Open Cassette Awnings
With an open cassette awning, 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.

The Erhardt S is an open cassette awning designed for balconies or terraces. A minimalist and nimble aesthetic hides the strong and sturdy nature of the S, made by German giant Erhardt Markisen.
An optional rain cover helps to protect the awning against harsher weather, and this makes it an open cassette awning which is far more flexible than many others.
Valances, infrared heaters, wind sensors and remote controls are all available with the Erhardt S. |

The Markilux 930 swing adapts ideally to all conditions. It is small, delicate and elegant, suited for installation under overhanging roofs, where additional protection of cover and mechanics is not required.
An intelligent pivoting mechanism lends it a particularly compact and flat appearance when closed. While when extended, the awning remains horizontal and then pivots into the individually pre-set pitch. The windlock mechanism prevents the awning from flipping up in windy conditions. |
