Shade for terraces and shop fronts, with no posts
A folding-arm awning is fixed to the wall and its fabric opens horizontally, supported by jointed arms, with no posts on the ground. It is the most popular solution for terraces, deep balconies, shop fronts and restaurant patios: it gives shade where you need it and leaves the space below free.
Models
- Full cassette: when closed, the fabric is protected from rain and dirt and lasts longer.
- Semi-cassette or open: simpler, for balconies covered by a roof or overhang.
- Motorised with wind sensor: it closes by itself when the wind picks up. We always recommend it in exposed locations.
Fabrics
Solution-dyed acrylics, which keep their colour in the sun, or technical and coated fabrics for businesses. We bring samples so you can see them against your façade.
How to choose
Width, projection and wind are what matter. If you want to cover the whole terrace, also consider pergolas and bioclimatic pergolas.
Frequently asked questions
Should it be closed in the wind?
Yes: an open folding-arm awning acts like a sail. The wind sensor closes it automatically when the wind exceeds the set threshold.
Can you print a logo on it?
Yes, name and logo can be printed on the fabric or valance, which is ideal for bars, restaurants and shops.
Do you replace just the fabric?
Yes, if the arms and roller are in good condition.

Features
SHADE WHEN YOU NEED IT
It opens in the hottest hours and closes in a few seconds, by hand or by motor, so you have sun or shade when you want.
NO POSTS ON THE GROUND
The arms hold the fabric from the wall: the space below stays free for tables, chairs and people walking by, even on the pavement in front of a shop.
FABRIC PROTECTED IN THE CASSETTE
When closed, the cassette protects the fabric from rain, smog and leaves: it stays clean and lasts many more seasons.
