Benefits of patio awnings:
Bespoke retractable awnings offer a stylish and practical solution for enhancing any outdoor space. Here’s why they’re a great choice:
Custom-made design
Every awning is custom made and designed to suit your individual space. From the width and projection to the operation and fabric colour, your awning is made bespoke to blend seamlessly with any style.
Effortless operation
Choose from simple manual operation or the convenience of a motorised option. Electric operation allows you to extend or retract your awning at the touch of a button, making it easy to adjust your shade throughout the day.
All-weather protection
Our acrylic awning fabrics provide protection from the sun but also light rain, helping you make better use of your outdoor space whatever the weather. We have a variety of customisation options, such as wind-detection, which helps the awning self-retract in harsher weather.
Energy efficiency
By providing shade over windows, doors and glazed areas, awnings can help reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering your property. This reduces the need for air-conditioning during the warmer months, but also protects your furniture.
Highly durable
Built to last with high-quality fabrics and components to withstand the elements. With the right care and maintenance, your awning can provide reliable shading for many years to come.
Extend your outdoor space
Create a more comfortable and shaded area for relaxing, dining or entertaining. Awnings help to extend your home or buisness to ensure they are more usable throughout the whole year.

Frequently asked questions about our bespoke awnings
What are the main benefits of installing an awning?
Installing an awning provides sun and weather protection, reduces indoor temperatures, and enhances energy efficiency. It also creates a comfortable outdoor space for dining or relaxing, making it a great addition to any home or business. Contact us today to learn more about our awnings and how they can enhance your space!
What are awning fabrics made from?
Our awnings are made from 100% solution-dyed Sunacryl acrylic fabric, rather than traditional canvas. The solution-dyed construction helps the colour remain vibrant and resistant to fading from prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain. Each fabric also features a CleanGard finish, helping to repel water marks, dirt and grease for easier day-to-day maintenance. The fabric can also block up to 95% of heat and glare, helping to keep your home, patio or outdoor seating area cooler and more comfortable on sunny days.
Are your awnings waterproof?
Yes. Our awning fabrics are designed from a waterproof acrylic as standard, providing protection from the sun and light rain. The fabric is 100% solution-dyed, protected from UV fading, water staining, dirt and grease marks. This makes them ideal for creating a more comfortable outdoor space, even when the British weather is a little unpredictable.
Do I need planning permission to install an awning in the UK?
In most cases, you do not need planning permission for a residential awning in the UK. However, if you live in a listed building or a conservation area, you may need approval. It’s always a good idea to check with your local council.
How much do bespoke awnings cost?
The cost of bespoke awnings varies depending on the size, operation and additional features. Use our contact form to receive a free quote, which will provide you with a more accurate price tailored to your specific needs.
Can your awnings be used for commercial properties like pubs and restaurants?
Yes, our awnings are ideal for commercial properties, such as pubs and restaurants. They offer excellent weather protection for outdoor seating areas and can be customised to fit your business’s style.
How long does it take to have a bespoke awning made and installed?
From placing your order to your installation date, we say around 4-6 weeks total lead time. On the day of installation, depending on the size of the job, this can take anything from a few hours to a full day to install.
How do I clean and maintain my awning?
To maintain your awning, brush off dirt regularly, clean the fabric with mild soapy water, and ensure it’s always dry. Check the mechanism and fabric often for proper function.
Can I operate my awning with a remote control or a smart device?
Yes, our motorised awnings are the most popular option amongst our customers. You can operate your awning with the provided remote control, but we also offer smart home hubs to connect your awning to your phone or home device, such as Alexa.
What warranty do you offer on your awnings?
We offer a comprehensive warranty on our awnings, depending on the product and materials used. The warranty covers manufacturing defects, providing peace of mind for your investment.
