With more than 50 years of experience in manufacturing awnings, Brustor has brought a wide range of awnings to the market. These awnings are divided into families: the B20, B30, and B50 series. Each series has its own strengths in terms of technology and design. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the B20 family with its B24, B25, B25 Valance, and B27 awnings.

What to look out for when choosing an awning?

If you want to install an awning on your terrace, there are a number of criteria to consider:

  • Design of the housing: Does the awning match the architectural style of your home?

  • Width of the awning: Can the awning be placed in the desired width?

  • Shade: Can you create as much shade as you want?

  • Extra options: Do you want specific extra options, such as LED lighting or a specific RAL color?

  • Unique: Which type of folding arm do you want: Standard, Elite or Prestige?

Our hat tip? Don't start puzzling yourself, but get advice from an authorized Brustor dealer. Our distributors have years of experience in installing awnings and know better than anyone how to guide you to the right choice, both on a technical and aesthetic level.

The B20 family at a glance

B24 awning

If you’re looking for an awning that stands rough handling, then the B24 is a good choice for you. Its strength and wind resistance are outstanding, as is the weather resistance of the aluminum components and the quality of the fabric. The awning has an elegant finish with aluminum side plates without visible screws and therefore fits with any architectural style.

B25 awning

The B25 is the awning where it all started and it’s still the best-selling awning in our range. And that’s no coincidence. The technology, the design, and the comfort of use are timeless and unequalled. The B25 has a discreet, compact, and completely closed cassette with rounded corners and maximum possibilities in terms of dimensions. After twenty years, this awning is still our showpiece.

B25 Valance awning

Our best-selling awning is also available with a retractable motorized valance up to 1.5 meters. It’s the only awning in this family that also comes with a motorized valance. It provides not only extra protection from the low sun but also extra privacy. The best part? It disappears discreetly into the front rail of the awning. Can you tell we are very proud of the B25 Valance?

B27 awning

The B27 is inspired by the successful B25 series, but adapted to the needs of modern housing. The housing has an architectural, clean design, and can be perfectly integrated in the façade. The awning is therefore the architect’s favorite.

Comparing the B20 family

The characteristics of the B20 family are largely the same. The main difference between these awnings is the design of the housing. And the B25 Valance is the only awning within this family with a motorized valance.
