The retracted front rail and the awning top enclose/envelop the fabric and mechanism of semi-cassette awnings. This means that the awning is better protected than an open one.

Compact awnings do not have a protective cassette. They are particularly suitable for locations under wall projections, overhanging roofs or balcony ceilings which protect the retracted awning from the elements.

Drop Arm awnings protect indoor rooms, balconies and also conservatories from intensive glare and the sun's rays. On hot days they not only provide protection from sauna-like temperatures, but they also protect the floor and furniture from bleaching.

Outdoor awnings always provide shade where you need movable protection from the sun – be it in the garden or on the patio.
