What is a window awning?
A window awning is a type of external solar shading that is fitted over windows to stop the sun’s rays before they hit the pane. The awning consists of a rollable cloth of fabric or PVC material that is fixed in a cassette over the window. The fabric is supported by awning arms on each side that can be folded in and out.
When the awning is extended, the fabric forms a sloping roof projection in front of the window. This prevents direct sunlight from reaching the window and reduces the heating of the room inside by up to 80%. At the same time, the awning lets in more natural daylight than internal blinds and curtains, preserving the view.
Window awnings are available in many different sizes, colors and designs to suit different facades and window types. They can be adapted to windows from approx. 50 cm to 5 meters wide. The awning fabric is available solid or striped, and in different qualities and color shades. The construction can be made of aluminum or steel and can be painted in the desired RAL color.
Window awnings can be operated manually with a crank or cord pull or motorized with a remote control or app control. Smart motorized variants can also have sun and wind sensors that control the awnings automatically according to weather conditions.
Hva koster vindusmarkiser?
The price of window awnings varies depending on factors such as size, material, quality, control solutions, accessories and whether you want installation included or not.
- The smallest and cheapest variants can cost as little as NOK 8-900.
- Better quality window awnings for small windows usually cost from around NOK 3.000-6.000.
- Window awnings for larger windows with a width of up to 5 meters usually cost from around NOK 5.000-10.000.
If you choose a motorized window awning in a larger width, you should expect prices from around NOK 10.000 and upwards. Awnings over 4 meters, or with extra sturdy fabric and a powerful motor, can quickly reach NOK 15.000-20.000 per piece. If you also want automatic sun and wind control, remote control or app control, you can expect to pay an additional NOK 2.000-5.000 per awning.
In the NOK 20.000-30.000 range and above, you’ll find customized window awnings in large sizes and exclusive designs. These can include corner solutions, arched awnings or very special colors and patterns on the awning fabric. Here, the price will vary greatly depending on the scope and complexity of the project.
What choices do you have?
When choosing a window awning, you are faced with a number of options to tailor the solution to your needs. First, you need to decide on the shape and design of the awning. The most common variants are curved or open at the front. The awning fabric can be chosen in plain or striped fabric, in acrylic or polyester of different quality and color shades. Some suppliers also have their own design collections or offer customization with patterns or logo printing.
The form of operation is also important to consider. Manual awnings with a crank or cord pull are the most affordable but offer less flexibility. Motorized awnings can be controlled with a remote control, app or wall switch, making everyday life easier. You can also upgrade with smart solutions such as sun and wind sensors that automatically retract and extend the awnings according to weather conditions. The awning structure itself is available in different colors such as white, anthracite or silver to match windows and facades. Some suppliers can also paint in any RAL color for an additional cost.
In addition, customization options are available such as angle adjustment, niche solutions, arch shape or asymmetrical awnings to fit all types of windows.
What affects the price?
-
Size
The size of the awning is crucial. The wider and longer the awning, the more fabric and stronger components are needed. Large awnings that are more than 4 meters wide quickly become expensive. -
Material
The material of the awning fabric has a lot to say. High-quality acrylic fabric with a long lifespan, UV protection and dirt and water treatment costs more than standard polyester fabric. -
Operating solution
The operating solution makes up a significant part of the price. Manual awnings with a crank or cord are the most affordable. Motorized awnings with remote control or app cost a lot more. If you want additional sun, wind or rain sensors, you’ll have to pay a lot more. -
Color
The color of the awning fabric can also play a role. Some suppliers offer a range of standard colors at a reasonable price, while special colors cost extra. If the awning is to have a pattern or logo, you should expect a surcharge. -
Installation
Installation will also affect the total price. Simple installation conditions result in lower installation costs than if the awning has to be installed at height or in places with difficult access. -
Warranty
The length of the warranty and the quality of the awning fabric, construction and motor also determine the price. Reputable brands tend to offer a 5-year warranty and therefore higher prices than unknown brands. -
Adaptions
Special adaptations such as angles, arches or niche solutions can result in a hefty price premium. The same applies to extras such as LED lighting and heat lamps.
