The awning within an awning… What is a drop valance? What is it used for on retractable awnings?

Hi Heather, great question. We have several solutions:

One awning model has arms that allow the awning to be tilted to one side or the other.

Also, we can make custom fabric panels that attach to the side of the awning.

Also, we have a tension shade specifically designed to attach and operate sideways for privacy or side sun. These can be installed on awning projects or even as standalone solutions.

Window Works does it match the front one that comes down?

Yes, it can. The fabric can be a mesh or acrylic like Sunbrella. Depends on the goals for the space.
