Are you looking to protect your home or business from intense solar heat? The Italia drop arm awning offers a sophisticated way to shade windows, glass atriums, and conservatories. This premium system comes in two distinct configurations, allowing you to choose the exact level of protection and style you need.
Whether you choose the sleek full-cassette model or the streamlined open version, this awning series combines smooth performance with timeless European design. To guarantee long-term reliability, every unit comes backed by a 5-year product hardware warranty.

Every property has unique architectural requirements. Therefore, we offer this versatile drop arm system in two functional styles:
This beautifully styled option offers the ultimate protection for your investment. It uses heavy-duty, spring-loaded arms to guide the fabric smoothly back into a fully enclosed cassette box.
As the awning closes, the sculptured bottom rail fits snugly into the top head-box. Consequently, it forms a completely weather-proof enclosure that shields your fabric from rain, dirt, and debris.
Premium Protection: Completely encloses the fabric skin when retracted.
Sleek Architecture: Features a unique, fully closing extruded aluminium bottom rail.
Robust Framework: Built with powder-coated aluminium brackets, head-boxes, and arms.
If you plan to mount your shade system directly under deep eaves or within recessed window spaces, the open-style model is the ideal choice. This economical, stripped-back version delivers the exact same heavy-duty performance without the extra bulk of a full enclosure.
Compact Styling: Features an elegant oval bottom rail and a lighter profile.
Versatile Mounting: Fits easily into tight structural spaces where a full cassette head-box might not fit.
Enduring Quality: Uses the identical heavy-duty, spring-loaded arms as the premium cassette version.
Both models are engineered to be exceptionally durable, quick to install, and highly resistant to breezy conditions.
