The Cassita II awning is elegant and flexible, with options for LED lights, wind sensors and heaters. The ultra-slim cassette style makes this elegant awning a stylish addition to any home 🏡 .
Key Highlights
- Made to measure and manufactured in Germany

The Weinor Cassita II is a great choice if you commonly have adverse weather conditions in your area as it offers a high level of protection from the wind and other weather conditions. Perfect for when the British weather has a temper tantrum and wind rocks up out of nowhere! 
When the awning is retracted, the fabric and awning arms disappear from view completely. The front rail retracts nicely which makes it inconspicuous and extends the enjoyment you can get from your new outdoor area. Sounds good right?
This particular awning has one more unique feature which you need to hear about – it can be tilted infinitely between 5° and 45° by using a manual tilting device to fully optimise your shading capabilities!
This means that you can still enjoy your outdoor space in the early mornings or early evenings when the sun is at a low altitude and otherwise wouldn’t be blocked.
The Cassita II is available with a large selection of fabrics and colours from the Weinor range – contact us here for more information.
