Leiner Canto® Cubic Cassette Awning
- Modern Cubic Architecture: Sharp, rectangular full-cassette silhouette engineered for contemporary facades.
- 100% Weatherproof Sun & Rain Protection: Optional Sunrain® waterproof canopy handles driving rain and intense UV glare.

Can a cubic cassette awning combine sharp modern architecture with total weather protection?
The Leiner Canto® proves it can. Featuring a bold, square full-cassette housing designed to complement contemporary flat-roof architecture, the Canto protects its high-performance fabric canopy inside a weather-sealed enclosure when retracted. Custom-measured and installed by A’besco specialists across the Sutherland Shire, it delivers superior solar protection and optional all-weather waterproofing without compromising your home’s clean exterior lines.
Made to suit your home
Custom-engineered to align seamlessly with your home’s exterior architecture, the Leiner Canto SD is available as a single cassette system covering widths from 400 cm to 600 cm, with multi-field configurations available to extend continuous shade across larger window spans and outdoor areas.
Personalise your cassette housing in classic Traffic White, White Aluminium, or choose from 18 textured Leiner Lounge finishes and over 200 high-performance fabric patterns delivering up to UPF 80 solar protection. For clear outdoor views while maintaining shelter against wind and rain, select optional clear PVC window inserts—engineered for optimal performance across coastal Australian living environments.
Choice of operating systems
The Leiner Canto SD comes standard with a high-torque electric motor for effortless daily operation. Upgrade to Somfy® io radio-controlled technology for wireless control via handheld remote or smartphone app integration. A Safety Motion emergency manual crank drive can also be added as a reliable backup control to ensure complete operational peace of mind under any circumstances.
Details
The CANTO SD vertical window and facade awning is available in three cassette depth profiles to accommodate varying window heights and fabric weights:
- 100 SD: Maximum width of 400 cm
- 120 SD: Maximum width of 500 cm
- 150 SD: Maximum width of 600 cm
Multi-field configurations allow multiple awning fields of differing widths and heights to integrate inside a single unified cassette housing up to 600 cm wide.

Optional Extras
Smart Climate Controls
Fully automated sun and wind sensors complement your electric drive, extending shade automatically during peak solar hours and retracting the blind to protect against sudden coastal wind gusts.
Clear PVC Window Inserts
Incorporate transparent PVC window panels into your fabric screen to retain outdoor views while shielding your patio or alfresco area from rain and cool breezes. (User note: Due to natural material flexibility, PVC window panels may show minor creasing; avoid operating in near-freezing conditions below 0°C to preserve smooth cassette winding).
