Why choose Avenir Renovations?
The types of awnings we install in Wavre
There are several configurations of awnings depending on the facade and usage.
Articulated arm awning
This is the most common solution. The awning is fixed to the facade and unfolds by extending the articulated arms. The projection length can reach four to five meters. The fabric is available in UV-resistant acrylic, micro-perforated to maintain the view, or blackout according to needs. Motorization allows for opening and closing with a gesture and can include a wind sensor that automatically retracts the awning.
Awnings with integrated box
The integrated box protects the fabric from the elements when the awning is retracted. The lifespan of the fabric is significantly extended, and the facade appearance is cleaner than an exposed box. This option is recommended for exposures where the awning will remain open frequently.
Vertical awning and sunshade screen
For terraces or large glass doors that are highly exposed, a vertical roller screen protects from glare and prying eyes without completely closing off the space. Coupled with a pergola, it forms a complete protection set.
Motorization and control of your awning in Wavre
A motorized awning is more practical and better protects the fabric than a manual mechanism used without care.
The choice of fabric for your awning in Wavre
The fabric is the part of the awning that endures the most climatic constraints. Its choice deserves special attention.
The mass-dyed acrylic fabric is the most resistant to UV rays and the easiest to clean. It does not fade and retains its colors for seven to ten years of regular use. Heavy weights (over 300 g/m²) offer better wind rigidity and a longer lifespan. Avenir Rénovations offers a wide catalog of colors and stripes to match the facade of your house in Wavre.
The micro-perforated fabric allows diffuse light to pass through while filtering UV rays and reducing the temperature under the awning. It is ideal for terraces where you want to keep the view of the garden without exposing yourself to direct sunlight. It is less resistant to fine rain than solid fabric because the perforations are not waterproof.
For facades or side awnings, a transparent PVC fabric creates protection against wind and rain while maintaining brightness. It is particularly suitable for covered terraces where one wants to extend the season beyond October.
What is the price of an awning in Wavre?
The budget depends on the width, projection, and options. Indicative ranges in Belgium, VAT included.
| Type of work | Price indication including VAT |
| Manual awning with articulated arms (3x2 m) | 1,200 to 2,500 € |
| Motorized awning with cassette (4x3 m) | 2,500 to 5,000 € |
| Wind or rain sensor (option) | 150 to 400 € |
A precise quote is established after a visit and measurement of the facade and terrace. For a terrace in Wavre that is 4 meters wide, a motorized awning with a full cassette typically costs between 2,500 and 5,000 €, including wall mounting and drainage.
Maintenance and lifespan of your awning in Wavre
A quality awning lasts ten to fifteen years with minimal maintenance. Here are the key actions to get the most out of it in the Brabant climate.
The fabric: cleaning and wintering
A cleaning with clear water and a soft brush in spring is enough to remove winter deposits. It is recommended to retract the awning during prolonged freezing periods and never fold it when wet: the fabric molds if it remains damp in the box for several consecutive days.
The mechanism and motorization
Annual lubrication of the arm joints and a check of the motor's end stops are the only necessary technical maintenance. If the wind sensor is present, test it each spring to confirm it triggers correctly.
The lifespan of the fabric
A quality acrylic fabric withstands UV rays for seven to twelve years depending on exposure. It can be replaced without changing the structure of the awning. Avenir Rénovations offers fabric replacement on existing structures if the frame is still in good condition.
Fixing a retractable awning in Wavre: facade constraints
Fixing the awning to the facade is the most important technical step. A poorly fixed awning can detach due to wind and cause damage to the facade or to people.
Checking the facade's resistance
Before installation, we assess the nature of the support: solid brick, hollow brick, cellular concrete, or coated masonry. The anchors and fixing bolts are sized according to the weight of the awning and the surface area of the deployed fabric, which creates a sail exposed to the wind. An awning 4 meters wide deployed in moderate wind exerts a force of several hundred kilograms on its fixings.
Fixings in concrete lintel
If the facade is made of concrete or if the lintel of the opening is made of reinforced concrete, the fixings are stronger and can accommodate heavier awnings. In this case, chemical anchoring is preferable to mechanical anchors to ensure long-term stability.
