Patio awnings and patio sunblinds for the home

The terms "patio blinds" and "patio awnings" are generally interchangeable in common use when describing domestic awnings for the home terrace and the distinction between the two has become very vague. We have simply used the term patio awnings to describe all home awning and sun shade solutions.
For great value Deans patio awnings and external sun blinds for the home cannot be beaten - we manufacture many of our fine quality retractable electric and manual awnings right here in our Wandsworth, South London factory.
At Deans we install all well known makes of awnings including Markilux and Weinor patio awnings and the range of Italian all weather pergola awnings.
Patio Awnings
Retractable awnings are always generally purchased for reasons of providing shade where you can enjoy the outdoors and not have to bother with sunglasses or the glinting rays of the sun, to prevent furnishings fading, or reduce the temperature of the home, and they can provide an outside entertaining area. Patio awnings can be of the flat sheet variety for example like the Monarchpatio awning, or the traditional Victorian awning, or the canopy type eg. The Dutch blind or canopy. Patio awnings can be electrically operated and can be fitted with automatic wind and sun sensors.
Pergola Style Awnings
These are a relatively new innovation and Deans is really proud to exclusively distribute the Italian terrace awning, which is installed on its own attractive Pergola style timber frame. This awning is reliably ideal for extending terraces or patio decks and this type of patio awning able to withstand up to Force 9 winds, presenting an opportunity to extend the outside dining entertaining season into those normally wet and cold weather months.
