The CAPRI VARIO-VOLANT folding arm awning – the entry model with added shade

The CAPRI VARIO-VOLANT folding arm awning – the entry model

With many variants, the CAPRI with VARIO-VOLANT valance offers a convincing combination of quality and durability. The resilient folding arm system keeps the awning's fabric taut, while the extremely sturdy tilt joint bracket ensures long-lasting functionality. This is a unique feature in this price range.

With the addition of a VARIO-VOLANT valance, the CAPRI both ensures privacy and provides customised shade that can be ideally adjusted to the course of the sun – a must for west-facing balconies or terraces at sunset. In the standard version the fabric of the VARIO-VOLANT valance is operated manually using a crank gear. Thanks to our wide range of fabrics, there are a lot of combination possibilities.

If the folding arm awning is to be mounted in an unprotected location, the awning fabric will be exposed to wind and weather. The patented adjustable hood profile, optionally available, can be adapted to the awning inclination.

Particularly heavily loaded awning components, such as arm brackets or folding arms, are made from hardened aluminium. Our special manufacturing process not only makes the awning components more resistant, but also enhances the safety and long life of our awnings. Further information about LEINER quality can be found here.

Optional extras

Discover the many different optional extras for the CAPRI VARIO-VOLANT folding-arm awning with valance:

Hood profile

The CAPRI VARIO-VOLANT can be fitted with a hood profile. You can choose between a classic fixed or adjustable patented hood profile. The adjustable hood profile can be used for single systems and adjusted to the corresponding awning inclination to provide optimum protection.

Wind Protect System

CAPRI awning with valance and wind protect system

The Wind Protect System WPS is an innovation of LEINER and was originally developed for the more stringent requirements of awnings for cafés and restaurants. The Wind Protect System WPS is now also available for the CAPRI VARIO-VOLANT: fixable supports on the front profile significantly enhance the wind stability of your awning. Depending on the size of the awning, the WPS offers protection from winds up to wind strength 8 – even sudden gusts. For a wind tunnel test of the Wind Protect System WPS, take a look at this video.

Drive

A radio-controlled motor is available instead of an electric motor in the standard version. Thanks to Somfy io wireless technology, extending and retracting does not only work via remote control. Your smartphone can also be used for control. The io wireless system allows your awning to be integrated into your smart home. On request, the CAPRI can also be operated manually with a crank (lower price).

The VARIO-VOLANT valance can be conveniently retracted and extended using a crank. If the awning is fitted with a radio-controlled motor, the valance can also be fitted with such a motor – for maximum convenience.

3D sensor

The radio-controlled motor drive variant can also be supplemented with a 3D sensor. Attached to the front profile, the sensor responds to the intensity of the movement of the awning, retracting it automatically if the wind gets too strong. Please note, however, that an electronic control will not protect your awning from sudden strong gusts of wind.

Control

Fully automated controls complement the electric drive and offer additional comfort and safety as sun and wind monitors, automatically extending or retracting your awning according to the sunlight or wind strength, even when you are not at home. Please note, however, that an electronic control will not protect your awning from sudden strong gusts of wind. An alternative is the manual Wind Protect System WPS. This optional extra variant stabilises your awning and also absorbs the sudden loads produced by gusts.

Heater

A heater allows you to sit out longer on those balmy summer evenings and enjoy the pleasant warmth under your awning. The heaters are also available in one of our 18 LEINER LOUNGE colours to match the awning. You also have the option of operating it wirelessly and integrating it into your smart home.

CALYPSO ROLL side awning

The CALYPSO ROLL side awning protects against both sunlight from the side and inquisitive glances – making it the perfect complement to the CAPRI VARIO-VOLANT for your terrace or balcony. The side awning protects also against light wind.

What is...?

Wind Protect System (WPS)
x
The Wind Protect System WPS is an innovation of LEINER and was originally developed for the more stringent requirements of awnings for the gastronomy. Fixable supports on the front profile significantly enhance the wind stability of your awning. Depending on the size of the awning, the WPS offers protection from winds of up to wind strength 8, even in the event of sudden gusts of wind.
Hardened aluminium
x
This is a special aluminium alloy that is given additional hardness through a subsequent thermal process. The material guarantees long life and resistance and meets the highest safety requirements. The special LEINER manufacturing process doubles the resistance and results in a durable strength of up to 350 N/mm². Thanks to the hardened aluminium, even awnings with a projection of 4 metres and on the other hand heavier profiles with an additional VARIO-VOLANT valance can be realized.

.
Front profile
x
The front profile is the front end of your LEINER awning and is also known as the drop profile. The awning fabric is attached to the front profile and transported forward as the folding arms extend. Also a valance may be attached to the front profile.

.
VARIO-VOLANT valance
x
A VARIO-VOLANT valance is an awning fabric that can be steplessly rolled up from the front profil. It provides privacy from the neighbourhood and provides shade, even when the sun is low. An awning without a VARIO-VOLANT valance is of very limited use on west-facing terraces, which are often exposed to the sunset. The shaded area is enlarged by simply extending the VARIO-VOLANT valance, for which a range of special fabrics as well as the normal awning fabrics are available. All VARIO-VOLANT valances from LEINER can also be controlled automatically by remote control on request.
