Retractable Awnings — Motorized & Manual Cassette and Folding-Arm Systems
Factory-direct retractable cassette and folding-arm awnings, engineered and OEM-built for cafes, restaurants, hotels and commercial facades worldwide.
Request a Quote & Catalog →Retractable awnings are the workhorse of commercial outdoor shade — extending solution-dyed fabric over terraces, shopfronts and balconies on demand, then folding back to protect the textile and the facade. As a factory-direct manufacturer (Hebei Charlotte, established 2004), Awnova builds full-cassette, semi-cassette and open folding-arm systems in-house across 10 production lines, which lets importers and distributors order to spec, control margin, and skip the trading-house markup. Every order is fully OEM/ODM: your branding, fabric, frame finish and motor package, backed by ISO 9001 production and independent SGS testing.
Why buy retractable awnings direct from the manufacturer
A retractable awning is a sun-and-rain interface that runs thousands of open-close cycles a year, so the failure points are mechanical: arm tension, motor torque, fabric tracking and frame rigidity. Buying from the factory that extrudes the aluminium and assembles the arms — rather than a reseller — means you get traceable material specs, consistent tolerances, and a supplier accountable for the whole unit, not just a box of parts.
For importers and distributors, factory-direct also means commercial flexibility: real OEM/ODM (your logo, your colour cards, your motor brand), realistic MOQs, and pricing that leaves room for your own channel margin. With 90%+ of output exported and FOB/CIF shipping handled in-house, lead times and logistics stay predictable across container loads.
Retractable awnings rarely ship alone. We build a matched commercial-shade range, so the same project can specify motorized pergolas for fixed terraces and outdoor roller blinds for vertical wind-screening — all from one accountable manufacturer.
Engineered to specification
Solution-dyed acrylic & PVC fabrics
Choose 280–300 gsm solution-dyed acrylic for colorfast, breathable shade or PVC-coated polyester for fully waterproof, wipe-clean commercial use.
Extruded aluminium frame
6063-T5 extruded aluminium arms and cassettes with marine-grade powder coating resist corrosion and hold tension over years of daily cycling.
Somfy/Becker-compatible motorization
Tubular motors compatible with Somfy and Becker control systems, with RTS/io remotes, wall switches, and optional sun-and-wind sensors for automatic retraction.
Full, semi & open cassette options
Full-cassette designs fully enclose and protect the fabric and arms when retracted; semi-cassette and open folding-arm versions optimise cost for sheltered installs.
Independently tested durability
Frames and fabrics undergo independent SGS testing, with TÜV and CE conformity, plus EN 13561 wind-class evaluation for external blinds and awnings.
Full OEM/ODM production
Private-label branding, custom RAL frame finishes, bespoke valances and your specified motor and control package, all built in-house to your drawings.
