	External shading systems are much more efficient than internal ones for controlling heat gain and solar glare. Due to the path of the sun and the rotation of the earth, the angle of the sun changes from 14° in winter solstice to 60° in summer solstice. Shading systems must allow for these changing angles. Whilst external shading controls heat gain more efficiently, internal shading controls natural light. Our awnings are manufactured in Manchester, distributed throughout the UK and are priced in the middle to high end of the marketplace. They combine design, technical innovation and most importantly quality at a price that represents superior value. For many years the James Robertshaw name has been synonymous with awning systems offering both quality and innovation in the area of textile sun screening. The patented high-quality components from Austria have proved themselves in the marketplace thousands of times, either individually or as complete awning systems which are exported all over the world. All components are thoroughly tested, including gaining both CE and TÜV approval. By using the very best materials we can ensure that all our products have a long service life, even in extreme weather conditions. All models can be operated manually or electrically and can be equipped with wireless Sun & Wind Sensors, LED Lighting and remote controlled Tungsten Patio Heaters. In-house signage is available to our commercial client’s precise specifications. The awnings are available in kit form or as fully assembled units, which either we or one of our authorised distributors can install. Covers are available in hundreds of designs and colours and are provided as part of the assembled awning, or can be purchased separately. Delivery of all stock awning models is 10 - 15 working days from receipt of confirmed order. The awning hardware is guaranteed for 5 years and the cover for 1 year.

Solar Shading & Screening is a proven method of significantly reducing, and in many cases, eliminating solar heat gain. It effectively forms a barrier between the sun and the glass without reducing light into the building and vision out of the building for the occupants. By forming this barrier, the sun does not reach the glass and in turn create solar heat gain within.

Solar shading is not a new concept. It has been around for centuries starting with fabric awnings, more commonly seen on villa style buildings in Europe.

Today there are literally dozens of options, from modern interpretations of external fabric roller blinds to intelligent fin style louvre systems that, thanks to their own built in control system, follow the sun to achieve optimum protection whilst allowing maximum visibility.
