The New RS-Visor: Perfect for Energy-Efficient Wooden Homes
In an exciting move, Daiken Co., Ltd., a comprehensive manufacturer of construction hardware and exterior materials, is set to launch two models of their aluminum mini awning – the RS-Visor® RS-MS-W/RS-M-W type – on December 17, 2025. These awnings are specifically designed to be retrofitted onto wooden houses, adding both charm and functionality.
Advantages of the RS-Visor Awning
The RS-Visor awning serves more than just an aesthetic purpose. It provides essential protection from rain and sun, preventing heat build-up inside homes and enhancing the efficiency of air conditioning units. This leads to significant energy savings, making it a conscious choice for eco-friendly living.
One of the standout features of these durable awnings is their capability for retrofitting after the wooden building has been completed. Installation is feasible using included screws on compatible exterior walls made from fiber cement siding (horizontal panels only).
Note: The RS-MS-W type uses coach screws while the RS-M-W type requires hex head screws for fitting.
Overview of the Models
RS-MS-W Type
The RS-MS-W model offers a bracket-based installation, where the awning attaches to a supporting bracket. The projection width can be either 200mm or 300mm, while the width is adjustable from 500mm, allowing customization in 1mm increments. This model's configuration is particularly versatile, accommodating different window sizes or doorways seamlessly.
RS-M-W Type
In contrast, the RS-M-W model utilizes a direct mounting system. It is available in two projection options: 100mm and 180mm, also with a width customization from 500mm to fit specific requirements. This compactness makes it ideal for smaller spaces without compromising on effectiveness.
Both types come in two elegant color options: silver and stainless steel. They are built to withstand heavy snowfall, rated for up to 60cm (1800N/㎡), ensuring durability in various weather conditions. The RS-Visor is perfect for installations above windows and utility doors in wooden constructions.
