Vertitex Side Channel by Weinor

Universal vertical awning in Canberra.

Aurora Designs prioritises local manufacturing, but in certain situations where we identify and acknowledge supremacy in product design, componentry and colour range, we cannot turn away excellence. Other popular brands in the European outdoor market, such as Markilux, come close to the standards set by Weinor, but in our opinion having worked with all brands, Weinor sets itself apart in more ways than one.

The VertiTex Side Channel is an ideal solution for slightly less windy areas, offering reliable protection and elegant functionality. Designed with a guide rail system, the bottom rail is smoothly guided within the rail, ensuring stable and consistent operation. While a small light gap remains between the fabric and rail, this feature allows for a more discreet and streamlined appearance. The bottom rail runs quietly with the slider inside the guide rail, offering a seamless experience. The VertiTex II Side Channel provides flexible coverage for larger outdoor spaces, making it a great choice for patios, conservatories, and other outdoor areas where reliable shading and wind protection are required.

Reliable Guidance

The bottom rail is securely guided within the side channel, providing superior stability and smooth operation. This system ensures that the awning remains firmly in place, even during moderate breezes, preventing fabric sagging or displacement for a consistently neat and secure fit.

Streamlined Design

The minimal light gap between the fabric and the rail offers a sleek, modern look that complements any exterior. This subtle design detail enhances the aesthetics of your outdoor space while ensuring complete coverage and privacy, without sacrificing performance.

Smooth Operation

The bottom rail moves effortlessly within the guide rail, thanks to the integrated slider, which ensures a quiet and seamless performance. Whether opening or retracting, the system runs smoothly, providing a calm and undisturbed experience even in mild weather conditions.

Insect Repellent

The VertiTex also acts as an insect repellent, keeping unwanted pests out of your outdoor areas while still allowing you to enjoy the fresh air. This added benefit enhances the comfort of your outdoor environment.
