When referring to a cassette awning, the term is usually understood to mean a full cassette awning. A full cassette awning is especially the right choice if your shade awning is mounted on the wall, for example, and does not enjoy the additional protection of a roof. In this type of awning, the fabric and the entire articulated arm mechanism are stored retracted in a cassette that is closed on all sides. In this way, the awning fabric and the mechanism are perfectly protected from rain and dust when the awning is not in use.
In addition to full cassette awnings, there are semi-cassette awnings. This type of cassette awning has a partially closed cassette, but is open at the bottom. In this way, the awning is protected from above, so that direct rain, snow, dirt and other similar environmental influences are intercepted from above.
Functionality of cassette awnings
markilux cassette awnings have been designed as sun protection. They provide shade on terraces, balconies, rooftops or open spaces. In case of light rain, cassette awnings are suitable as terrace covers. A protected space is created under the stretch awning fabric. In addition to protection against ultraviolet rays and rain, the extended awning fabric also stores the heat of the day at night.
In addition to the original sun protection function, cassette awnings can be extended with various options that bring positive advantages to the user.
Installation of cassette awnings
Different types of buildings and locations require different mounting options for cassette awnings. That’s why you can choose how to mount your awning. Mount your awning on the wall. In this way, the awning will become the center of attention of the facade. Do you prefer it discreet? Then let the awning disappear into a niche when it is retracted. The awning integrates perfectly into the architectural environment of the house.
Some awning models are not directly connected to the facade due to their special shape. To close the gap between the wall and the awning, we offer the possibility of placing a Wall connection profile above the cassette. In this way, the rain is drained through the awning and the water is prevented from dripping through the gap onto your terrace.
