Six key considerations in choosing an awning for your garden
1. Styling
The style of your patio awning or canopy is a key decision you have to make in terms of look and feel. Whether your perfect awning is traditional or contemporary – we have the range. Sometimes there are practical considerations why certain awning and canopy solutions may work better structurally. We are on hand with professional advice to help you make the best choice.
2. British Made Awnings
Deans Blinds are proud that all our classic patio awnings are British made. Each patio awning or canopy is hand-built in our London workshop. We use high-grade hardwood timber to manufacture our housings. The arms and brackets are steel-forged to exact specifications including any curvature. Finishes provide an additional level of resilience. All our metalwork is powder-coated and timber-work is hand-treated. Fabrics are solution-dyed to improve resistance to weather and extend the life span.
3. The Weather
The British weather is one of the key considerations for terrace and patio awnings. Trying to ensure an all weather outdoor experience through the seasons is key to enjoying your outdoor space and creating another living area. Our range of retractable awnings are a popular solution for a terrace and come with remote or manual operation. All our patio awning solutions are robust and are built to handle wind speeds of 8 on the Beaufort scale.
4. Totally Customisable
Your patio awning is a key statement in your new ‘outdoor’ living room and there are several considerations that will allow you to create your style. Firstly, the style, whether that’s contemporary or traditional, then we have the colour choices for fabric, metalwork and wood-stain – and if your imagination is truly fired, you can even have your own design printed on the fabric. Then of course there are the accessories. Valance, finials, fixings and brackets and last but not least, the operation which can be manual, fixed or remote-controlled.
5. Making an ‘Outdoor’ living space
Maximising your garden space has become increasingly popular and important. Creating another room in your home allows you to expand your living space, especially in the summer months. We have a number of stylish patio awning solutions for both large or smaller spaces. We have fixed and retractable awnings, free-standing modular systems, plus accessories like jumbrellas and directional infra-red heaters, which use 30% less energy than gas or quartz radiating heaters.
6. Sustainability
Sustainability is important to us and we try to ensure that the materials we use come from a sustainable source with the correct accreditations. We also have a dedicated Environmental Manager and their role is to ensure all staff adhere to our environmental policy, both at work and on site.
