Current Situation and Solution: Mobile Awnings – Upgrading Space with Outstanding Flexibility
In the context of urbanization and the need to optimize space, traditional shading solutions often lack flexibility and adaptability to changing weather conditions. Shading and protecting areas such as balconies, porches, restaurants, cafes, or parking lots always requires a solution that is effective, aesthetic, and convenient. To meet this requirement, retractable awnings have been developed as an upgraded version of fixed awnings. The FlexiiSmart system at FlexiiForm™ provides a retractable awning solution that integrates technology, ensures superior performance, and a streamlined design, providing a modern user experience.

Technical Requirements Analysis & Solution Context
The demand for a versatile cover solution that can flexibly adjust the coverage area according to usage needs and weather conditions is very high. The roof structure needs to ensure durability, withstand harsh environmental factors (harsh sunlight, heavy rain, strong wind) and have a long life to minimize maintenance costs. In addition, aesthetics, the ability to integrate automation technology (motor, sensor) and user-friendliness are also important requirements. Especially for large-scale projects such as school parking lots, the requirement for large coverage area, the ability to protect vehicles and improve the overall infrastructure is key.

Technical Solutions
The FlexiiSmart retractable awning system by FlexiiForm™ is a complete solution, designed with advanced engineering components and intelligent features.
Foundation Structure and Materials
- Frame and slide rail system: Made from high-quality aluminum profiles, imported directly from Europe. This material ensures durability, corrosion resistance and light weight, creating a compact, sharp structure. The connection system using screws or slide rail bolts makes the installation process easy and noiseless.
- Tensioned canvas material: Combined with high quality tensioned canvas material, produced with advanced technology, has good weather resistance, optimal waterproofing, anti-fading, heat insulation, fire resistance and anti-mold. This feature makes the product extremely suitable for high-end projects such as restaurants, hotels, resorts, offices, rooftop bars, and especially school parking lots.
Smart Features and Applications
The FlexiiSmart retractable awning is equipped with high-quality tubular motors, suitable for outdoor use and is vibration-resistant. The system can be integrated with sensors that detect vibrations or strong winds for automatic adjustment. The ability to connect to phones and the BMS (Building Management System) brings maximum convenience to users. With the bioclimatic panel system, the awning can be flexibly opened and closed according to needs, helping to limit heat absorption into the interior space, thereby saving air conditioning power. In particular, for school parking lots, this solution can cover an area of up to thousands of square meters, ensuring enough space to accommodate large numbers of vehicles, while enhancing the spaciousness, modernity and convenience of the school's facilities.

Construction Process of Garage Canopy at Lycée Français International Marguerite Duras
FlexiiForm™ is a unit specializing in providing quality carport design and construction ideas, always ready to lead the trend and meet all customer needs. For the project at Lycée Français International Marguerite Duras, the implementation process was carried out methodically:
- Consulting and Surveying: FlexiiForm™ conducts consulting and on-site surveys to gain an objective view, record customer wishes, and from there calculate and propose the most optimal solution, choosing the FlexiiSmart mobile awning system.
- Structural Design and Calculation: After agreeing on the solution, FlexiiForm™'s team of architects and engineers carefully calculates technical parameters such as wind speed, dynamic load, static load for the entire system. This ensures complete tension and high stability for the school canvas canopy.
- Fabrication and Construction: The steel frame system is constructed according to the exact specifications from the design, minimizing the time for editing and welding at the construction site. For this carport roof project, FlexiiForm™ chose PVDF stretch fabric from the famous brand Serge Ferrari (France), processed in Thailand to ensure quality, the ability to create shade, cover and protect vehicles from the impact of Vietnam's climate, meeting the long-term use needs of the school.
