What changes between the systems? The main difference is how much of the fabric and mechanism is enclosed when the awning retracts. Open systems are simpler and lower cost; semi-cassette and full-cassette systems progressively increase protection and give a cleaner closed appearance.

Product information

A made-to-measure retractable patio awning designed to provide external solar shading over terraces, patios and outdoor seating areas. Each awning is configured to the required overall width and one of the available standard projections, with a choice of frame finish, fabric and operation.

Main benefits include adjustable shade, a made-to-measure fit, manual or motorised operation, and optional automation/accessories where compatible.

Use: patio awnings are retractable sun-shading products, not permanent roofs. They should be retracted in unsuitable weather and are not intended to provide permanent weather protection.

The range includes four wall-mounted awning formats: an open / no-cassette awning, a semi-cassette awning, a full cassette awning and a square full-cassette awning. Open systems leave more of the mechanism exposed when retracted; cassette systems provide progressively greater enclosure and a cleaner closed appearance.

Depending on the selected system and size, operation may be manual, Icarus radio motor or Somfy io. Compatible options can include wind/sun sensors, smart control, integrated warm-white dimmable LED lighting and a 2500W infrared patio heater. Fabric and frame-colour availability remains controlled by the selected system.

Check the relevant Paragon guide before ordering. Made-to-measure awnings depend on accurate dimensions and suitable fixing conditions. Do not apply your own deductions or allowances unless the Paragon guide specifically instructs you to do so.

Measurement basis: the configurator uses the required overall awning width and one of the available standard projections. The supplied installation manuals state that the installation area should provide the awning width plus 50 mm clearance on each side. Fixing selection depends on the actual wall/substrate; do not invent deductions or assume standard fixings are suitable.

Where the installation involves unusual substrates, restricted access, ceiling mounting, extended brackets or other non-standard fixing conditions, submit the configuration for Paragon review before ordering.

Standard UK carriage & handling: £120 inc VAT per standard order/consignment. This covers bringing the made-to-measure product into the UK and associated handling. Collection from our Essex storage facility can be arranged by prior agreement, but this charge still applies because the goods first need transporting into the UK.

For awnings over 3800 mm overall width, specialist carriage is individually calculated. If specialist delivery is arranged and the customer is unavailable, access is unsuitable or delivery cannot be completed as agreed, additional carrier charges may apply.

Specialist-carriage threshold: over 3800 mm overall awning width. Estimated lead time: approximately 3–4 weeks. This is an estimate only and is not a guaranteed delivery date.
