Why choose Monobloc awning?
A closure designed around your needs
The survey checks the substrate, exposure, available space, required projection, fabric choice and operating compatibility before the quotation.
What makes this model different
- Compact design without a cassette
- Suited to sheltered positions
- Direct access to the mechanism
- Crank or motorisation depending on model
- Made-to-measure configuration after survey
This model is right for you if
Choose the monobloc for a sheltered installation where simplicity, compactness and budget take priority.
- Balconies and small terraces
- Installation beneath a slab, overhang or canopy
- Less exposed facades
- Projects with a controlled budget
Consider another solution if
Compare a semi-cassette or full-cassette awning if the retracted awning remains exposed to dirt and weather.
Security designed for its use
The selected external awning must be documented for its configuration and installed on a compatible substrate. Wind class and operating limits belong to the selected reference, not to monobloc awnings as a whole.

Frequently asked questions about Monobloc awning
What is a monobloc awning?
It is an external awning without a cassette: the fabric, roller tube and arms remain visible when retracted.
Where should a monobloc awning be installed?
It is best suited beneath a slab or overhang, or in another less exposed position. The substrate and exposure are checked during the survey.
Can it be motorised?
Yes on compatible models. The motor, control and any emergency operation are confirmed according to dimensions and power access.
Is a wind sensor enough to protect the awning?
No. It may help retract a compatible installation but cannot guarantee a response before a sudden gust. The awning must remain closed in strong winds.
Can an awning be used as a rain shelter?
No. It is designed as solar protection and must be retracted in accordance with its instructions when the weather deteriorates.
