Solar powered awnings

Sitting above the kitchen bi-folding door is a beautiful contemporary looking awning. What better solution for a product that is used when the sun is at its hottest, than to use that very sun as the power source for the products operation?

One of the main benefits of the solar awning is that there is no hard wiring required and shading protection up to six metres wide and four metres out can be achieved with 2 solar panels and one battery unit.

This awning can offer shade and protection while the family are eating outside, and whether the homeowners are in or out, the awning can be left out on hot days to prevent any solar heat gain coming through the glass.

The cassette of the awning has been powered coated to the same RAL colour to match the bi-folding doors, and they opted for a black fabric to match in with the colour scheme.

Our solar powered awnings are available nationwide and you can view them in our Leeds and Milton Keynes showrooms.

Bioclimatic pergola

Because the family wanted to create another social space for themselves, they opted for a large 6m x 4m bioclimatic structure with an opening louvre roof from our sister company Exterior Spaces from Express.

Due to the location of the pergola the homeowners decided that they didn’t need access from the rear of the space so screened this off with our fixed glazing and used frameless sliding doors across the remaining three elevations of the structure.

The impressive space is complete with heaters and LED lighting and can be used and enjoyed year-round. The fantastic outdoor products from Exterior Spaces are available across Yorkshire and the Northwest and you can explore the many bespoke options and solutions inside and outside our flagship Leeds showroom.

What do the homeowners think?

The homeowner Jennifer Hanson sums it up perfectly

‘we love every aspect of it, it looks even better at night as the pergola lights up and so does the awning. The awning is such a great product, it looks great when its closed but this summer, we’ve had it out the whole time and it’s made such a difference. The kids absolutely love all of it, in the summer it feels like they’re never in the house. We loved our bi-folding doors when we got them all those years ago, but now we’ve renovated the whole space just feels complete, the garden and the patio just feel like a really valued part of the house’.
