Full Cassette Awning

Outdoor awnings are more than just functional — they add aesthetics, value and comfort to your home. With Vionta, you can customise your awnings in various of combinations to create a premium awning that’s truly one of a kind.

What Is a Full Cassette Awning?

A full cassette awning (also called a box cassette or enclosed cassette awning) is a retractable awning in which the entire mechanism — fabric, roller tube, and folding arms — disappears completely inside a sealed aluminum housing when not in use. Unlike open cassette awnings where the components remain exposed, or semi cassette awnings that offer partial coverage, full cassette models provide the highest level of protection and the cleanest aesthetic profile when retracted.

Full cassette awnings offer the most comprehensive protection. When retracted, the awning’s fabric and mechanism are entirely enclosed within the cassette. This type of cassette protects your awning from rain, snow, dust and UV rays, ensuring maximum longevity. It has a sleek, modern appearance, making it a popular choice for those seeking both functionality and aesthetics.

Full Cassette Awnings from Vionta offer complete protection for the fabric and mechanical components, ensuring durability, style, and long-term performance for patios, terraces, and balconies. As a professional China manufacturer and factory, Vionta specializes in high-quality full cassette awning systems for both residential and commercial projects.

Why Choose Vionta's Full Cassette Awning?

All of Vionta's full cassette awnings combine superior build quality with contemporary design at competitive factory-direct pricing. The rigid aluminum housing completely encloses the awning when retracted, protecting your fabric investment from rain, UV, dust, and bird droppings — significantly extending its service life compared to open or semi cassette models.

The forged aluminum arms open and close smoothly using the hand-crank winder on the left side. You can extend the awning to any degree up to its maximum projection, and the adjustable tilt mechanism lets you fine-tune the shade angle from near-horizontal to approximately 30 degrees. The integrated front-bar gutter efficiently channels rainwater away even when the awning is deployed.

These are the strongest awnings in our range — the fully enclosed cassette adds structural rigidity and ensures consistent appearance year after year with minimal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a full cassette and an open cassette awning?

A full cassette awning encloses all components — fabric, roller, and arms — inside a sealed aluminum box when retracted, offering maximum weather protection and the cleanest appearance. An open cassette leaves everything exposed when retracted, making it more affordable and better suited to projections longer than the awning width. See our open cassette awning page for a direct comparison.

Can the awning tilt angle be adjusted after installation?

Yes. The forged aluminum arms allow up to 35 degrees of angle adjustment, and the awning pitch can be set anywhere from near-horizontal to approximately 30 degrees. This lets you optimize shade coverage for different sun angles throughout the day.

Does Vionta support OEM orders with custom branding?

Yes. We offer full OEM and ODM services including custom frame colors (RAL powder coat), fabric selection, private labeling, and export packaging. Please contact our sales team with your project specifications for a wholesale pricing schedule.
