About this project
Small mounting details can make a big difference to how an awning looks. At Mercer View in Cherrywood, we used specially made concealed brackets with a matte black cassette and integrated lighting.
The concealed brackets help keep attention on the awning rather than its mounting hardware. This is a broad installation, measuring 5.7m wide with a 3m projection. The black finish continues across the cassette, giving it a defined outline against the building.
A considered appearance in both positions
An awning is seen when it is closed as well as when it is open. Concealing the brackets helps make the mounting detail less prominent around the cassette, which matters on a wide unit that remains visible above the outdoor area.
For a similar project, look at the closed enclosure, the open fabric and the lighting as three parts of the same design. The matte black finish gives this Cherrywood installation its outline, while the integrated LEDs bring a different character to the space in the evening.
Solution and installation
LEDs are built into the arms and front, bringing lighting into the same structure as the canopy. The awning is motorised and includes a wind sensor. When closed, the fabric retracts into the cassette, leaving the enclosure as the main visible element.

FAQ — Mercer View, Cherrywood, Dublin
What makes the brackets on this project different?
They were specially made to be concealed in the finished installation. Their design belongs to this particular mounting arrangement.
Does the Cherrywood awning include evening lighting?

What should I look at when choosing a cassette colour?
Consider how the closed unit will sit against the wall and window frames, as well as how the colour looks beside the extended fabric.
