What is a Retractable Patio Awning?
A retractable patio awning has two or more movable metal arms that can manually or automatically extend and retract the fabric cover to provide desired area of sun protection.
What Makes Elite Cassette Our Premium Retractable Product?
When you purchase an Elite Cassette, you’re choosing a fully protected awning you’ll never have to worry about. That’s the bottom line: performance plus enhanced durability.
Enclosed in a powder-coated, extruded aluminum housing, the stylish cassette construction is designed to provide additional protection when your awning is retracted for long periods of time (e.g., off season).
Its two-part, aluminum enclosure surrounds and protects the roller tube and fabric, keeping dirt and debris out of the system, to ensure smooth operation and product longevity
Our unique ‘shoulder-tilting’ mechanism ensures a flush, even enclosure–when the awning is retracting, before it arrives at the roller tube, it moves the arm to true horizontal position, allowing a perfect coupling of the front bar with the cassette housing, forming a tight protective seal.
An outdoor awning from our collection not only enhances your home’s aesthetic but also provides significant energy savings. Take advantage of our awning sales to upgrade your outdoor space with our Elite Cassette retractable awnings at an exceptional value.

Many Optional Features Are Available
- Wind Sensors: High winds can potentially tear your awnings from your home if they’re fully extended. Installing wind sensors can help you avoid this issue; these sensors will automatically detect high winds and retract your awnings for you, helping you to avoid potential damage.
- Sun/Wind Sensors: These combined sensors can be incredibly beneficial. Not only will these sensors detect strong winds, but they can also detect changes in sunlight, allowing them to extend or retract your awnings for the perfect shade at any time of day.
- Timers: Timers can add convenience to your residential awnings. This useful technology will allow you to set your retractable awnings to extend or retract at specific times, allowing you to avoid the hassle of trying to manually control your system.
- Remote Control Systems: Our remote control systems can provide you with a simple, effective way to control your awnings. Simply press a button to extend or retract them and avoid the hassle of trying to manually work your awnings.
- Variable Valance: This is, essentially, a valance that’s attached to your awning and can be rolled down to provide additional shade. It’s the perfect way to help you add some additional protection to your property. See More
