What we say about awnings

  • Benefits of an awning

    • Awnings extend outwards to provide flexible shade over your patio or outdoor seating area
    • Pergola awnings extend further with fixed posts for extra stability. They're ideal for larger patio spaces
    • The retractable fabric fits neatly into a protective cassette when not in use, to keep it looking good for longer
    • Electric awnings are simple to operate with a remote. Add a Somfy Smart Hub to control via an app or by voice command through your smart home system

  • Things to consider

    • Always retract your awning when it's not in use to prevent damage from the wind and the rain
    • If you're looking for a more permanent structure, take a look at our pergolas - they provide fixed outdoor shading
    • Awnings must must be mounted to a flat wall, your advisor will work through the right location with you
    • Understand how the sun moves across your garden throughout the day - the shade your awning provides will depend on the season, the time and the direction your garden faces

How our service works

  1. Book an appointment with your local advisor. It’s really quick and easy to do and there’s never any pressure to buy.

  2. We’ll visit you at home to show you our range and help you decide what’s right for you. We’ll measure up and give you a quote.

  3. When you're happy to go ahead, our exterior team will visit, take a survey of your outdoor space to ensure your awning or pergola awning is the right.

  4. We’ll take care of the installation. Once your awning has been made our exterior team will be back to install it and we’ll tidy up after ourselves.
