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