Stretch vs. OptiStretch | Choosing the Right Fabric Guidance System
While the Sottezza Pure and Originale awnings share the same frame system and tensioning mechanism, the key difference lies in how the fabric is guided and tensioned.

Stretch System – Flexible & Adjustable
- Fabric is tensioned between the roller tube and the front profile.
- Leaves a gap of up to 25 mm between the fabric and support channel.
- In larger constructions, fabric sagging of up to 15 cm may occur.
- Distance ropes can be used to minimise sagging, with quantity adjusted based on projection.
- Acrylic and polyester fabrics allow for slight stretching of the fabric’s side edges.
OptiStretch System – Fully Enclosed & Perfectly Taut
- Features a PVC fabric guide profile within the support channel for optimal four-way tensioning.
- Completely eliminates side gaps for a fully enclosed system.
- Ensures even fabric tensioning on all sides, preventing sagging.
- Provides superior rolling properties, ensuring smooth extension and retraction compared to the Stretch system.
For larger installations or those requiring a completely closed, precision-tensioned fabric, the OptiStretch system is the ideal choice. For a flexible and adaptable setup, the Stretch system offers a reliable solution with optional support adjustments.
