Over-glass Awning Installation in Worthing, Sussex
Our client in Worthing, Sussex contacted us to ask for assistance in reducing the heat in their kitchen caused by two large glass roof lanterns. They advised they have looked for solutions with other companies but the advice was so mixed that they were confused by the information.
Pergola awning Installation in Reading
Our brief was very simple and to the point – Our customer required an awning to run the full 8.5 meters across the back of the house and cover the terrace area to provide shade and rain protection from above as well as low sun in the evening that shone directly into the lounge.
Pergola Installation in Purley, Surrey
Our client, Mr W, contacted AQ Blinds looking for coverage for the terrace area at his house in Purley, Surrey.
The project brief only really detailed the problem the client had. In addition to this, the fitting area was a single-story part of the house and a single awning (without special spreader support plates) would have also caused a structural problem. The area was approximately 8 meters by 5 meters with York flagstone paving.
