What is the difference between an open awning, semi cassette and full cassette awning and what style of awning will best suit my property?
With open awnings, the mechanisms and rollers remain exposed, although a protective top cover can be incorporated for piece of mind. The design of semi-cassette awnings provides protection against the weather to the roller and mechanism, both from above and below. The underside of the semi-cassette awning is open, because the all-round protection guaranteed by a cassette awning is not a necessity in every situation. Full cassette awnings style provides the perfect protection for the roller, cover and the complete arm system – because they are all stored in a closed cassette. When retracted, the moving arm part closes and seals the cassette: meaning that foul weather, wind and dirt cannot penetrate. Roché will offer advice on product suitability catering for both design and budgetary restraints.
