The Opal Design II meets all the high demands for a luxury, made to order, electric operated full cassette awning, built to shade larger areas and offering additional options such as Lighting, Heating or a drop down front valance for privacy and low sun shading.
The appeal of the low-noise weinor LongLife arm is its very high tension force – even in gusty conditions. This ensures the fabric is exceptionally well positioned. 10 year manufcaturer warranty as standard.
The Opal Design II excels in its peformance due to its high wind resistance capability. It copes easily with winds up to force 5 on the Beaufort scale but we still always recommend you have the Bi Rec motion sensor or wind speed sensor to ensure the awning closes when the wind speeds are too high or the wind is gusting and upsetting the awning canopy and arms too much. This avoids damage to the awning if left unattended for any reason.
Like all the Weinor folding arm awnings you have 56 standard cassette and framework colours to choose from and then 171 fabrics as standard with some optional special fabrics if required with unique features and colours.
Standard Electric Operation
We have included the electric motor drive and associated remote receiver for remote control operation as standard with this awning.
You choose your remote control method and associated safety sensors, along with the standard brackets for wall fixing or optional brackets for toher application for which we would need further exact details in order to advise the best option.
The Bi Rec MA radio receiver operates the awning with various hand transmitter options, or even an app control upgrade opening up a whole world of possibilities controlled from your Ipad or smartphone. BiConnect radio controls are also used to operate the optional heating system or valance plus system from the comfort of your chair.

Installation Instructions provided with every awning.
Measuring for an Awning..
When measuring for an awning, the width, projection from the wall, height of the awning from the ground, the pitch of the canopy cover and the lowest height for the front profile when fully extended, are all the dimensions you should consider.
A ‘standard’ size and currently the most common size in the UK is a 4000mm wide awning with a 3000mm projection. On a standard house wall this awning could be installed at around 2800mm high from the ground, with a pitch of around 15 degrees on the canopy, so when fully extended the front of the awning would be at around 2000mm from the ground. The 3000mm projection would be less now, because of the angle of the canopy.
To guarantee a good rainwater run off from the fabric canopy a typical self supporting awning should be set at a minimum pitch of 14 degrees, but preferably greater than this if possible.
You can install and set a lot of retractable awnings to be at zero degrees of pitch, but then these should bever be used in the rain..At less than 14 degrees you should never leave the awning unattended when open and manage accordingly with rainfall.
Each awning brand and model will have a different and specific standard bracket position, so when measuring for an awning, please be aware of certain awning models which have fixed bracket positions.Many have brackets which can be repositioned but mostly the brackets tend to sit where the awning arms meet the cassette and mechanism.
Please check the specific model of awning and the fixing positions and be aware of limitations if you maybe have on the structure you are fixing to.
Dimensions and their Meaning
The ‘Ordering Width’ measurement refers to the overall width of the awning cassette or end to end dimension of any mechanism, when it isn’t a full cassette awning model. The fabric cover will ALWAYS be narrower than the awning width simply because of the physics, please check for exact fabric canopy width if this is important to you.
The ‘Projection’ is the length from the back of the awning brackets to the front of the leading profile and is when the adjustments in the arms are fully extended. Most awnings will be offered with the projections in 500mm increments, whilst the width is an exact millimetre dimension and most of our awnings are made to measure as standard.
Installation Considerations
When you are measuring for an awning and you have obstacles such as downpipes or maybe brickwork features so the wall isn’t totally flat you can choose to ignore these and focus on the width you need for the greatest shading. All the awnings have their standard fixing brackets but you can always order ‘stand off’ or ‘pipe’ brackets which enable the awning to be fitted away from the wall and in front of any obstacles. You might also discover unsuitable sub structure for fitting, such as single skin brickwork or maybe the awning position sits right over a lintel? In this case you can also spread the loading of the awning down, up or across your wall using spreader brackets.
Please email or call us with details of your obstacles and issues and some dimensions and we can advise if it isn't obvious from options given already.
Some Basic Advice
We have never known anyone to complain about any awning being too large, but a few people have wished they ordered something slightly bigger once they realise they had plenty more room and needed more shade and cover with the awning.
You create outdoor protected space with an awning for relaxing, entertaining and dining so covering your tables and chairs with enough overhang at the sides and front to deal with the moving sun is essential. The direction your patio, terrace or garden faces is also a huge factor to the awning size. Maybe take a long stick and at various times of the day hold it out from your building wall to show exactly where the shadow sits and this will show you what the awning will also do.. Of course have the stick or rod at the length you think your awning should be and also hold it at about 2m, but angling up to the height where the awning position will be - usually somewhere between 2.5 and 3m in most cases. You might be surprised how little shade you get at certain times of the day, but whatever your reasons are for an awning you will find other benefits other than just sunshade.
We offer many awning models with manual or electric drop down front valances and these are perfect to protect from low lying sun (West facing gardens) and also provide privacy and protection from cooling breezes. Many have a maximum extension of 2.1m to give total cover from ground to awning font profile…
