PREMIUM SUN PROTECTION
More than simple shade.
If you are looking for Weinor awnings, you usually want more than simple shade. You want an awning that looks refined against the house, works smoothly day to day, and gives you a more comfortable way to use the patio, terrace or balcony. Weinor's patio-awning range is built around exactly that, with made-to-measure systems in open, semi-cassette and full-cassette designs.
At Glass House Architecture we help homeowners choose and install selected Weinor awnings as part of a wider outdoor living approach: stylish shade, privacy, weather protection, durable fabrics, integrated lighting and heating, and a design tailored to the property. It is the same high-end result, backed by one of the best known names in premium sun protection.
Shade when you want it, and the sunlight back when you don't.

Retractable Awnings
Weinor's folding-arm awnings range from the classic Opal and Topas to the purist Cassita and cubic Kubata, with the N2000 covering widths where maximum shade matters. Every awning is made to measure, with cassette housings that protect the fabric when retracted and a choice of over 150 fabrics. Sun, wind and rain sensors extend or retract the awning automatically, so the patio looks after itself.
Vertical Awnings
The VertiTex II drops a taut textile screen across windows, glazed gables and the open sides of patio roofs, cutting glare and low sun without blocking the view out. Its slim cassette stays discreet even at widths up to six metres, in round or square profiles to suit the architecture. For side-on privacy and wind protection at seating height, the pull-out Paravento side awning completes the range.
Conservatory Awnings
Two approaches to shading glass roofs: the Sottezza II mounts beneath the glazing, sheltered from the weather, with taut fabric and optional integrated LED lighting; the WGM Top sits above it, intercepting the sun before it ever heats the glass. Both keep conservatories and glass rooms comfortable through summer while letting soft, glare-free light through, using weather sensing technology.

AUTOMATIC WEATHER CONTROL
An awning that watches the sky for you.
South and west-facing patios heat up fast, and you cannot always be there to extend the shade in time. Weinor's BiSens weather sensors handle it for you. A sun sensor extends the awning when the light reaches a set intensity; wind and rain sensors retract it again the moment conditions turn. A dedicated product protection sensor goes further still, pulling the awning in when it detects vibration from gusts. Depending on the version, sensors run from a power connection, battery or solar cell.
At Glass House Architecture we specify weather sensors as part of the awning design rather than an afterthought, matched to the aspect and exposure of your patio. The result is shade that appears when the sun demands it and an awning that protects itself in rough weather — whether you are home or not. It is one of the details that separates a properly planned Weinor installation from an off-the-shelf one.
The shade arrives before you think to ask for it.

FAQ
Weinor awning questions, answered
A few of the things homeowners ask us most often. Anything else, just ask.
What is a Weinor awning?
A Weinor awning is a made-to-measure patio awning from Weinor's sun-protection range, available in open, semi-cassette and full-cassette designs for patios and balconies.
Are Weinor awnings made to measure?
Yes. Weinor patio awnings are planned for the intended location rather than offered in one standard size, with exact width and projection choices.
Can a Weinor awning be motorised?
Yes. All semi and full-cassette awnings can be electrically operated. Depending on the setup, an awning can be operated manually or electrically.
Can you use a Weinor awning in the rain?
Weinor patio awnings are primarily sun protection. The advice is to retract them in rain, then reopen afterwards so any damp fabric can dry. We can fit weather sensors to retract the awning automatically in rain or wind.
What's the difference between open, semi and full-cassette awnings?
The main difference is how enclosed and protected the awning is when retracted. A full-cassette design fully encloses the fabric and arms for the neatest, most protected finish.
