Awnings
Awnings – Instant Shade, Comfort & Style at the Touch of a Button
Create a cool, sheltered outdoor area with a retractable awning—ideal for sunny patios, balconies, shopfronts, and garden seating areas. Our made-to-measure awnings provide instant shade and UV protection while adding comfort and visual appeal to your exterior space.
With options for motorisation, remote control, and smart weather sensors, awnings are a flexible, elegant solution for sun protection and light rain cover.
Why Choose an Awning?
✔ Retractable Shade On Demand
Enjoy the sun when you want it—and extend your awning for cool, shaded comfort in seconds. Retract it fully when not in use for a clear, open view.
✔ Fully Motorised Options
Control your awning with a wall switch, remote control, or even via smart home systems and mobile apps. Manual crank operation also available.
✔ Smart Weather Sensors
- Sun Sensors automatically extend the awning when bright sunlight is detected
- Wind Sensors retract the awning in high winds to protect it from damage
- Rain Sensors can trigger closure during light rain (though awnings are not suitable for heavy downpours)
✔ UV & Glare Protection
High-quality acrylic fabrics block harmful UV rays and reduce glare inside your home, keeping interiors cooler and protecting furniture from fading.
✔ Customisable Styles & Colours
Choose from a wide range of fabric colours, patterns, trims, and cassette finishes to suit your home or business branding.
✔ Optional LED Lighting & Heating
Create an inviting outdoor space for evening entertaining or year-round comfort with integrated LED lighting and infrared heaters.
