Open Cassette Awnings
Non Cassette awnings explained
Basically there is no casing at all around the retracted awning. The fabric is rolled up and the arms are retracted and it is all totally exposed. Due to this lack of protection the most suitable positions to install an open awning would be under large overhang areas such as soffits or eaves. This will then afford some protection against inclement weather conditions.
There are essentially two reasons that would determine the purchase of an open awning – the first being the need for the extension of the awning to be greater than the width, the second is economy. When the requirement is for the awning extension to be greater than the awning width then the necessary construction renders this awning not able to be cassetted.

Designed in a seamless fashion, this awning is available with a transparent glass coverboard to offer protection to the operating mechanism and the awning material to maximise its lifespan.

The circular design of the awning components is very pleasing on the eye, and this is further complemented by the choice of framework colour designs.

Markilux 1100
The Markilux 1100 is an open cassette awning which has proved to be a real asset with customers installing the awning as covers for balconies, patios, decking areas or spaces to entertain guests.
This awning is suitable for both ceiling and wall mounting and maintains its strength qualities due to its fantastically durable oval-shaped folding arms.
This awning is also available with ShadePlus, a drop down valance system. ShadePlus helps block out light from low lying sun and also keeps out prying eyes!
