What's the difference between full, semi and open cassette awnings?

The cassette is the housing that protects the fabric when the awning is retracted.

  • Full cassette — fabric and arms fully enclosed. Best weather protection, longest fabric life.
  • Semi cassette — top and back cover only. Arms visible. Lower cost.
  • Open — no housing, hood or roller exposed. Rare on modern residential jobs.

Aura Plus, Epica and Zenith are all full cassette. See Our Range.
