Lakeland kentmere full cassette awning fabric retractable awnings

Lakeland Kentmere Awning

The Lakeland Kentmere is a premium full cassette folding arm awning, specifically engineered for locations where space and unobtrusive design are paramount. Manufactured in the UK, this model is defined by its incredibly compact, slimline cassette, which measures just 122mm in height when fully retracted. This ensures the awning blends seamlessly into your property’s architecture without dominating the façade.

Despite its minimalist profile, the Kentmere does not compromise on performance. It is supplied as a fully electric-operated system as standard, allowing users to effortlessly deploy the awning at the touch of a button. The tightly sealed full cassette design ensures that both the high-performance fabric and the folding arm mechanisms are completely protected from the weather when not in use, significantly extending the lifespan of the product.

Highly versatile, the Kentmere is an exceptional shading solution for both domestic and commercial applications. For homeowners, it is the perfect addition to modern patios, decking areas, and garden spaces, providing essential UV protection for children playing outside or creating a comfortable alfresco dining area. Its compact nature makes it a strong choice for residential properties with restricted space above bi-fold doors or ground-floor windows.

In a commercial setting, the Kentmere offers an elegant way for boutique shops, cafés, and high-street retailers to extend their usable space. It protects window displays and fresh produce from sun bleaching while maintaining a cool, inviting ambience inside the premises. Retailers can also take advantage of bespoke fabric printing to feature corporate colours and logos, turning the awning into an eye-catching advertising asset.

The Kentmere is designed for a streamlined and secure installation process. Its folding arms are supported by a pair of heavy duty, extruded aluminium brackets that affix directly to the structural wall. Because the cassette is so lightweight and compact, it is highly adaptable to standard brickwork and single storey extensions.

For properties with challenging facades, such as heavily insulated renders, uneven stonework, or limited structural timber, the Kentmere can be installed using bespoke spreader plates or gutter brackets. These specialised brackets ensure the weight and wind-load tension are safely distributed across a wider surface area, guaranteeing a secure, permanent fixture.

To guarantee complete peace of mind, the Lakeland Kentmere comes with a comprehensive 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee, which covers all structural hardware, folding arms, and the integrated Somfy electric motor. Furthermore, the premium awning fabrics are backed by a 10-year warranty against colour fading and UV degradation, helping your outdoor space retain its visual appeal for years to come.
