An electric canopy for garden use offers a practical and attractive way to enjoy outdoor living in comfort. With instant weather protection, adjustable shade and a sleek, modern finish, it transforms how and when you use your garden.
At Caribbean Blinds, we manufacture and install a range of high quality, UK-made electric retractable awnings. Whether you want to reduce glare indoors, cool your living space or create a sheltered area for relaxing or entertaining, a motorised awning gives you complete control at the press of a button.
Why choose an electric retractable awning?
Unlike manual models, a motorised patio canopy opens and closes with ease using a remote control or smartphone app. You can stop it at any position, schedule its operation or link it to smart sensors that respond automatically to sun and wind.
Each awning contains a sealed Somfy motor with built-in radio receiver. When you send a command, the fabric unrolls or retracts at a steady speed, providing smooth and reliable movement.
This hands-free control gives you more than just convenience. It offers protection from harmful UV rays, helps reduce indoor temperatures and allows you to use your outdoor space more often throughout the year.
All our awnings are retractable and fitted with thermal cut-out and safety features that prevent damage. If a child plays with the remote, for example, the system will automatically pause after repeated use. Optional wind sensors will retract the canopy when gusts exceed safe levels, offering added peace of mind.
Quality materials and British engineering
Every electric awning from Caribbean Blinds is made to order in the UK using premium materials. The frame is constructed from powder-coated aluminium for strength and durability. The fabric canopy is made from water-repellent acrylic, available in a wide selection of colours and patterns including beige, charcoal and natural wood tones.
Compared to polyester, our acrylic fabrics are more durable, longer lasting and offer better UV resistance. Whether you are shading a patio, balcony or courtyard, we offer a solution that fits your space and complements your style.
Optional extras include infra-red heaters, under-canopy LED lighting and bespoke brackets for a secure fit in any location.
