{"product_id":"volet-anthracite-manual-retractable-awning","title":"Manual Retractable Awning Anthracite | Volet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA manual retractable awning for terraces, balconies and windows. The Volet is a different proposition from the motorised awnings in the Shadelys range: a simpler, more versatile shade structure that installs at any height between 200cm and 300cm from the ground, extends to a maximum projection of 120cm, and operates via a 125cm hand crank that can be fitted on either the left or the right depending on the layout of your space. It works as a terrace awning in the conventional sense, and it works equally well mounted directly above a window to block direct sunlight or provide complete window coverage when required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel frame is built for durability, providing a rigid structure for a canopy this scale across a range of installation heights. The 100% polyester canopy with PU coating is water and dirt repellent — the fabric repels both moisture and surface grime rather than simply resisting water alone. High lightfastness across the canopy fabric means the anthracite tone holds its depth through sustained UV exposure without fading. And unlike the fixed canopies of most retractable awnings, the Volet's canopy is fully removable and machine washable, making end-of-season maintenance straightforward rather than a task to defer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crank handle extends to 125cm, long enough to reach the awning comfortably from standing height without needing to stretch or use a step. Left or right installation is your choice at the point of assembly, with no separate parts or adaptor required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA manual retractable awning for terraces, balconies and window installations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Volet is available in multiple widths to suit different installation spans, with two frame finishes: white frame for lighter exterior palettes and anthracite frame for contemporary or dark-toned settings. Select the combination that suits your space using the options above. Regardless of width, the maximum projection is 120cm and the installation height adjusts between 200cm and 300cm from the ground, accommodating most standard window and fascia heights without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe canopy angle is adjustable, allowing you to increase the pitch for better weather protection or reduce it to maximise the depth of shade across the area below. The support bar at 16mm diameter provides the structural integrity to hold the canopy flat and taut at full extension without flex or movement at the outer edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum projection: 120 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstallation height: 200-300 cm | Support bar: 16mm diameter | Crank length: 125cm | Left or right crank installation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor shade coverage across larger areas or spaces away from the building wall, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cantilever-umbrellas\"\u003eCantilever Umbrellas\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shade-sails\"\u003eShade Sails\u003c\/a\u003e collections offer complementary freestanding options.

Mounted above a window, it blocks direct sunlight from entering the room during the hottest part of the day, reducing indoor temperature without air conditioning. Mounted above a balcony railing or a small terrace, it extends 120cm outward to create a sheltered zone directly in front of the wall. In apartments, townhouses and compact outdoor spaces where a large motorised awning would overhang the available area, the Volet covers what needs covering and no more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anthracite canopy absorbs overhead glare without reflecting it back into the space, producing a defined, comfortable shade zone beneath the extended fabric. The removable canopy means the fabric can be taken down, washed and reinstalled at the start of each season, keeping the appearance fresh without replacing the entire awning structure. In the Australian outdoor context, where dust, pollen and urban airborne debris settle on outdoor fabrics through the summer months, that washability is a genuine long-term maintenance advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual retractable awning, multiple widths available.
