The British weather is always an important factor in your awning choice. This is especially so with regard to restaurants and pubs, where outdoor dining and drinking is a key element. A retractable awning provides your business with the perfect flexibility, offering protection from rain or much needed shade from excessive heat. Our wide range of retractable options allow us to tackle any size space. Some retractable solutions have smart weather sensors options, that will automatically open when rain starts and retract when it stops. A further weather-related service we provide to all our customers is email warnings for ‘Amber & Red Weather Warnings’. This helps our customers to respond to adverse weather conditions.
6. Terrace Coverings
Retractable awnings are essential for both commercial and residential terraced areas. They provide year round protection against sun, wind and rain. When fitting your retractable solution it can either be fixed to the structure or use a free-standing framework. Most of our retractable terrace solutions are modular, so any size space can be covered. They are also totally customisable and robust.
