BASE Lite

Compact Fully Cassetted Awning for Smaller Spaces

The Base Lite is a slimline, fully cassetted folding arm awning designed for smaller patios, balconies, terraces, and shopfronts.

Made in the UK and built to the same high standards as our flagship Base Plus, it offers discreet styling and reliable performance in a more compact footprint. Whether you’re shading a small garden seating area or enhancing a retail frontage, the Base Lite delivers style, comfort, and easy installation.

Key Features & Benefits

Fully Cassetted Design

The arms and fabric retract into a compact aluminium cassette, keeping everything protected from wind, rain and dirt. This preserves the awning’s fabric and mechanism for long-term use and ensures a tidy look when not in use.

Slim, Lightweight Construction

Designed for smaller spaces, the Base Lite combines a streamlined design with strength and durability. It’s perfect for modest patios, balconies, and ground-floor retail windows where full shading is needed without visual bulk.

Quick-Fit 2-Bracket Installation

The system mounts easily with one bracket at each end – no middle supports or back bars required. Fixings allow for wall (face) or ceiling (top) mounting, and installers can adjust the pitch easily on site.

Simple Pitch Adjustment

A one-bolt mechanism lets you tilt the awning to the desired angle during installation – helping to optimise sun protection, privacy or light rain runoff as needed.

Manual or Motorised Operation

Operate with a traditional crank handle or upgrade to a motorised version for added convenience. Motor options are compatible with remote control, switches or smart integration – ideal for modern homes and shopfronts.
