Are you looking to unlock the full potential of your outdoor area? The Gennius pleated patio system offers a versatile, beautifully simple design that creates extra usable space all year round. Whether you need to shade a residential courtyard or expand outdoor seating for restaurants, hotels, and clubs, this system is the perfect solution.
Because this premium awning is completely retractable, it offers total seasonal flexibility. It provides refreshing sun protection during hot summer days, yet it quickly closes to offer robust weather protection during cold winter months. Furthermore, every system includes a 5-year product hardware warranty for complete peace of mind.
Unlike standard awnings, the Gennius system relies on advanced engineering to handle large spans easily.
Enclosed Belt Drive: This system utilizes a high-strength, carbon steel reinforced drive belt. Because the belt is completely enclosed inside the side guides, it smoothly drives the crossbars inward and outward while remaining protected from debris.
Effortless Control: To ensure optimum performance and perfect fabric tension, this all-weather awning is exclusively motorized. You can control the entire system effortlessly using a sleek, hand-held remote. Please note that manual operation is not available for this heavy-duty system.
Structural Integrity: The system uses a 70mm galvanised roller tube. This tube features a welded seam to provide maximum structural strength across wide spans.
Every property has unique architectural requirements. Therefore, the Gennius system is available in two distinct configurations to suit your building layout:
Gennius A1 Model: This classic design features integrated front support posts, making it perfect for open patios and decks.
Gennius T1 Model: This minimalist design features no front support posts, which allows you to mount it directly between existing structural pillars or walls.
Additionally, you can choose between a Wall Fixed or a Ceiling Top Fixed installation to seamlessly match your building’s roofline.
You do not have to worry about extra costs for basic styling. The base price includes standard Dulux Duralloy or standard Interpon Textura powder-coat colours. This allows you to easily match your existing exterior window frames and trim.
If you want to customize your system further, we offer several optional extras:
Integrated guttering systems for smart rainwater drainage.
Side infills to completely enclose your outdoor room.
A protective hood beam to shelter the fabric skin when retracted.
Extra fabric pleats to achieve your desired aesthetic look.
The Gennius system is exceptionally robust. It easily handles large commercial spaces and withstands extreme weather conditions that would damage standard awnings.
