- Cassette awning – balcony awning
Full cassette awnings seal the awning fabric, arms and roller mechanism inside to protect them from the weather.

As well as protecting the awning, it is a smart, tidy option. This modern cassette awning includes padded rollers that reduce wear and protect the fabric from the elements, with a stainless steel finish and end plates covering both ends for a refined look.
