Product information
Our awnings provide perfect shade to keep you cool on the hottest days whilst enabling the use of your patio even when the weather is less than ideal.
The patio becomes an extension to your home. Imagine being able to dine outside with friends or family on a warm summer evening or even in showery weather.
Awnings also provide protection from fading for carpets and soft furnishings without having to draw the curtains and lose your view. Control the light & add character to your windows.
A motorised awning provides extra comfort for the patio or terrace all year round. Add remote controlled lighting and/or heating to continue entertaining well into the night.
Safety features
When choosing your window blind, you want to know that it will complement your decor, give you privacy, and provide the shading from the sun that you require.
If you have young children, we encourage you to also consider the small safety features that can be added to your blind, to help prevent cords or chains from posing a potential hazard. Having selected your new blind, please refer to our list of safety features below, or contact your window blind retailer who will be happy to advise.
Cord Cleat
Can be used with Vertical, Venetian, Roller, Pleated and Roman blinds. This simple device is attached high onto an adjacent wall. The cords can then be completely wound round it, out of a child's reach.
Cord Securing Clip
This 'P-shaped' clip can be used with Vertical, Roller and Roman blinds. Mount it onto an adjacent wall and secure the cord/chain so that the loop cannot be easily reached.
Chain Tassel
For use with Vertical, Roller, Venetian and Roman blinds. You can eliminate the chain loop by using a single length chain with tassels attached to each end.
Cord Stop
Specifically for Venetian blinds, the cord stop is attached at the top of the control cord. Should undue pressure be placed on the cord running through the slats, the control cord will not feed back through the headrail to form a loop.
Breakaway Tassel
Primarily suited to Venetian blinds, the tassel will break apart if put under any undue pressure. Two separate cords mean that there is no potentially hazardous loop.
Mono Control
Mono control is a key safety feature of Vertical blinds. The chain and cord, used to rotate the vanes and open and close the blind, are replaced by a single rod.
Chainless Vanes
You can request sewn-in bottom weights on Vertical Blinds, eliminating the need for potentially hazardous bottom chains. Chainless Vanes are a standard feature of PVC Vertical.
INTU & Perfect Fit
Can be used with Vertical, Venetian, Roller, Pleated and Roman blinds. This simple device is attached high onto an adjacent wall. The cords can then be completely wound round it, out of a child's reach.
