Patio Awnings
Patios are one of the most popular places awnings for homes are installed. A patio awning is a great way of increasing the usability of your outdoor space all year round. When the sun is shinning, it will provide some much needed shade, and if an unexpected rain shower rolls in, you can still enjoy your patio.
Electric Patio Awnings
If you have a little extra budget for your canopy, you can upgrade to an electric awning. The electric function takes the hassle out of extending and retracting your new patio awning. Some electric patio awnings even have built in sensors, which will automatically retract your awning to keep it safe if the winds become too strong.
Retractable Canopy
Many home owners are concerned that installing an awning will block light from entering their home. Whilst awnings for houses can reduce the amount of light flowing inside, there is a simple solution – choose a retractable canopy, rather than a solid design. Most retractable canopies are manually wound up and extended, but as we mentioned above, you can also choose an electric canopy.
Garden Canopy
As well as patio awnings attached to your home, you can also install a garden canopy. Whilst they have the same benefits of providing shade from the sun, as well as shelter for unexpected rain, they are normally free-standing. This provides far greater flexibility to where you can install a garden canopy, and also shouldn’t impact the light that fills your home.
Sun Canopy
The main reasons most home owners install a sun canopy is for the shade it provides. The sun can be glaringly bright and uncomfortably warm during summer, but you want to spend time enjoying the outdoors. A sun canopy will provide the shade you need, whilst still enjoying the benefits of being outdoors.
Awnings in the UK can be made to fit your unique requirements. Whether you need a certain colour, pattern or size, you are sure to find the perfect canopy. They are even available in different levels of transparency, depending on how much you want the sun to filter through.
