What Is a Full-Cassette Retractable Awning?

Short answer: A full-cassette retractable awning is a wall-mounted awning that stores both its fabric and folding arms inside an enclosed aluminum housing when retracted.

How a Full-Cassette Awning Works

The fabric and arms extend from the cassette when the awning is opened. When it is retracted, the moving components return to the enclosed housing, helping protect them from direct sun, rain, and dust.

What to Check Before Ordering

• Available wall width and required projection
• Wall material and anchor suitability
• Manual or motorized operation
• Required remote, app, sensor, or backup controls
• Fabric specification and project wind exposure
