    djhblindsandawnings,
    Because of the cantilever effect of the awning I don't think you will find anything will hold successfully in thermalites.

    Thermalite

    There is a great product from fischer called the 'Aircrete anchor' that uses a specially designed drill (PBB) to create an undercut hole which you fill with resin and insert a stud.
    This becomes stronger than the block.
