The full cassette
Closed,
it disappears into its cassette.
Retracted, the awning folds away entirely into its cassette: fabric and arms are sheltered from rain, dust and sun, and the façade stays clean. With the LED option, a thin line of light underlines the cassette.
The fabric — Sauleda Masacril
Sauleda fabric,
made in Spain.
Our awnings come with Masacril fabric from the Spanish manufacturer Sauleda: a 100% solution-dyed acrylic. The colour is in the fibre, not on the surface — which is why it holds up well outdoors.

How to get the best out of it
Wind: retract it
An awning is extended in calm weather and retracted as soon as the wind picks up. During a strong-wind or hurricane warning it stays closed: the full cassette then protects the fabric and arms.
Rain: the gutter helps
The front bar has a built-in gutter that channels the water of a passing shower. After rain, let the fabric dry before closing the cassette.
Orientation: face west
An awning does the most on a west- or south-west-facing terrace: it cuts the low afternoon sun, right when you live outdoors.
Installation: a solid wall
The awning is fixed to a wall, lintel or roof overhang able to take its loads. The site visit checks the support and the fixing height before the final quote.
