Enjoy smooth, reliable shade at the push of a button, with a full cassette that keeps the fabric protected when the awning is closed.
Want patio shade that feels effortless?
If you use your outdoor space often, you don’t want an awning that feels like a faff. You want shade when the sun’s on the doors, and you want it to close away neatly when you’re done.
Epica Lite is made for exactly that. It gives you a clean full-cassette finish, strong coverage options, and an easy day-to-day experience.
A Full Cassette Look That Stays Neat on Your Wall
Epica Lite closes into a full cassette, which keeps the arms and fabric enclosed when retracted.
Your patio stays bright and your exterior stays tidy, without an awning sitting open to the elements when you’re not using it.
Choose the Size That Actually Fits Your Patio
Epica Lite is available up to 6000mm wide, with projection options from 160cm to 410cm (with Giant arms).
That means you can set up a shaded area for a small seating spot, or cover a bigger family table without feeling cramped.
Motorised Comfort That Suits Everyday Use
If you choose the motorised build, the awning comes with a Somfy io motor as standard (with a 3m black cable).
You press a button, you get shade. It’s ideal if you open and close your awning regularly, or you want a smoother routine for the whole household.
Optional Lighting for Calmer Evenings Outside
Epica Lite can be specified with optional LED arm lighting. There’s also an LED cassette strip option if you want a softer glow along the awning line. This helps your patio feel usable later in the day, without relying on harsh wall lights.
Sensor Options to Help Protect the Awning
Wind and sun sensor options are available, so the awning can react when conditions change. If your patio is exposed, this can add extra peace of mind, especially when you’re out or busy and the weather is doing its usual UK thing.
A Cleaner Finish With Proper Colour Options
Epica Lite is available in three popular frame colours: RAL 9010 White (standard), RAL 7016 Anthracite, and RAL 9005 Black. That makes it easier to match modern doors, window frames, and exterior finishes without it looking like an afterthought.
