Awnings

An awning adds to the terrace exactly those hours when the sun would otherwise drive you indoors. What matters is less the fabric than the cassette protecting it.

Invisible when closed

Cubic cassette awning KKM 5 / KKM 7

Retracted, the fabric disappears completely into an angular cassette. That protects it — and is why a cassette awning still looks good long after an open one does not.

Projection (arm length)
1,500 mm · 2,000 mm · 2,500 mm · 3,000 mm · 3,500 mm · 4,000 mm
Minimum width per projection — KKM 5
1,500 mm arm → 1,910 mm · 2,000 mm arm → 2,410 mm · 2,500 mm arm → 2,910 mm · 3,000 mm arm → 3,410 mm · 3,500 mm arm → 3,910 mm Two folding arms need room side by side when retracted, so the minimum width rises with the projection.
Minimum width per projection — KKM 7
1,500 mm arm → 2,410 mm · 2,000 mm arm → 2,464 mm · 2,500 mm arm → 3,140 mm · 3,000 mm arm → 3,640 mm · 3,500 mm arm → 4,140 mm · 4,000 mm arm → 4,640 mm
Maximum width (bk)
KKM 5: max. 5,000 mm · KKM 7: max. 7,000 mm
Fabric deduction
KKM 5: 180 mm · KKM 7: 160 mm Construction width minus the deduction gives the fabric width — the figure that matters when planning into an existing reveal.
Coupled, four arms
min. 7,010 mm – max. 14,000 mm
Retract at wind speed
28 km/h The speed at which the unit must be retracted depends on width, height and mounting. Wind and rain sensors reduce the risk of damage but are no guarantee against it. Responsibility rests with whoever operates the installation.

Light and hard-wearing

Cassette awning KGM 5 / KGM 6

The same idea with a round cassette and less weight. Where the wall cannot take any load you like, that is the difference.

Projection (arm length)
1,500 mm · 2,000 mm · 2,500 mm · 3,000 mm · 3,500 mm · 4,000 mm
Minimum width per projection — KGM 5
1,500 mm arm → 1,760 mm · 2,000 mm arm → 2,260 mm · 2,500 mm arm → 2,790 mm Two folding arms need room side by side when retracted, so the minimum width rises with the projection.
Minimum width per projection — KGM 6
1,500 mm arm → 1,770 mm · 2,000 mm arm → 2,260 mm · 2,500 mm arm → 2,790 mm · 3,000 mm arm → 3,300 mm · 3,500 mm arm → 3,810 mm · 4,000 mm arm → 4,320 mm
Maximum width (bk)
KGM 5: max. 5,000 mm · KGM 6: max. 6,000 mm
Fabric deduction
180 mm (motor) / 200 mm (manual) Construction width minus the deduction gives the fabric width — the figure that matters when planning into an existing reveal.
Fabric deduction with LED arm lighting
224 mm (motor) / 244 mm (manual)
Retract at wind speed
KGM 5: 38 km/h · KGM 6: 38 km/h on small units, 28 km/h on large ones The speed at which the unit must be retracted depends on width, height and mounting. Wind and rain sensors reduce the risk of damage but are no guarantee against it. Responsibility rests with whoever operates the installation.

For the balcony

Balcony awning BGM 6 / CGM 5

Cut to the proportions of a balcony: little projection, little build height, and fitted even where a slab gets in the way above.

Projection (arm length)
1,500 mm · 2,000 mm · 2,500 mm
Minimum width per projection
1,500 mm arm → 1,760 mm · 2,000 mm arm → 2,260 mm · 2,500 mm arm → 2,790 mm Two folding arms need room side by side when retracted, so the minimum width rises with the projection.
Maximum width (bk)
BGM 6: max. 6,000 mm · CGM 5: max. 5,000 mm
Fabric deduction
BGM 6: 190 mm · CGM 5: 190 mm (motor) / 205 mm (manual) Construction width minus the deduction gives the fabric width — the figure that matters when planning into an existing reveal.
Retract at wind speed
38 km/h The speed at which the unit must be retracted depends on width, height and mounting. Wind and rain sensors reduce the risk of damage but are no guarantee against it. Responsibility rests with whoever operates the installation.

Standard awning NGM 20

The open design without a cassette. Cheaper per square metre and made for wide spans — but the fabric stands unprotected, which asks for care.

Projection (arm length)
1,500 mm · 2,000 mm · 2,500 mm · 3,000 mm · 3,500 mm · 4,000 mm
Minimum width per projection

Maximum width (bk)
max. 20,000 mm
Width by number of arms
2 arm: max. 6,000 mm · 4 arm: max. 12,000 mm · 6 arm: max. 18,000 mm · 8 arm: max. 20,000 mm
Fabric deduction
