About this project
The insulated wall was an important part of the mounting conditions for this Donabate project. The finished awning combines a grey canopy with lighting in the arms and front bar.
The canopy measures 5m wide and extends 3.5m. An installation on an insulated wall calls for attention to the wall build-up when planning the fixing arrangement; the surface finish alone does not describe what lies behind it.
Looking beyond the visible wall finish
A finished wall surface does not reveal its full construction. For an insulated wall, the layers behind the visible finish matter when considering an awning’s mounting arrangement.
This Donabate project is therefore useful as a reminder to mention wall insulation at the beginning of an enquiry. Any available information about the wall can be discussed alongside photographs, dimensions and the desired lighting, so the fitting conditions are part of the conversation from the start.
Solution and installation
This project uses anthracite construction and U104 grey fabric. Motorised operation and a wind sensor are included. LEDs in both the arms and front bar add lighting beneath the canopy and along its edge.

FAQ — Donabate, Dublin
Was this awning installed on an insulated wall?
Yes. That mounting condition is recorded for the Donabate installation.
Where is the built-in lighting positioned?
LEDs are fitted in the arms and the front bar.
Should I mention external wall insulation when asking for a quote?
Yes. Include any information you have about the wall build-up. The mounting arrangement needs to be assessed for the actual construction, not only its visible finish.
