Cambridge Awning Panel | Wunderlite Pressed Metal Panels

This pressed metal awning panel was the single most popular decorative awning panel used under shop front awnings on corner stores and rows of small adjoined shops and commercial premises from the 1880's through to the first World War (1920 approx).

It is based around a 18" square module featuring a rough cast ( or pebble ) design bordered by an arrangement of ridges along the edges and circles in the corners.

Wunderlite manufactures strips of these modules, (four to a sheet) in both galvanised iron and etch primed aluminum. The individual strips lap over each of their neighbors and are simply fixed by nailing to softwood battons.

Often this very simple design was used on is own with only a timber or folded metal capping acting as a cornice abutment to the shop front and simply butted against the awning surround without further concern for decorative finishes around the edges.

Any awning installation may be dresesed up by breaking the chosen design into pattern blocks using filler strips and capping of various designs.

You should discuss your particular requirement with us possibly sending a dimensioned plan so that we can make suggestions how the paricular installation may be handled. There are a variety of ways in which the traditional awning fixers addressed the continuation of patterns around cornes where awnings are provided to two sides of a building for example or where different horizons were involved.
