Electric Awnings

Awnings can provide protection from the rain, but the extent to which they can do so depends on the model you choose. Retractable awnings and pergolas can be installed with water-resistant fabrics which offer a degree of water protection. However, please bear in mind that your awning can become damaged if used under heavy rainfall.

The material used is important in the weather resistance of your house awning or pergola. Canvas awnings can become saturated with water and damaged over time, but synthetic waterproof fabrics such as polyester or acrylic can be used in the rain. If you have a retractable awning, ensure that the material you choose is compatible.

Awnings can be fitted with weather sensors to offer added protection against bad weather, and we can advise you on the best models to choose if you want an extra layer of waterproof protection such as for commercial use.

Our team can help you decide on the best awning to suit your home, your budget and your lifestyle. Give us a call on 0208 288 1081 or send us an image of your space via our contact form and we’ll explore some options with you.
