The PIANO VARIO-VOLANT – the cubic cassette awning
The PIANO VARIO-VOLANT – the cubic cassette awning
The outstanding design of the PIANO with VARIO-VOLANT valance isn't the only impressive thing about it: when closed, the awning fabric and arms are optimally protected against weather conditions in the cassette. That puts the resilient, long-lasting cassette awning among the elite of sun protection systems.
Components made from specially hardened aluminium are the quality base for your PIANO VARIO-VOLANT. These components ensure long life and reliability, which are the characteristics of a high-end awning. The proven sturdy tilting joints ensure that the cassette retains its good closing behavior.
The straightforward and timeless design of your house should not stop at the sun protection. Go for a consistently cubic design for your awning as well.
The VARIO-VOLANT valance protects your privacy and acts as a reliable shield against slanting sunrays. That makes the glare and privacy screen an absolute must for west-facing balconies and terraces. The fabric rolled into the front profile can be unrolled steplessly, either using the manual crank or, for particular refinement, remotely via a solar-powered radio-controlled motor. The specially hardened arm parts allow a maximum awning projection of 3.50 m.
The PIANO VARIO-VOLANT is available in a maximum width of 600 cm and a maximum projection of 350 cm. In the standard version an electric motor is included.
The PIANO VARIO-VOLANT comes in the standard colour white (RAL 9010), or in one of the 18 LEINER LOUNGE fine structured finishes. We can also supply them in any preferred RAL colour for an additional charge.
Discover the many different optional extras for the PIANO VARIO-VOLANT cassette awning:
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 PIANO 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 PIANO 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 with solar panel – for maximum convenience.
Lighting
The PIANO VARIO-VOLANT is optionally available with two atmospheric LED lighting systems. The dimmable LED lighting on the underneath of the cassette ensures pleasant light on the terrace even when the awning is closed. The lighting can also be expanded with an LED lighting system integrated in the folding arms. Both light sources can be controlled separately. The indirect light creates a moody atmosphere.
SAFETY MOTION
The SAFETY MOTION emergency manual drive is the last-resort concept for your awning – if the radio-controlled motor does not work, the PIANO VARIO-VOLANT can be closed manually by crank with the emergency manual drive.
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 PIANO VARIO-VOLANT awning with valance for your terrace or balcony. The side awning protects also against light wind.
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.
