Retractable Awnings – Basic

When we say ‘basic’ we simply mean the awning has no extras and is primarily for the purpose of sun shading an area or room. Our basic awnings are of the highest quality manufactured in Germany or Holland as leading worldwide brands, developed in the same climate as our own and using the highest quality components and materials.

If we say that most retractable fabric awnings purchased for the purpose of sun shading a normal size patio or garden area are in-between around 2.5m wide and 5m wide and the projection varying between 2m and 3m for a basic awning – All our awnings are made to measure on the width.

So for a basic awning at around 3-5m wide and between 2m and 3m projection you would expect to pay between £1,500 and £3,000 plus VAT

Prices from £1,500 (based on 3m x 2m)

Retractable Awnings – Luxury

We use the word luxury to describe larger sized full cassette awnings with electric operation as standard and also with far more options available. Most of the higher end awnings we offer can be manufactured up to around 14 metres wide with a maximum projection of 4 metres possible.

Stronger and larger arms are used and they can be used in higher wind speeds with protection from light rain also possible.

A popular width has become around 7 metres more recently and this is the maximum width for an awning in one complete piece before they are ‘coupled’ which is effectively 2 awnings joined together. A lot of larger awnings are sold between 5m and 7m wide with a projection between 3m and 4m. The brackets for fixing awnings this size become very important and there are more of them so the wall they are fixing to is also more important for the right position and anchorage.

For a luxury awning between 5m and 7m wide and 3m and 4m projection you would expect to pay between £3500 and £7500

Retractable Awnings – LED lighting built in

With developments in LED technology and advances in awning designs the demand for LED light-ing is now very strong in awnings. The LED lights themselves emit excellent levels of light and make the awning usable into the evening either as an awning or simply a light bar.

The lights are dimmable from the hand transmitter and we offer several models now with either lights in the underside of the awning cassette, underneath the awning arms or in the front profile. it is also possible to buy ‘light bars’ as an additional time to an existing awning or pergola system.

A good example of a most up to date awning with LED lights would be the Weinor Semina Life and a popular size would be around 4m wide and a 3m projection.
