An easy way to dress up your windows, retractable awnings add a touch of character and colour to your home’s façade. You can even customise your own individual flattering effect to match the décor of your outdoor area as all our external awnings come in a large range of hood designs and bottom trims.
A key benefit of these retractable awnings is their excellent performance against nature’s harsh elements, and exterior blinds screen the sun’s heat and glare more effectively than interior blinds. Tough, durable fabrics and fixtures retain their smart appearance and protective qualities season after season. Extend the longevity of your furniture and flooring while creating a visually lifting first impression with outdoor blinds and retractable awnings.
As the name suggests, the retractable awnings can be opened or closed depending on the time of day. Choose your control option from simple to operate manual winding cranks, ropes or poles, or even the brilliant convenience of motorisation with a remote control.
Select from a range of canvas fabrics that provide 100% UV blockout or retain your views and let light in your home by selecting one of our many external screen fabrics.
