Customer Approved: Easy to Use Motorized Awning

More great feedback on our highly efficient and professional installation teams, this time from the Clements family in Canterbury, Kent, following the installation of our heavy duty Cuba model patio awning to their single storey living space.

“Thanks … for your charming ‘Team’ who have made a marvellous job of installing the new Awning . . . Not only is it beautiful, and working just as we’d hoped, but also the ‘wi-fi’ control system is a dream to operate, and without chopping holes in the plaster to run extra cables . . . an unexpected bonus for us all here! If and when we get round to thinking about a 2nd blind for the Kitchen window, we know where to go.  And in the meantime, we will highly recommend Caribbean Blinds to anyone who is interested.”

A particular focus in this review is the easy to operate motorised control system our patio awnings are equipped with. Clever hardworking motors with built in radio receivers mean all our external shading systems are effortlessly operated via a hand held remote control or wirefree wall switch, meaning there is no need to run trails of cables to and from control switches and boxes to operate your product. Just a single power cable to the closest, most discrete plug socket.

Furthermore adding a Tahoma smartbox to your installation – find out more here – will enable you to operate your awning effortlessly via your smartphone anywhere you have a wi-fi connection. This is a great feature if you’ve popped out on an overcast day and then the temperature suddenly rises – send your awning out so when you return home your property is nice and cool. And thanks to a discreet wind sensor built onto the front profile of all our awnings, if it gets too windy the awning will automatically take itself away back into its protective casing.
