Vertitex Side Channel by Weinor

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.

System Height Up to 400 cm
The system height of up to 400 cm allows for greater flexibility in installation, accommodating larger spaces and offering enhanced coverage. This feature ensures that your vertical awning is suitable for both residential and commercial applications with higher or wider spaces.


Reliably Guided Bottom Rail
The bottom rail runs smoothly within the guide rails, providing a steady and secure support system. A small light gap remains between the fabric and the rail, allowing for precise fabric tension while maintaining the awning's functionality in different weather conditions.


Modern, Versatile Design
The VertiTex II Zip offers two cassette shapes: square or round, allowing you to choose the best option for your space. Customisable in your preferred colours, it integrates well with a variety of facades, and the wide range of fabric options, including seamless sheer fabrics like Perluca, gives you the ability to tailor the look to suit your outdoor decor.


Installation-Friendly Features
The cantilever housing bracket allows for easy installations up to 250 cm wide without the need for wall brackets. Optional guide rails with a smooth, hole-free design provide an invisible mounting solution in niches or recesses, creating a sleek, unobtrusive appearance.



Enhanced Stability and Quiet Operation
The rotatable bottom rail bearings enhance the stability of the awning, allowing for smooth and secure operation, even in high winds. This design also prevents jamming and ensures reliable performance, enhancing the durability of the VertiTex II Zip in challenging weather conditions.
