What is a retractable awning
A retractable awning is an outdoor solar protection solution, fixed to the facade of a building, that extends horizontally to create shade over a terrace, balcony, or in front of a shop window. It consists of a fabric stretched by articulated arms, allowing it to be rolled up and down as needed. Unlike a parasol, it does not take up ground space, thus freeing the area.
Main features:
- Solar and thermal protection: It effectively protects against the sun's UV rays and reduces heat, both outside and inside the building if placed in front of a bay window.
- Protection against light weather: Although its primary function is solar protection, a retractable awning with water-repellent fabric can also provide shelter from light rain.
- Structure: It is generally made of an aluminum frame (articulated arms, rolling tube, load bar) and a fabric.
- Operation: Opening and closing can be manual (using a crank) or motorized (with a switch or remote control). Motorized models can be equipped with wind or sun sensors for automatic retraction or extension.
- Installation: It is fixed directly to the wall (on the facade) or under a roof overhang (on the ceiling).
Types of retractable awnings:
There are several types of retractable awnings, which mainly differ by the level of protection of the fabric and the mechanism when retracted:
- Monobloc awning (or traditional): The fabric and arms remain visible and exposed to the elements when retracted. This is often the most economical option.
- Semi-cassette awning: The fabric is protected in a cassette when rolled up, but the arms fold underneath and remain visible. It offers a good compromise between protection and cost.
- Full cassette awning: The fabric and arms are completely protected in a closed cassette when the awning is retracted. This is the most aesthetically pleasing solution and ensures the best longevity for the entire system.
Common uses:
Retractable awnings are frequently used to:
- Fit out and protect terraces and balconies of houses and apartments.
- Provide shade for café and restaurant terraces.
- Protect shop windows from the sun.
- Create a comfortable outdoor living space.

Why choose a custom awning?
Unlike standard awnings sold in large stores, a custom awning is designed to fit perfectly to your outdoor configuration. It guarantees an aesthetic, technical, and durable result, without compromise.
A millimeter-perfect adaptation to your facade
Every facade is different: dimensions, materials, orientation, technical constraints… The custom awning takes all these specifics into account to offer a perfect fit, whether it is for a single-family home, an apartment with a terrace, or a business.
A coherent aesthetic
You choose the fabric, the color of the frame, the type of cassette, the shape of the valance... for an awning that harmonizes perfectly with your facade and your joinery. It is an ideal solution to respect the style of your property or the requirements of a planning regulation or condominium.
Better thermal comfort
Custom installation allows for maximum sun protection according to the orientation of your terrace. The inclination, height, and projection of the awning are defined to ensure optimal shade, thus reducing the temperature by several degrees inside your home.
Superior longevity
The materials used (high-density acrylic fabrics, powder-coated aluminum frames, reinforced tension systems) are more durable and better installed, which significantly increases the lifespan of your awning.
