Retractable Awnings

Our Awnings

Discover our versatile range of awnings, thoughtfully designed to suit a wide variety of outdoor needs, from shading a roof window, to creating a private retreat, or adding extra comfort to the garden with additional sun protection, we have all the solutions.

Cassette Awning

Cassette awnings provide reliable shade when extended, and their standout feature is the protective cassette casing. When retracted, the fabric and arms neatly fold away into the cassette, shielding the components from rain and snow.

This design makes cassette awnings a durable and low-maintenance option, especially well-suited to areas exposed to harsher weather conditions.

Choose from 5 cassette styles
Optional add-ons available, including rain cover and drop-down front valance (volant)
Built with weather-resistant aluminium and steel for long-term performance

Open Arm Awning

Open arm awnings are a compact, functional shading option, ideal for mounting beneath eaves or overhangs to extend coverage without taking up much space.

In this design, the folding arms and fabric remain exposed when the awning is retracted, making it important to consider a protective rain cover in more exposed or weather-prone locations.

Available in 3 practical open arm designs
Optional rain cover and adjustable front valance (vario valance) available
Constructed with durable, weather-resistant aluminium and steel

Sleeve Awning

Sleeve awnings offer an efficient way to extend shade and improve rain protection, with a fabric roll that can drop down like a valance for additional coverage. This makes them a great choice for balconies and terraces, particularly where low-angle sunlight is an issue.

When retracted, only the folding arms remain visible, without affecting the overall function or durability of the awning.

Weather-resistant aluminium and steel construction
Optional adjustable valance (vario-valance) available

Pergola Awning

Pergola awnings are a stable, high-performance shading solution supported by fixed posts and guided by side rails. The fabric extends and retracts along the rails, making it ideal for both small courtyards and large commercial spaces.

Thanks to their anchored structure, pergola awnings offer excellent wind resistance and can be paired with vertical or side awnings for greater protection from sun, wind, or rain.

Optional vertical and side awnings available for added coverage

Conservatory Roof Awning

Conservatory roof awnings are purpose-built for shading glazed structures such as skylights, roof lanterns, conservatories, and glass verandas. These awnings can be mounted above or below the glass and include a cassette that fully encloses the fabric when retracted.

Optional add-ons include integrated lighting and heated steel elements

Side Awning

Side awnings are a practical solution for enhancing privacy, blocking wind, or defining outdoor areas such as patios, terraces, and balconies.

Easy to operate with a single motion, these awnings retract neatly when not in use and can be installed at various heights, making them suitable for both residential and commercial settings.
