Weinor Cassita II | The All Rounder
Elegant | High-Performance | Modern | Award Winning
Weinor Cassita II – a slim, award‑winning full cassette awning designed for modern patios, terraces and balconies.
The Cassita II uses an ultra‑flat, oval full cassette that sits neatly against the wall, fully enclosing the fabric and arms to protect them from weather and dirt and to keep the façade looking clean.
Key benefits at a glance
- Ultra‑slim cassette keeps the awning discreet when closed and fully shields the fabric and mechanism from weather and dirt, helping maintain its appearance over many years.
- Made to measure up to 5.5 m wide x 3.0 m projection, ideal for most UK patios, balconies and terraces that need generous shade without a bulky structure.
- Motorised operation as standard for smooth, effortless extension and retraction, with a manual gear option where power isn’t available.
- Flexible pitch adjustment allows the installer to set the angle to give headroom over doors while precisely blocking low evening sun.
- High wind resistance (wind class 2) for secure, stable performance in typical UK breezy conditions when installed and used correctly.
- Award‑winning design with international design prizes, positioning it as a genuine “gem amongst cassette awnings” for modern homes.
- Very wide choice of fabric patterns and frame colours so you can coordinate the awning perfectly with your architecture and outdoor furniture.
- Optional Cassita II LED design bar and Tempura heaters extend your use of the terrace long into cooler evenings with warm‑white lighting and instant infrared heat.

What Our Customers Say
Samson Awnings and Weinor partnership
Samson Awnings has been working closely with Weinor since 2007 and is a long‑established preferred specialist for their products in the UK.
Over this time Samson has supplied and installed large numbers of Cassita II awnings alongside other Weinor models, building deep practical knowledge of how these systems perform on real homes and commercial sites.
That experience covers the whole process, from initial survey and bracket design through to commissioning motors, integrating controls and adding accessories such as LED lighting, heaters and weather sensors.
Because of the long partnership with the manufacturer, Samson customers benefit from direct access to the latest Weinor innovations, guidance that reflects factory recommendations, and reliable after‑sales support backed by a team that understands both the products and Weinor’s service processes.
Choosing Samson for a Cassita II installation combines German‑engineered hardware with a UK specialist that has been specifying, installing and supporting Weinor awnings for well over a decade.
Weinor products are developed, designed and produced exclusively in Germany, using high‑quality materials and strict, ISO‑certified quality controls at their German manufacturing sites. Every Cassita II awning is made to measure, rather than mass‑produced, and supplied with a certificate of authenticity to confirm you are getting genuine Weinor quality. This combination of German engineering, in‑house powder coating and premium fabric technology is a key reason Cassita II delivers such long‑lasting performance and appearance on UK homes
Controls, Lighting and heating in use
In everyday use, the standard motorisation and radio control make operating the Cassita II as simple as pressing a button, and where specified, the same handset or control system can manage the integrated LED bar and heaters as well.
Optional sun, wind and rain sensors can take over routine control, extending the awning automatically in strong sun and retracting it if the wind picks up or poor weather arrives, helping to protect the product and your outdoor furniture while you are away from home.
The Cassita II LED option adds a slim, colour‑matched LED design bar directly to the cassette, providing warm‑white, dimmable light over the seating area without the need for separate wall lights, while compact infrared heaters deliver instant warmth so you can comfortably use the space in spring and autumn as well as on summer evenings.
Comfort, design and suitability
Beyond the spec sheet, the Cassita II is designed to be as attractive as it is practical, with its flat, oval cassette line and hidden fixings giving a very architectural appearance that works particularly well on contemporary extensions and modern façades.
Because it is a full cassette awning, the fabric and folding arms retract completely into the housing when not in use, protecting the material from rain, dust and bird fouling and helping maintain tight fabric tension and a neat appearance over time.
The combination of strong UV protection, generous shaded area and the option for integrated LED lighting and heaters means the awning functions as a genuine outdoor living solution, making adjacent indoor rooms cooler, reducing glare and protecting flooring and furniture from fading.
Cassita II is particularly suitable if you have a small to medium patio, terrace or balcony, want a very slim cassette that does not dominate the façade, and prefer a clean, contemporary look with minimal visible bracketry.
It also suits properties with limited mounting height above doors or large glazing, because the shallow cassette depth and flexible pitch adjustment give installers more options to achieve the right combination of shade and headroom.
For very exposed locations or very large areas, Samson Awnings can advise on alternative Weinor awnings or patio roof systems that are designed for higher wind classes or bigger spans, ensuring you still benefit from the same level of engineering and finish.
