The Retrosun Classic holds its position in conditions where standard awnings fail. With the strongest scissor arms on the market, steel tension springs and a rigid frame construction it delivers wind resistance on every terrace.
The steel arms (built with double-thickness 12 mm slats and weighing upto 90kg) provide the rigidity to resist wind pressure.
Springs under constant tension keep the fabric taut and the structure stable, including in gusting conditions.
Rated to Wind Class 2, built for conditions where other awnings reach their limits.
The Retrosun Classic scissor arm awning keeps the terrace open when it rains. Dickson fabric, an integrated gutter and an optional fabric support system work together to handle wet conditions without compromise.
Rainwater is collected and channelled away through an integrated gutter so there are no dripping edges.
(optional) Prevents the fabric from sagging under the weight of standing water, ensuring clean drainage.
(optional) Dickson MAX is fully waterproof thanks to an extra water-repellent acrylic coating.
The Retrosun Classic adds character to modern buildings and complements heritage fronts. Every detail can be configured as wished.
Powder-coated steel arms and frame, finished in any RAL colour of your choice. To match the building or the brand.
Choose from 173 Dickson Orchestra colours or 28 Dickson MAX colours: from understated neutrals to bold statement shades.
Up to 15 metres the fabric can be made from one piece. No seams across the span for a clean result.
Integrated LED lighting extends the terrace into the evening without additional fixtures.
Available as a standard valance or an electric vario valance that adjusts the drop on demand.
Terrace heating integrated into the awning structure so the terrace can be used in any weather without a separate installation.
For businesses, the valance can be fitted with LED logo or LED text which keeps the business visible after dark.
An extra protective coating applied to all metal components developed for coastal environments where salt air accelerates corrosion.
Wind sensors close the awning when conditions change. A sun sensor opens it when the sun comes out, no manual operation needed.
Over 50 years of experience in developing awnings, serving private clients as well as major hospitality chains and retailers across Europe.
No standard sizes, no off-the-shelf solutions. Every awning is configured to the exact dimensions of your building, built from high-quality materials.
Every scissor arm awning is engineered in our own factory. We control the entire process: from first drawing to finished product and installation.
Retrosun is headquartered in Belgium. Through a network of specialist dealers, our awnings are installed all over Europe.
Whether you are planning a project, looking for technical advice or interested in our dealer network, contact us directly.
The Retrosun Classic is operated by a Somfy electric tube motor, controlled by remote or smartphone. Optional wind and sun sensors automate the process further, closing the awning when wind picks up and opening it when the sun comes out.
Both are acrylic fabrics with excellent UV protection and lasting colour. The difference is waterproofing: Orchestra has good water resistance (>350 mm) and works well in most conditions. MAX adds a clear coating on one side that makes it fully waterproof (>1200 mm), the choice for year-round use or wetter climates. MAX comes in 28 colours; Orchestra offers a wider range of 173 colours.
The Retrosun Classic is designed with modularity in mind. The system breaks down into manageable components, making installation straightforward for any trained installer.
LED valances make your business stand out at night and lets you attract more customers.
Somfy integration lets you control your LED valance completely seperate from your awning.
The LED panels are thin and discretely integrated into our valance so they operate as a regular one during the day.
We have color options for your specific needs
Our LED awnings are made with the same fabrics
We use somfy components to automise our products. These allow you to not only control your awning but also the attachments which come with it: your terrasheating, lighting,… with one remote, or even with your phone, when you are not at home.
