A folding arm awning is currently the most popular solution for creating shade on your patio. It not only extends your summer season but also makes it more pleasant in the scorching Dutch summers.
With so many options available, the choice can be overwhelming. That's why we've compiled an overview of the different Verano and Allround models to help you make an informed decision.
From affordable entry-level models to advanced top-quality awnings, there's always a folding arm awning that perfectly suits your needs.
STERK Zonweringen is an official dealer of Allround and Verano.
If you're looking for a beautiful entry-level folding arm awning, the Verano V210 Rhodos is an excellent choice. This is Verano's entry-level model, known for its proven technology and sleek design. The V210 is a so-called "open cassette," meaning the awning fabric and motor are not enclosed in a protective casing when the awning is retracted. We also call it the "roof under which everything is hidden."
Despite its favorable price, you do get a wide choice of canvases, motors and the quality you would expect.
Where there's a wide selection and good quality, the Verano V210 is a popular model. This model even used to be a standard item, which speaks volumes about its quality. If you pay attention in gardens, you'll still see this awning model in abundance.
The Verano V225 Porto represents a smart compromise. This folding arm awning is a semi-cassette model, meaning the fabric and motor are partially protected. The perfect fit between the front and top cover ensures that the fabric remains largely protected from dirt and weather. The bottom and rear remain open, which is no problem when this awning is installed flush against a facade.
The Verano V225 Porto also offers a wider selection of fabrics, but it also comes standard with the Somfy Sunea 50 IO motor. This motor comes with a generous 7-year replacement warranty from Somfy. This motor also pulls the fabric all the way to the stop, ensuring the awning never stays open after adjusting the fabric.
If optimal protection of the fabric and motor is your priority, the Verano V255 Salou is the ideal model. This folding-arm awning features a fully enclosed cassette. Once the awning is retracted, the cassette seals perfectly, completely protecting the fabric and motor from rain, dirt, and other weather conditions. The Salou is known for its excellent value and is one of Verano's best-selling folding-arm awnings. Its robust, sleek design complements both modern and classic homes.
The Verano V255 is often chosen for splayed walls or where complete protection of the fabric and motor is essential. This model is becoming increasingly popular in harsher weather conditions, even in winter. This model is often chosen to prevent weather streaks on the fabric and premature motor failure due to moisture.
The Verano V280 Ipanema is one of the top models in the Verano collection. This is a sleek and compact folding-arm awning with a narrow, closed cassette. What makes this model unique is that all components, including the steel cables, screws, and roller tube, are completely concealed, creating a very sleek look. The V280 Ipanema is electrically operated as standard and cannot be operated manually. Optionally, you can upgrade the awning with integrated LED lighting in the folding arms.
The Verano V280 is our best-selling model. Many of our customers choose this model for its sleek design, price-quality ratio, and fully protected cassette. This model also has a width of up to 600 cm and a projection of 300 cm, which is larger than previous models.
If you need more space to cover a larger patio, the Allround models are the perfect choice. This series, which includes the Allround Gaudi and Allround Moneo , offers stylish and modern solutions with larger dimensions and a closed cassette. The Gaudi models have an elegant, slim oval casing, while the Moneo has a sleek, modern, straight casing. These awnings are designed to create comfortable shade on even the largest patios and offer advanced options to keep your home cool.
For entry-level models, the Verano V210 or the Allround Pisano are your best bet. Both models offer excellent value for money, even for those on a budget.
A fully enclosed cassette offers better weather protection. Both the fabric and the motor are better protected. We always recommend choosing a fully enclosed cassette if the folding-arm awning cannot be installed flush against the facade.
Allround folding arm awnings can handle wind force 5. Verano folding arm awnings can handle wind force 4.
