Outdoor spaces shape how we live. Places to relax, entertain, and connect with the world beyond our walls. But creating comfort outside requires shading that’s as thoughtfully engineered as the architecture itself.
Great awnings aren’t just for new builds. Whether you’re planning ahead during construction or upgrading an existing terrace, the right retractable system transforms patios, balconies, and garden rooms into usable, protected spaces.
Awnings should work with your home, not against it. Some projects call for fully recessed systems that disappear into the structure; others need beautifully engineered retrofit solutions that deliver high performance without undue stress on the building fabric. Both approaches can achieve exceptional results when designed with care.
For homes already lived in and loved. Retractable patio awnings offer instant comfort without invasive work. Choose from:
End‑fix awnings up to 6m wide
Multifix awnings up to 9m wide for larger terraces and open elevations
Multi-fix Valance options up to 6m wide with a 1.6m drop valance for added low‑angle sun protection
Slim, precise, and engineered for durability, these systems enhance outdoor living without altering the existing structure.
For homes being crafted from the ground up. Recessed awning systems up to 6m wide with a 3.6m projection integrate seamlessly at first‑fix stage, allowing the cassette to vanish into the façade. The result is pure architectural clarity. Shade when you need it, clean lines when you don’t. Perfect for contemporary homes where minimalism and structural integration are key.
Single‑storey extensions often lack ideal fixing points unless planned ahead.
Custom‑engineered bracket solutions spread loads safely and discreetly, ensuring secure installation even on challenging façades. Designed to protect both the awning and the building fabric.
Awnings become true outdoor rooms with the right enhancements:
Integrated LED lighting for evening ambience
Infrared heaters for cooler nights
Smart controls that respond to sun, wind, and your daily routine
Whether recessed or retrofit, your awning can connect seamlessly with leading home‑automation systems for effortless control.
Patio Awnings For The Home
Patio retractable awnings are enjoying a revival because they give homeowners simple, elegant control over light, heat, and comfort. They extend the home outward, creating a sheltered space that feels usable through more of the year while keeping interiors cooler and protected from sudden weather changes. Their smooth operation, tidy appearance, and ability to tuck away when not needed make them a natural fit for modern living, where flexibility and understated design matter more than ever.
Retrofit options include:
End‑fix awnings up to 6m wide
Multifix awnings up to 9m wide for larger terraces
Multifix Valance models up to 6m wide with a 1.6m drop valance for low‑angle sun protection
Not at all. Retractable awnings work beautifully in both new builds and existing homes. Retrofit models provide instant comfort without invasive work, while recessed systems integrate seamlessly during construction for a fully concealed architectural finish.
Retrofit awnings mount directly onto the existing façade and are ideal for patios, balconies and terraces. Recessed awnings are installed at first‑fix stage so the cassette disappears into the structure, creating clean, uninterrupted lines when retracted.
The film itself is rarely the weak point. Issues are usually caused by installation errors such as contamination under the film, edges cut too tight to the gaskets, or corners lifting over time.
Recessed systems can be manufactured up to 6m wide with a 3.6m projection, making them ideal for contemporary homes that prioritise minimalism and structural integration.
