Patio Awnings, Sun Awnings, Outdoor Awnings

Practical and stylish our folding arm patio awnings outstretch to provide a welcome roof to the outdoor area, offering protection from the ever changing ambient conditions. Shade is provided from the suns intense heat to keep you cool on even the hottest summer days whilst shelter is offered from those unexpected and often persistent rain showers*. Damaging ultraviolet rays are blocked providing optimum protection to the skin whilst harsh light is filtered to stop unwanted glare.

The adjoining internal room also benefits as our sun awnings stop the suns heat rays reaching the glass, reducing solar heat gain and naturally cooling the indoor space along with protecting furnishings from bleaching by the sun, all whilst maintaining the view.

Optional ambient accessories including LED strip lighting built onto the underside of our patio awnings which give offs a warm white glow and low glare infra-red heating where the heat doesn't blow away allow you to continue to use your patio awning long into the evening.

How our outdoor awnings work...

A retractable fabric canopy that outstretches from the façade - fabric rolled around a rigid galvanised steel rollertube is connected to the awning front profile which is subsequently attached to 2 or more (dependent on width, upto max 6) folding arms. The arms contain twin heavy duty sheathed stainless steel springs that attach to and are put under tension from hi-tensile tear resistant intertwined steel cables. When the motor is operated, these arms push against the front profile (lead rail), extending the awning and keeping the fabric taut at every position, giving our awnings a clean, sharp look as they project out. The arms and all components attach to a back profile which runs the full width of the awning.

Full cassette casings around the fabric barrel and folding arms on our retractable awnings protect the material and operating mechanism from all types of inclement weather when retracted, minimising maintenance and neatly hiding the solution away. 

A range of fixing brackets that are concealed behind the cassette awning casing allow a safe installation to all structure types. Bespoke brackets and even freestanding frameworks can be designed and produced to allow our awnings to be installed in even the most awkward of situations.

Awnings Designed, Engineered and Built to Last

Using extruded aluminium for the frameworks which is both corrosion resistant and highly durable, along with drop forging/pressure die casting for the joints and stainless steel components to hold everything together, our folding arm outdoor awning systems are strong and resilient, some would say over engineered, we simply say built to last, to withstand everything that is thrown at them.

Little details and finishing touches make all the difference. An endless array of finishes, styles, colourways and options are available to choose from allowing you to design your very own bespoke awning that is tailored specifically to meet your taste and requirements. Choose from hundreds of powdercoated hardware finishes to match or contrast window frames, doors, facades. Alternatively why not opt for stylish textured or metallic finishes that are both striking and eye catching.

For re-assurance and peace of mind all our outdoor awning systems are extensively and rigorously tested to ensure they will withstand the elements. Certified to both TÜV and European safety standards our sun awnings and patio awnings meet and exceed the most stringent quality tests, able to withstand windspeeds upto Beaufort 6.
