What type of box to choose for your awning?

The choice of box type mainly depends on the level of exposure of the terrace to the elements and the budget available for the project.

Full box for maximum durability

The fabric and arms are fully protected when the awning is retracted, a solution particularly suited to the Belgian climate where rain and humidity heavily impact mechanisms that are constantly exposed.

Semi-box for a balanced compromise

The fabric remains protected while the arms are partially visible, a sufficient option when the terrace already benefits from a slight natural shelter provided by an existing roof overhang.

Monobloc for tighter budgets

Without a protective box, this model is mainly suitable for terraces that are less exposed to wind or for projects where the budget takes precedence over the long-term durability of the installed mechanism.

Motorization and automatic control

More and more homeowners in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert prefer a connected motorization rather than a manual crank for simplified daily use.

Remote control and wall button

The simplest solution, without connection to an existing home automation system, is still sufficient for standard daily use without specific advanced programming requirements.

Complete home automation integration

Connected to a system like Somfy or Brel, the awning can be combined with other home equipment, including lighting or shutters, for coherent automated scenarios.

Automatic weather sensors

A wind sensor automatically retracts the awning in case of a gust, while a sun sensor can deploy it as soon as a certain level of sunlight is detected on the concerned facade.

VAT and aids for an awning in Brussels

The 6% VAT applies to renovation work carried out in a home over 10 years old, including the installation of awnings, under the usual conditions related to the registered contractor and the invoice.

An awning does not fall within the scope of energy grants and is therefore not affected by the current suspension of the Renolution grants confirmed in February 2026. However, it can be included in an ECORENO loan if the overall project also includes recognized insulation or solar protection items.

Why choose Avenir Rénovations for your awning?

Precise sizing for each facade

We never offer a standard width without having accurately measured the terrace and studied the actual sun exposure throughout the day for that specific orientation.

A solid and durable fixing

The anchors are sized to withstand the frequent wind gusts in our regions, a point often overlooked by entry-level installations available on the market.

Support on connected options

We advise you on the sensors and home automation that are truly useful according to your usage, without systematically pushing towards the most sophisticated and expensive option in the catalog.

Available after-sales service

In case of adjustments to be made or motorization failure after installation, our team intervenes quickly to limit the inconvenience caused during the beautiful season.

Permits, orientation and wind resistance

A retractable awning typically does not require a permit if it is not fixed and remains within reasonable dimensions, although some municipal or condominium rules may apply and should be checked before the project. South and southwest facades, which are most exposed to the late afternoon sun, benefit the most from a retractable awning, although an east or west orientation is also relevant. In terms of resistance, motorized models equipped with a wind sensor automatically retract in case of strong gusts, a safety feature that protects the structure and significantly extends the lifespan of the mechanism.

Installation on old facades, timeline and maintenance

Installing a retractable awning on an old plaster facade is possible as long as the support's solidity is verified before fixation; a localized reinforcement may be necessary on weakened plasters, a point systematically checked during the technical visit. Generally, expect half a day for the installation of a manual model, and a full day for a motorized model with connected options and dedicated electrical connection. Simple maintenance is sufficient for the duration: an annual cleaning with clear water or mild soap, avoiding folding the awning when wet to prevent mold that can damage the fabric in the long term.

Enjoy your terrace all summer long

A well-sized retractable awning permanently transforms the use of a terrace, in Stockel as in other neighborhoods of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. Installation timelines significantly extend as summer approaches: starting a project early avoids waiting when it is most needed.
