Regal exclusive
Engineered for the
cleanest closed look.
The Regal pairs European cassette housing with the strongest mechanism in our lineup. The full cassette closes flush — fabric and arms completely hidden when retracted.
Regal full cassette
Fully enclosed · 11-cable ART · 72,000 cycles · 3,300 lbs spring tension · 50×50mm galv. steel torsion bar
Standard open-frame retractable
Hood-only · fabric and arms partially exposed · aluminum torsion bar
11-cable ART belt tested to 72,000 cycles — opening twice a day for nearly 100 years
3,300 lbs of spring tension keeps fabric drum-tight even at the 23' max width
50×50mm galvanized steel torsion bar — heavier and stiffer than the aluminum bars used in most retractables
Sealed dual ball bearing elbows for smoother operation and longer service life
Emerald Protection included — defends against fading, staining, and most weather-driven wear
A drop shade built into the cassette.
When the late afternoon sun comes in low — the kind that gets under any horizontal awning — the Regal's integrated drop shade pulls down from the front bar to block it. It's the only retractable in our lineup that pairs cassette housing with this feature, and it works on both the semi and full cassettes.
Where the Olympus stops, the Regal keeps going. The Olympus offers a drop shade only on the open-frame configuration. The Regal is the only retractable that pairs the clean cassette look with an integrated drop shade — semi or full.
Drops from the front bar of the awning — adds 3 to 6 feet of vertical sun coverage
Sunbrella mesh fabric blocks 80–95% of UV depending on weave — preserves view through the screen
Independently motorized — extend or retract the drop shade without affecting the awning above
Available with both the semi cassette and the full cassette — your choice of look, no compromise on function

Two ways to install
Built around your home,
not the other way around.
01
Wall mounted
The most common installation type. The cassette attaches directly to an exterior wall, typically above a door, window, or sliding glass door. Ideal for most modern residential applications and provides a clean, integrated look — especially with the matte Onyx finish.
02
Roof mounted
Used when wall space is limited or when the roofline provides the best angle for coverage. Precision flashing and weatherproof sealing — important on cassette installs where the housing has to clear the roofline cleanly.

Customer stories
What Seattle homeowners
are saying
★★★★★
Marisa K. — Bainbridge Island, WA
"We chose the Regal full cassette because we wanted a clean modern look when the awning is retracted. The Onyx finish blends right into our siding. Honestly looks like architecture."
★★★★★
Alex T. — Mercer Island, WA
"The drop shade is the reason we picked the Regal over the Olympus. We get late-afternoon glare straight off the lake — pulling the screen down kills it instantly."
★★★★★
Patricia W. — Bellevue, WA
"Quality is night and day vs. the cheaper awning we had before. You can hear the difference — the Regal is quieter and feels much more solid when it extends."
★★★★★
Daniel H. — Kirkland, WA
"The Rainier team measured carefully, talked through every option, and didn't try to upsell us to the full cassette when the semi was the right fit. Two seasons in and the housing still looks brand new."
