Folding Arm Awnings
With Summer just days away, it’s getting hotter. The Summer sun can make homes hot, especially in the heat of the day. In Queensland, we spend a lot of time entertaining or in outdoor areas.
Our Folding Arm Awnings are a perfect solution for those entertaining areas that you require temporary shade with the push of a button. With the flexibility to fold away when not needed.
Here’s two examples of Folding Arm awnings that we have completed for clients.

Introducing Secureview…
We are proud to announce that we are now stocking Secureview Security products.
Secureview is an Australian company that prides itself on quality. Here’s some details about their product.
The T316 marine grade stainless steel mesh used is the same metal composition specified by performance yacht manufacturers on crucial fittings and cables. Years of research and development by security experts has enabled SecureView to launch these class-leading designs on the market, backed by innovation that works.
SecureView is continually tested and passes to the highest required standards including:
- Knife Shear Tests (AS5039 – 2008)
- Impact Tests (AS5039 – 2008)
- Anti-jemmy Tests ( AS5039 – 2008)
- Pull Tests (AS5039 – 2008)
- Aluminium frame specification: 6060 T5 powdercoated to a minimum thickness of 60um
- Stainless mesh specification: T316 Marine Grade, 0.8mm diameter, hardened for extra strength, 11×11 strands per 25mm (1 inch)
Impact Test
To simulate the effect of someone trying to kick in the door or window screen, a bag filled with lead shot and sand weighing approximately 45kg is used to generate impact energy of 100j. Impacting the door or window screen at a point approximately 600mm from the bottom and 250mm from the edge, the door or window screen needs to withstand 5 such impacts in order to pass this first test.
“Most doors tested do not pass this first test but Secureview came through with flying colours” – Azuma Design & Testing.
Jemmy Test
The lever, generally a flat screwdriver 300mm long is wedged between the lock and the frame. To obtain a maximum torque of 450Nm a winch is then used to try and spring the door at each locking point, then at each hinge. The lever is secured in relation to the pivot point with a hold force of 700n.
A door needs to remains securely closed to pass this demanding test.
Pull Test
When testing type 3 Products such as Secureview a pull test can only be carried out if a gap of 15mm x 90mm is achieved following the jemmy test. This is because there is nowhere to mount the pull test bracket.
Because every Secureview product tested performed so well in each preceding test, the ‘pull test’ dld not need to be carried out and was given automatic approval.
Knife Shear Test
A heavy-duty trimming knife such as the Stanley 10-999 is specified for this test to try and cut through the mesh. The blade is drawn 250mm along a line with a vertical downward force of 150N with a horizontal force of up to 350N. This test is carried out 3 times with a new blade inserted into the knife each time. In order to pass, any penetration of the blade cannot be greater than 150mm.
The Secureview mesh when tested resulted in only the first few strands being cut on the third test. “The mesh used in Secureview is always one of the best performing woven products” – Azuma Design & Testing
