arms to be installed in a space only 2.7m wide.

Luxaflex awnings extend the indoor living area outdoors and provide cool shade in summer; and protection from the temperamental British weather. Beautifully designed in hard-wearing 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric, designed not to rot, twist, shrink or fade, and available in a range of plain and striped Dickson Constant fabrics, the Luxaflex awning range makes a versatile and colourful home improvement investment, creating an instant cool and relaxing haven from the sun's rays. All Luxaflex awnings have a host of sun and wind activated motorised options available or can be controlled via a manual wand. There is also the added option of an under awning 'Lightbox'.
