Butterfly Awning Installation for Student Union

Posted on May 25, 2021 by Samson

Whilst lockdown restrictions were easing, Lincoln University placed an order with our team at Samson for three large retractable butterfly awning systems, needed to create shelter for an outdoor bar seating area.

The butterfly awning system is a very popular option due to its pleasing appearance, retractable sun and rain protection qualities, as well as the easily retractable, self-supported system. Combined with LED lighting and infrared heaters, this project is a great example of how butterfly awnings can offer the perfect outdoor cover for large areas.

Sizing

Each system can be sized to offer cover of up to 7m x 8m. The goalpost aluminium frame is manufactured up to 7m long and each side can carry a retractable awning with a projection of up to 4m each side.

These particular systems were all 7m long with 2 no, Markilux 5010 awnings either side, projecting 4m each and operated by remote control, electric operation for ease of management.

More on the Syncra Butterfly Awning…

The Markilux Syncra butterfly awning frame is a wonderful engineered system with super robust results, and a fine finish in a choice of various textured paint finishes with long lasting durability.

These are German engineered and manufactured systems designed, tested and developed in exactly the same climate as we have here in the UK, so are far more relevant than any systems only developed for sun shading. We probably have the most diverse weather in Europe here in the UK, often with all seasons experienced in one day!!
