Ellisse – Full-Cassette Awning

Ellisse by Pratic is a retractable folding-arm awning defined by its elliptical aluminium cassette. The full-cassette design encloses the fabric and folded structure when the awning is closed. When extended, the canopy creates shade for balconies, terraces and outdoor seating areas without front support posts.

The elliptical cassette

The shape of the cassette gives Ellisse its name and its recognisable profile. Its rounded outline offers a softer alternative to square-edged awning housings. With the fabric gathered inside, the closed awning reads as a compact element along the building.

The cassette also shelters the rolled fabric between uses. This makes the closed configuration part of the product's everyday function, rather than something to consider only when the canopy is extended.

Made-to-measure shade

Ellisse is available in widths from 178 to 540 cm, with projections from 150 to 300 cm. These dimensions cover a range of residential and professional outdoor spaces, from a balcony seating area to a terrace outside a café or restaurant.

Width and projection should be considered together with the direction of sunlight and the location of the furniture. The maximum range dimensions describe the model's limits; the available combination is confirmed for the requested configuration.

Manual or motorised operation

The folding arms can be operated manually or by motor. Motorised configurations can be considered where remote operation is preferred, with compatible controls selected alongside the awning. The opening can be adjusted to provide the degree of coverage required at a particular time of day.

Retracting the canopy restores the open space above the seating area. This flexibility is useful on terraces that alternate between direct sunlight and shade, rather than requiring a permanent overhead cover.

Fabric and frame colours

Ellisse offers a choice of fabrics and frame finishes. The textile determines much of the appearance of the extended canopy, while the cassette colour remains visible when the awning is closed. Considering both together helps coordinate the shading with doors, windows and outdoor furnishings.

Fabric samples can be compared with the surrounding materials to assess colour and texture. The selected textile, motor and control equipment are confirmed for the individual product specification.
