Questions People Ask About Our Awnings

What is an awning?

An awning is designed to protect people from both the sun and rain. They come in a wide variety of systems, sizes, and installation options. Outdoor awnings can be small, or have a big canopy to cover a large area.

Why choose an awning?

Awnings provide the ability to maximise space outdoors, whilst also providing solar protection that leads to the building’s overheating and unnecessary solar glare. Portable awnings are great for facilitating business meetings or family gatherings.

What are the best fabrics for awnings?

We recommend both Irisun acrylic fabrics and Serge Ferrari PVCs, that have been designed and tested throughout Europe, providing the highest quality and design options.

How are awnings installed?

Installation brackets are attached to either the wall or ceiling, in the desired location. In addition, where this is not achievable, a freestanding awning provides a solution where a building’s wall or ceiling is not available to fix to.

How long do awnings last?

With proper care, our customers enjoy them for many years. To support this, we offer a 5-year guarantee on all our products, as well as comprehensive aftercare from our team of experts.

Can awnings withstand the wind?

Absolutely. Many of our products are wind classified up to Wind Classification 3, even at projections such as 4 metres. If your installation is in an especially windy area, we recommend expert advice to choose the right product.

Do awnings offer sun protection?

Yes, they provide sun protection in two forms. People sitting under them enjoy the shade and they are also used to reduce unwanted heat gain from windows, doors, and glass rooms such as conservatories and atriums. Some awnings are designed to protect against low-lying sun.
