Physique XL™

Physique XL™ is a heavy duty system exclusively designed to use 13' (4m) arms. It is a member of a chain driven arms awning family. Every retractable awning, while being extended, experiences a lot of mechanical loads, especially during windy conditions. These loads become more significant for awnings with greater projection, mainly for 13' projection. Physique XL™ features exceptionally robust arm shoulders designed to handle the torque at the point where the arm is connected to the square bar, as well as forceful lateral arms with rigid stainless steel chain links.

All parts are made from corrosion resistant materials and most of them are finished with a white powder coating. The awnings are made to the client specification with custom widths starting from 15' wide in 1" increments.

	Extremely strong arm shoulder made of high strength extruded and die cast aluminum sustains the weight and tremendous torques associated with a 13' projection. The awning’s inclination can be easily changed on the job site using a hex key.
	The Physique XL™ arms use extruded aluminum profiles and die-cast elbow joints with stainless steel chains. Powerful springs keep the fabric in tension at all times. Self-lubricating bronze bushings reduce wear and tear.
	The fixing bracket is designed to maximize the range of motion of the arms where they meet the front bar, while using Rolltec®'s signature shock-absorbing parts to extend the life of the awning.
	A newly designed front bar has a modern slim look with specially engineered internal reinforcement, and gives continuity to the fabric top while still adding strength to the overall system.
	A specially designed 40mm extruded aluminum square bar with 5mm architectural reinforcement ribs that prevent it from twisting. This improvement is done to accommodate the increased torque of a larger projection.
	Rolltec® uses a structural galvanized steel roller tube with spring memory to re-bound to its original shape.
	A variety of brackets for any installation. Wall (regular and 3-hole), ceiling, roof brackets, as well as 4 sizes of rafter brackets (used in combination with ceiling brackets).
	A speedy bevel gear with a 5:1 ratio for quick and easy use. A special feature of this gear is a stopper that prevents the awning from rolling up in the wrong direction.
	Made of solid extruded aluminum, the optional hood protects the awning from dirt, debris and the elements. A weather strip at the back eliminates the need for caulking. Unlike other metal hoods, this one will not make a vibrating noise in the wind.
	Maximize your retractable awning enjoyment with a remote controlled motor from Somfy. Preinstalled at the factory, it only needs to be plugged into the regular outlet. Also available with manual override, which lets you retract your awning manually if power loss occurs.
