Full Cassette, or "Box" awnings are the type that completely enclose all fabric and support arms from view when completely retracted. They provide complete protection from snow, rain, dust and possible damage from rodents' or birds' nesting habits. There is no visible fabric valence (front flap) that is common on other retractable awning styles, thus giving them a sleeker, and hardly noticeable look, especially on modern homes. The hidden fabric color can give quite a contrast or match to the surrounding decor or outdoor furniture when projected out. Tibelly and Sunbrella fabric patterns available on all models with limited warranties up to 10 years against premature fading. A modern upgrade and complement to any home!
