About this project
The scale of this Kilkenny awning is its first striking feature. A seven-metre canopy, three arms and adjustable lighting come together in one broad installation.
LEDs run through the arms and along the front, with a dimming device included. Being able to turn the brightness down gives more flexibility than simply having the lights on or off, whether the space is being used earlier or later in the evening.
A large installation with a softer evening setting
A broad awning does not always need equally bright lighting throughout an evening. The dimmer provides a way to change the light level after a meal or as the surroundings become darker.
The seven-metre span also makes the closed unit an important visual feature. For another installation at this scale, discuss the appearance against the building as well as the view from beneath the canopy. The three-arm arrangement belongs to this project and should not be assumed for every awning of similar width.
Solution and installation
The canopy projects 3.5m, and the frame has a cream finish. Motorised operation and a wind sensor complete the setup. The three-arm arrangement is part of this particular project, alongside its generous width and integrated lighting.

FAQ — Kilkenny
Can the lighting on this Kilkenny awning be dimmed?
Yes. A dimming device is included with the LEDs in the arms and front.
How many arms support this seven-metre installation?
Three arms are listed for this awning.
Does every seven-metre awning use three arms?
This installation does. The configuration for another awning depends on its model and specification, so it should be confirmed rather than inferred from width alone.
