AGORA CAFE SYSTEMS

The Arquati Agora Cafe Awning (and it's twin sister, the Berso) is an extremely elegant street-scene cafe-bar awning with a modern variation in design. The fabric that this awning is made from is not acrylic cloth, but a semi-rigid fully waterproof Pvc. When the awning is retracted, instead of the fabric rolling around a tubular roller, the individual panels fold and hang, similar to a roman blind or Wintergarden awning. These fabric folds are protected by an aluminium coverboard. When the awning is extended, there are intermediate rigid aluminium tracks in between each fabric panel which are attached at each end to the tension cord drive system. As the drive mechanism pulls these tracks forward, each fabric panel inbetween is pulled taut and rigid, thus allowing perfect rain run-off all round the whole surface area of the awning. The difference between the two is that the Berso is a simple and functional version, available with a framework in either aluminium box section or treated timber; whereas the Agora is a more fanciful and decorative system, which incorporates a full water-drainage guttering system all round the awning, whereby rainwater run-off is dispersed via the front decorative upright ground posts, with optional curtains, tie-backs, side curtains, modesty screens or wind barriers. The Agora Cafe System is available in a perfect range of made-to-measure dimensions to suit any cafe or restaurant.
