HOTEND philosophy
Shading designed as part of the architecture.
Every project begins with the building, the orientation and the way the exterior will be used. Our role is to transform those constraints into an elegant, reliable system.
Engineered for architectural freedom and inspired by nautical technology, HOTEND retractable sail systems combine elegant design, controlled tension and reliable automation.
From cost-efficient shading solutions to advanced systems for large architectural spans, each model is engineered to integrate naturally into its surroundings while providing exceptional outdoor comfort.
HTS-ALUp to 65 m²
Smart Engineering. Exceptional Value.
Professional retractable sail engineering in its most efficient form — robust, precise and designed for everyday architectural use.
HTS-AL combines clean sail geometry, dependable operation and excellent value. Stainless-steel tension springs maintain the required fabric load throughout movement, creating a mechanically simple, durable retractable sail system for residential and commercial terraces.
Key features
Automatic retractable sail system
Stainless-steel spring tensioning
Excellent price-to-performance ratio
Suitable for residential and commercial applications
Sail areas up to 65 m²
HTC IUp to 65 m²
Controlled Tension. Architectural Elegance.
A double-sided retractable sail system engineered around a single gas compensator for precise, controlled fabric tension.
HTC I combines architectural lightness with active tension control. Its gas compensator continuously manages load as the sail opens and retracts, helping the membrane retain its designed geometry while delivering smooth movement and generous coverage.
Key features
Double-sided retractable sail
Single gas compensator
Continuous tension control
Automatic operation
Designed for medium and large spans
Sail areas up to 65 m²
HTC I Cantilever Option
HTC I is also available in a distinctive three-post cantilever configuration. Removing the fourth support opens circulation and sightlines while preserving controlled tension and the sculptural character of the sail.
HTC IIUp to 80 m²
Engineered for Larger Spans.
A higher-capacity double-sided retractable sail system with two gas compensators for larger and more demanding installations.
HTC II is developed for projects where span, sail area and architectural presence all increase. Two gas compensators distribute and regulate tension, supporting stable membrane geometry, controlled movement and the lightweight appearance that defines HOTEND retractable sails.
Key features
Double-sided retractable sail
Dual gas compensators
Designed for larger spans
Continuous and balanced tension control
Automatic operation
Sail areas up to 80 m²
HTV IRectangular system
Rectangular Geometry. Architectural Freedom.
A purpose-built rectangular retractable sail system for long terraces, narrow footprints and architecture that demands disciplined geometry.
HTV I uses a single gas compensator to control membrane tension while its rectangular plan makes efficient use of elongated spaces. It is designed for projects where conventional sail geometry would leave valuable areas uncovered.
Key features
Rectangular retractable sail geometry
Single gas compensator
Designed for elongated layouts
Efficient coverage of narrow and long areas
Automatic operation
Clean architectural integration
HTV IILarge rectangular system
Rectangular Performance for Larger Spans.
HOTEND’s high-capacity rectangular retractable sail system for expansive architectural coverage.
HTV II combines rectangular geometry with two gas compensators to manage larger membranes and longer spans. Balanced tension supports stable operation across demanding layouts while retaining the visual lightness of a tensioned sail.
Key features
Large rectangular retractable sail system
Dual gas compensators
Designed for long and narrow layouts
Suitable for larger spans
