The Calnova sits between an open awning and a fully enclosed cassette, offering the advantages of a semi-cassette design. When retracted, the fabric is enclosed and protected within the housing, while the arms remain accessible for inspection and maintenance.
Its heavy-duty steel back bar and patented tipping system make the Calnova particularly suitable for larger installations and commercial applications. It can be used on shopfronts, cafés, restaurants and patios where robust construction, reliable operation and a clean appearance are important.
A semi-cassette encloses and protects the fabric when the awning is retracted, while leaving the folding arms partially accessible. It provides a balance between the protection of a cassette and the accessibility of an open system.
The Arezzo is an open-style awning, whereas the Calnova protects the fabric inside a semi-cassette when closed. The Calnova is therefore particularly useful where greater protection from the elements is required.
