Aintree Awning
Compact cassette awning for balconies and small patios
The Aintree Awning from Rolux is a sleek and compact cassette patio awning designed to provide stylish shade for smaller outdoor spaces.
Perfect for balconies, terraces and modest patio areas, the Aintree combines modern styling with reliable shading performance. Its fully enclosed cassette protects the fabric and mechanism when the awning is closed, helping extend the lifespan of the system while maintaining a neat appearance on your property.
With manual or motorised operation options and a wide choice of fabrics, the Aintree Awning is a practical and elegant shading solution for modern homes.
Compact shade for patios and balconies
The Aintree Awning is designed for spaces where a large awning may not be practical.
Its slim cassette and streamlined construction allow it to sit neatly against the wall when closed, keeping the fabric protected from rain, dirt and general weather exposure.
Ideal for balconies, smaller patios and garden seating areas, the Aintree provides comfortable shade while maintaining a clean architectural appearance.
Fully enclosed cassette
The fabric and folding arms retract neatly into a compact aluminium cassette, protecting them from the weather when not in use.
Adjustable pitch
The awning angle can be adjusted during installation to provide optimal shade and sun protection throughout the day.
Designed for smaller spaces
The Aintree Awning is specifically designed for compact patios, balconies and terraces where a discreet shading solution is needed.
Quick two-bracket installation
The system mounts with brackets at each end, allowing straightforward installation on walls or ceilings.
Manual or motorised operation
Choose traditional crank operation or upgrade to a motorised system for convenient control.
Durable aluminium construction
Powder-coated aluminium components and stainless steel fittings ensure long-lasting durability and reliability.
