Premium quality
Delivering only the best to our valued clients. We only partner with renowned manufacturers, including Weinor and Sunfashion. Awnings are crafted with exceptional quality and built to last, using the most durable components available.
High-Quality Weinor Residential Awnings
We proudly supply premium Weinor awnings, renowned for their exceptional build quality, reliability and modern design. Manufactured to the highest standards, Weinor awnings are engineered to withstand the British climate while maintaining a sleek, elegant appearance.
Available in a wide choice of frame colours, fabrics and styles, Weinor residential awnings are designed to complement both contemporary and traditional homes. Every awning is made to measure, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation.
Motorised Awnings for Effortless Control
Motorised residential awnings offer the ultimate in convenience and ease of use. At the touch of a button, your awning can extend or retract smoothly and quietly, making it ideal for everyday use.
We install trusted motor systems from Somfy, allowing you to control your awning via remote control, wall switch or smart home integration. Motorisation is perfect for larger awnings and ensures effortless operation without manual winding.
Retractable awnings
Ideal for patios and garden seating areas, retractable residential awnings can be extended to provide shade on sunny days or shelter during light rain, then neatly retracted when not in use. This flexibility allows you to enjoy your outdoor space comfortably in changing weather.
Drop arm awnings
A classic awning style, drop arm awnings are popular for residential windows and balconies, offering adjustable shade while allowing natural light and airflow into the home.
Canopies
Residential canopies provide reliable, year-round protection for entrances, patios and outdoor areas, offering shelter from the elements while enhancing the appearance of your home.
Design and Customisation Options
Smart Weather Sensors for Peace of Mind
To protect your awning and give you complete peace of mind, we offer intelligent weather sensor options, including sun and wind sensors.
- Sun sensors automatically extend your awning when strong sunlight is detected, helping keep your outdoor space shaded and comfortable.
- Wind sensors retract the awning automatically in high winds, protecting it from damage when conditions change unexpectedly.
These smart features ensure your awning works efficiently and safely — even when you’re not at home.
LED Lighting for Evenings Outdoors
Extend your outdoor living well into the evening with integrated LED lighting. Discreetly built into the awning arms or cassette, LED lights provide soft, ambient illumination for relaxing nights outdoors.
Perfect for entertaining, dining or unwinding after a long day, LED lighting allows you to enjoy your patio or terrace long after the sun goes down — without the need for additional outdoor lighting.
Size and Shape
Size and shape are essential for the functionality and aesthetics of your awning. When designing a bespoke awning, we consider:
Size
The awning should cover the desired area for maximum weather protection and outdoor space utilisation.
Shape
Choose a shape that suits your building’s architecture and style. Popular options include:
- Traditional straight valance designs
- Curved or domed Dutch canopy style
Why Choose a Residential Awning for Your Home
A residential awning is one of the most effective ways to enhance your outdoor space while adding real, everyday value to your home. Unlike fixed structures, awnings offer flexible shade and shelter exactly when you need it, without blocking light when you don’t.
By creating a shaded, comfortable area outside, awnings encourage more time spent outdoors — whether that’s relaxing with family, entertaining guests, or enjoying al fresco dining. They also help protect outdoor furniture from sun damage and reduce heat entering your home through windows and doors.
With options such as motorisation, smart weather sensors and integrated LED lighting, modern residential awnings combine practicality with style. They provide a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that improves comfort, enhances your home’s appearance and allows you to make the most of your garden throughout the warmer months.
Expand Your Living Space Outdoors
Residential awnings effectively extend your indoor living space into the garden. By providing shade and shelter, they create a comfortable transition between inside and out, ideal for patios, decking areas and seating spaces.
Whether you’re hosting family gatherings, enjoying outdoor meals or simply relaxing with a book, an awning creates a versatile space you’ll use far more often.
Sun Protection for the Whole Family
Awnings offer excellent protection from harmful UV rays, helping to keep your family safe while enjoying the outdoors. By reducing direct sunlight and glare, they also help keep adjacent indoor rooms cooler, improving comfort inside the home during warmer months.
This makes residential awnings ideal for homes with children, pets, or south-facing gardens that receive strong sun throughout the day.
