What Are The Options Available For Folding Arm Awnings?

There are three main options available for folding standard semi cassette and full cassette. When we talk about the different options we are referring to when they are retracted back into the wall. It is about the type of protection that the awning as when it is fully compacted back and retracted.

Standard or Open Cassette

The standard option also known as an open cassette is a good choice when you don't need to protect against the elements. This option is the most affordable option obviously due to the lack of extra construction involved. They are a good choice when there is an overhang or where there is some other type of protection against the environment.

Semi Cassette

This type of awning has a casing that protects only the top area. It helps protect against rain because of the casing. The lack of under casing can be an issue because water can still get inside and cause damage. This is why it is called a semi cassette. 

Full Cassette

This refers to the casing that the awning is packed into when retracted and the amount of protection there is. With a full cassette folding arm awning, the awning is completely protected from the weather and possible water and rain damage. This is the most expensive option for obvious reasons. 

It is important to note that choosing the right folding arm awning is important because you don't want to destroy the awning due to deciding on the wrong type of awning. It is best to consult a blinds expert to ensure that the best possible option is chosen for your home.
