Awesome Awnings
Create an all year round entertaining space
AWESOME AWNINGS Create an all year round outdoor entertaining space
Gardens are fast becoming an extension of the home with more and
more people embracing a European lifestyle by eating, relaxing and
entertaining outside. And although temperatures are rising year on
year, our weather has yet to cotton on to our al fresco aspirations!
"A heatwave one day, torrential rain the next, the one thing that we
can count on when it comes to the good old British climate is its
unpredictability," says Sarah Quilliam, head of product design for
Hillarys. "Despite this we're keen to do what the Europeans do andspend more time eating and entertaining in the fresh air. Which is why we are seeing a significant growth in the sales of made to measure awnings. Originally intended to prevent strong sunlight
from fading soft furnishings, they are really coming into their own as a way to protect ourselves from the elements - be it the sun's rays or rain showers.
"Although the traditional stripy fabric awning still has the edge, contemporary styles and fabrics such as linen effect are becoming more popular, especially in period or more traditional properties," adds Sarah. Hillarys awnings are fully motorised, available with sun and wind sensors and available in a choice of over 60 stylish yet durable fabrics. In any width from 2.5m to 12m with free measuring and fitting, prices start from £1,495.
