If you’re looking for an effective way to enhance the comfort of your terrace, an awning might be the perfect solution. However, before you decide to purchase one, it’s important to understand exactly what a terrace awning is and the purposes it serves.

What is a Terrace Awning?

A terrace awning is a high-tech device installed over a terrace or balcony, designed primarily to protect against the sun and unfavorable weather conditions. It consists of a supporting structure and a durable, UV-resistant covering material, often made of acrylic. The supporting structure is typically made of aluminum or steel, providing adequate strength and stability.

They can be controlled manually with a crank or automatically with an electric motor, which further enhances their functionality.

Which awning to choose for your terrace?

Choosing the right awning for your terrace is crucial for maximizing comfort and enjoyment of your outdoor space. A terrace awning not only provides shade and protection from the sun but also serves as a decorative element that can enhance the character of your terrace. Here’s what to consider when selecting the perfect awning for you.

Terrace awning types

  • Free-Cassette Awning – These awnings are characterized by the absence of a cover for the rolled fabric. They are simpler in construction and usually less expensive, making them ideal if your terrace is sheltered by a roof or other structures that naturally protect the awning from the weather.

An excellent example of a cassette-free awning is Nordic SQ. This stylish open-profile awning features a minimalist design and a unique semicircular front beam, harmonizing with any home style. Its solid construction and well-thought-out design allow for installation in small areas, making it perfect for both single-family homes and public buildings. Optional features include a top roof for rain protection and the R-PITCH function for easy angle adjustment, enhancing its versatility and convenience.

  • Half-Cassette Awning – These awnings have a cassette that protects the fabric and mechanism from rain, snow, and dirt, helping the fabric retain its aesthetic and functional qualities longer. This type is ideal for walls exposed to harsh weather conditions and adds an aesthetic touch to the façade.

Nordic Design exemplifies a cassette awning that looks fantastic on any property façade. It offers remarkable functionality and ease of use. Stylish and practical, it can be equipped with a front vario-volant for additional coverage or even used as a projector for cozy evening movie sessions on your terrace.

  • Full-Cassette Awning – This model fully encloses the fabric and awning arms in a cassette, leaving only an aesthetic rectangular cassette on your façade. It is a solid and beautiful solution that adds a luxurious touch to your terrace.

Nordic Legend is the king of full-cassette awnings. It’s perfect if you seek a robust and strong awning with a luxurious, stylish design. Equipped with LED lights for extra coziness, it is available only with automatic control. However, the ease of use with comfortable remote controllers and weather sensors will win your heart.

Terrace awning – control options

  • Manual Drive – Durable manual drive components ensure easy and effortless retraction and extension of the awning. This is a cost-effective solution that still offers a user-friendly control. You can choose from different lengths of control cranks to ensure comfortable use.
  • Electric Drive – This type of drive offers the ultimate comfort. The extension and retraction of the awning are done quickly and quietly using a remote controller, wall switch, or mobile app. Additionally, the electric drive can be equipped with weather sensors to protect the awning during heavy wind or rain. Integration with smart home systems allows you to control the awning from anywhere in the world.
  • Electric Drive with Emergency Crank – This two-in-one solution combines the best features of both manual and automatic drives. You can enjoy the ease and comfort of control via remote controller or app, while still having the option to manually operate the awning with a crank in case of a power outage or similar emergency.

Terrace awning – mounting options

  • Mounting to roof rafters – This method requires a rafter bracket bolted to a wall bracket. It is ideal if you have a roofed terrace, balcony, or other situations where mounting to a wall or directly to the ceiling is not possible.
  • Mounting to the wall – This is the most standard mounting method, ensuring stability and durability. It uses wall brackets that attach directly to the building’s wall.
  • Mounting to the ceiling – This option allows the installation of the awning under a ceiling or balcony. Bolted ceiling brackets with a wall bracket ensure both stability and aesthetics.

Terrace awning – types of valances

  • Straight finish – This style is ideal for uniform covers and is often used in commercial applications as an advertising surface.
  • Decorative waved valance – This option gives the awning a classic look, pairing especially well with patterned fabrics. It adds a touch of lightness and a mediterranean feel.

The standard length of a valance is 150 mm; however, you can customize it to suit your needs and design preferences.
