Dome awnings

Beautiful and functional tradition

Invented and patented by Pratic in the 1960s, the dome awning is a timeless classic. An icon that carries with it the value of functionality, hence why it never went out of production.

More than half a century ago, the innovative reach of the dome awning won over Italian families needing protection from the sun, adapted to new living contexts. Likewise, for the local artisan workshops, where the rounded forms and the possibility of customising the awning could be made more attractive to customers strolling through the city centre and along shopping streets.

Capri

Cosy and rational shapes characterise the Capri dome awning. The aluminium frame can be opened and closed manually or in an automated way, for a customised shading.

Grado

The Grado dome awning stands out for its generous and clear-cut shapes that make it versatile in any architectural context, thus creating a complete and functional protection.

Selene

A perfect roundness inspires the structure of Selene, the iconic aluminium dome awning with a timeless appeal. Ideal for protecting and enhancing windows, balconies and shop windows.

Ischia

Large and rational, its design takes you back in time.
Ischia is the aluminium dome awning that is perfect for those who want to protect glazing and balconies with a unique sunshading system.

Dakar

A square and tapered profile allowing for the protection of wide surfaces. With Dakar, the dome awning gets slender, thus becoming the perfect furnishing element for shop windows and private outdoor spaces.

Elba

The Elba dome awning is always flawless, its shape ample and fine. The sloping frame improves the solar shading further, to be adjusted manually or motor-driven.

Elegance, durability and perfect functionality

One thing has not changed: choosing a Pratic outdoor dome awning means adopting a technically-perfect solution with a balanced design and a comfortable mode of use. The structure is made of aluminium to guarantee lightness and elegance, whilst the components are in stainless steel and are weather-resistant. Painting is a central step, carried out with the utmost care to achieve a uniform, UV-resistant result.

A wide range of fabrics and operations

The extensive choice of acrylic fabrics and shade cloths in PVC satisfies every desire for creativity. Application is with high-precision stitching executed with the sartorial care of the best of Made in Italy, using Tenara thread that is resistant to all the stresses to which the blind is subjected on a daily basis.

Each awning is tailor-made so that the end result is in perfect balance with the context. Automatic handling is usually preferred but you can also opt for the manual version, provided with all models.

Balcony and shop dome awnings

Capri, Dakar, Grado, Elba, Ischia and Selene are the Pratic dome awning models bearing names reminiscent of the sea and far-away places. Functional, elegant and discreet, balcony canopies can be applied to residential structures of any architectural style. Shop dome awnings, on the other hand, fit into urban settings to protect shop windows and entrances, yet can also characterise hotels and accommodation facilities. The awnings have round or more linear forms, able to extend even up to seven metres in width. Their innate robustness makes them resistant to the most extreme environmental conditions. The possibility of customisation with company logos and texts renders these blinds a formidable communication tool.
