Traditional awnings in Kensington

Traditional awnings, just like the fine wines sold here by The Huntsworth Wine Co. in Kensington, will always last the test of time. Deans have been making these traditional awnings for 126 years (it was our birthday in August!) and we still make them in the same way’  with a hardwood box, carefully painted to match the client specification, and robust steel arms in Victorian black. There are some differences however; we now insist on only harvested wood sources, the paints we use are water based (unlike the lead based paints of the 19th century) and the traditional arms are powder coated to a resilient finish in our own powder coating facility.  This particular traditional awning has been further enhanced by the tasteful branding which has been applied to awning valance through the use of our special RAGS® branding process which has ensured accurate colour reproduction and a sharp graphic outline. The fabric cover has been  are treated to be both UV and soil resistant which will ensure a long lasting appearance and both of these properties are accomplished through the means of environmentally safe applications.

The Huntsworth Wine Company is a classic, truly independent, wine merchant, offering wines from across the globe, and specialising in Bordeaux and perfectly mature Grand Cru Classé at sensible of prices.
