Retractable sail systems
Retractable sail systems.
Engineered for architectural freedom and inspired by nautical technology, HOTEND retractable sail systems combine elegant design, controlled tension and reliable automation.
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 OptionHTC 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
- Continuous tension control
- Automatic operation
- Premium architectural solution
