Load Tested & Simulation Verified

Load Test Results

LoadBear stainless steel awnings are physically tested to 400 kg and rigorously validated in computer (FEA) simulation from 250 kg to 400 kg —
aesthetically pleasing, robust, and corrosion-resistant against the elements.

Painted in a range of standard colours: RAL 9016 White (semi-gloss), RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey (texture) and RAL 9005 Black (semi-gloss or texture). Other colours available on application.
