A comparison of retractable awnings: the B50, B50 XL and B50 S
Brustor showcases the widest range of awnings in the market. We’ve got the perfect solution for every style, application, and set of specifications. To keep it simple, we’ve subdivided our awnings into distinct ranges: B20, B30, and B50. Each range is distinguished by a set of unique technical and design features. This article zooms in on the B50 collection, which includes the B50, B50 XL, and B50 S awnings.
The B50 collection at a glance
A compact, oval design is what sets the B50 range awnings apart. End-to-end housing fully encloses the B50 collection’s parts, providing them with first-rate protection. And that ensures that both parts and fabric stay in tip-top condition that much longer, whatever the weather.
However, versatility is what truly makes B50 awnings a win: they can be mounted to ceilings or walls. The key difference between the three B50 awnings is the screen dimensions. The B50 XL is ideal for shading large patios, while the B50 S is exactly what’s needed for flats with small balconies.
B50: the collection’s cornerstone
The B50 is the début B50 awning and is the cornerstone of the collection. The awning’s housing features a compact, oval design, and the awning itself can be mounted to walls and ceilings.
B50 XL for shade in abundance
The B50 XL is the super-sized version of the original compact B50; it has an enhanced, robust structure, and the housing can be equipped with an LED strip. B50 XL inspires confidence due to its model strength, stability, and specially reinforced housing.
B50 S: Small but stalwart
The B50 S is the B50’s kid sister, the awning for flats and small patios. Featuring compact, hard-wearing housing, the B50 S awning is available up to 5.5 metres wide and extends up to 3 metres.
