Window Awning (Wintent)
The WNT 4500 window awning provides a high degree of shading with its drop-arm principle. The fabric is protected inside the cassette, creating an elegant, nostalgic shading area with strong performance.
A window awning (Wintent) is an arm-operated shade fitted above the window: open, it keeps the sun off the glass; closed, it disappears into its cassette. The arm mechanism of the WNT 4500 takes up no space in front of narrow balconies and windows. The fabric is protected inside the cassette, so it stands up to the weather.
Window Awning WNT 4500
The fabric drops from a compact 150 × 120 mm cassette above the window and the two side arms swing out up to 170°, moving the fabric away from the glass. The sun is blocked while the window stays open, so air keeps flowing and the view remains.
The window awning is designed for window and shopfront openings on residential, hotel and retail façades. With motorised operation, remote control and a wide range of fabrics it gives classic façades a nostalgic touch and modern façades an elegant one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a window awning (Wintent) used for?
A window awning is a drop-arm awning that provides vertical shading for window and façade openings; because the arms hold the fabric away from the glass, the window can stay open.
How do I choose the arm length?
The arm length sets how far the fabric moves away from the window: 500–750 mm for narrow windows, 1000–1500 mm for wide shopfronts. Our authorised dealer recommends the right length for the orientation of your façade.
What is the difference between a cassette awning and a folding-arm awning?
A cassette awning is a motorised terrace awning that protects the fabric inside a closed box when not in use; a folding-arm awning also keeps the fabric in a cassette but is hand-cranked.
What sizes is the window awning made up to?
The WNT 4500 (Wintent) is made up to 5000 mm wide; the arm length is chosen between 500 and 1500 mm and the arm opens up to 170 degrees. The cassette measures 150 × 120 mm.
Why is the window awning narrower than the cassette awning?
The window awning is designed to take no room above a window, in front of a narrow balcony or a shop window, so its cassette and projection are small to match. For shading a wide terrace, the cassette awning, which reaches 7 metres, is used.
Size and cassette differences for the three models are in the awning comparison.
