What is a Half-Cassette Awning?
A half-cassette awning is a type of awning that is surrounded from above by a cassette. The so-called half-cassette protects the fabric and the awning’s construction when not in use and contributes to its durability.

KADECO Semi-Cassette Awnings: Double the Advantages
A semi-cassette awning, also known as a sleeve awning, combines the benefits of an open-arm awning with those of a full cassette awning. Compared to a fully enclosed model, it stands out due to its lighter weight, which makes installation easier.
At the same time, the cassette—closed at the top—protects the awning fabric and arms from the elements. So you don’t have to worry about rain, wind, or hail. Simply retract the awning and the fabric remains protected from the weather.
To ensure a long service life, KADECO uses only high-quality raw materials like aluminum and steel for all its awnings. That’s why models like the semi-cassette awning 210 can withstand even stronger winds.
We are so confident in the quality of our awnings that we offer a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty on our products. Curious? Then have one of our specialist retailers present all the benefits to you and provide detailed advice.
