Custom Made Retractable Awnings
Refined manual, electric and automatic awnings designed for comfort, shelter and style across Norfolk and the surrounding areas.
Retractable Awnings for Flexible Shade and Shelter
Awnings should enhance your outdoor living, not just provide shade.
Our retractable, electric and automatic awnings offer flexible shelter, intuitive control and stylish performance, allowing patios and seating areas to be enjoyed in changing weather with comfort and ease.
Unlike fixed structures, retractable awnings preserve openness and light while still providing protection when needed. This makes them particularly well suited to patios, terraces and seating areas where versatility is key.
Each awning is carefully sized and positioned to suit the architecture of the property and the way the space is used, ensuring a clean, considered finish rather than an added-on appearance.
Durable Awnings with Custom Colour Options
Our awnings are designed for long term outdoor use, combining durable construction with finishes that complement the character of your home. Fabrics and frames are selected for their ability to perform reliably in changing weather while maintaining colour, structure and appearance over time.
A wide range of colour options allows the awning to integrate seamlessly with existing architecture and outdoor finishes, whether you prefer a subtle, understated look or a more defined visual contrast.Â
Integrated Awning Features and Controls
Modern awnings can incorporate a range of integrated features designed to improve comfort and ease of use. Remote control operation allows simple adjustment, while optional automation enables the awning to respond to changing conditions.
Motorisation
All awnings are available with manual operation as standard, using a discreet winding mechanism. For greater ease and everyday comfort, many clients choose to upgrade to a motorised system, transforming how the awning is used.
A motorised awning can be enhanced with smart technology, including sun and wind sensors that allow it to respond automatically to changing conditions. In strong winds, the awning retracts automatically using vibration sensors or an anemometer, helping to protect the structure. When sunlight increases, a light sensor can extend the awning to provide shade and reduce heat, ensuring the outdoor space remains comfortable without manual adjustment.
Heating
Our Rio Grande infrared heaters are designed to integrate seamlessly with awning installations, providing comfortable warmth beneath covered outdoor spaces. Fully weatherproof and supplied with an integrated safety guard as standard, they allow seating and dining areas beneath awnings to be enjoyed for longer, even as temperatures drop.
Discreet in appearance yet effective in performance, these heaters complement retractable and automatic awnings without detracting from the clean, refined look of the space.
LED Lighting
Integrated lighting adds a subtle but transformative layer to an awning, extending its use well beyond daylight hours. While awnings provide shelter from the sun during the day, discreet LED lighting creates a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evening, ideal for relaxed dining or unwinding with friends.
Adjustable LED light strips can be seamlessly incorporated into the awning arms and dimmed to 50% brightness, allowing the level of illumination to be tailored to the mood and occasion without overwhelming the space.
Awning FAQs
What is the difference between a retractable awning and a fixed canopy?
A retractable awning allows the cover to be extended or retracted as needed, offering greater flexibility and preserving openness when shelter is not required.
Can awnings be automated?
