Brasilia Slim

The Brasilia Slim, our cassette awnings.

In 2014, Auvents Multiples introduced the Brasilia Slim with its pure, sleek lines and fully enclosed cassette to a market dominated by traditional awnings, and it has since become a rising star in the market.

This is a custom-made cassette awning, assembled just for you in Canada from high-quality materials. This complete cassette housing protects the fabric, mechanism, and arms.

Unlike other models, it is not built on a square bar structure; the casing acts as the structure. This is perfect for modern architecture and for locations where your awning may be damaged by sand, snow, ice, saltwater, or very dusty environments.

All our awnings are made of high-quality cast and extruded aluminum with a powder-coated finish and feature pressure-coated acrylic fabrics available in 18 beautiful modern patterns. This product is available in a Soft White, Textured Black, Brown, and Anthracite colored casing.

*Please note that the fabric color image may differ slightly from reality depending on the screen used (computer, tablet, phone, etc.)
