Simple yet effective, awnings are the perfect solution to shading and protection from the unpredictable UK weather conditions, both for homes and commercial properties.

Not only do they offer practical benefits, but they also have the ability to improve the visual appeal of your home or business.

In this article, we’ll be exploring the different types of awnings and their uses, helping you find the perfect solution for your needs.

Commercial Awnings

Awnings are a fantastic option to take the look of your business to the next level, adding kerb appeal and a place where customers can take shelter from the unpredictable British weather conditions.

Common applications for commercial awnings include:

• Beer gardens
• Cafés
• Smoking areas
• Shop fronts
• Outdoor dining areas

At Aspiration Blinds, we have a number of awning types and designs to choose from, with the option to add your own branding to make your business stand out.

Domestic Awnings

Awnings are the perfect addition to any home, providing shelter and protection from the sun so you can enjoy your outdoor space all year round, while adding a touch of luxury to elevate the look of your home.

With a range of styles and designs to suit your aesthetic at Aspiration Blinds, you can find the perfect awning for your home.

Patio Awnings

Patio awnings are designed to extend over the patio or decking area of your garden. This can help to extend the living area of your home, providing a sheltered space where you can host parties and barbecues, or simply relax outdoors while being protected from the sun rays or light rain.

Conservatory Awnings

If you’re looking for a functional, yet beautiful solution to light and temperature control for your conservatory, then conservatory awnings may be the ideal choice for you.

Despite conservatories being one of the lightest areas of the homes, many homeowners avoid this part of their homes during the hot summer months as they offer very little protection against the hot rays during summer.

What’s more, due to the limited thermal insulation, conservatories can become very cold during winter, making them less appealing than warmer rooms in the home.

Fortunately, you can control the light and temperature inside your conservatory with a retractable conservatory awning. 

Conservatory awnings provide a filter for light and heat during summer to create a more comfortable area to sit in. They also retain heat in the winter months, providing added insulation so you can enjoy your conservatory all year round.

Balcony Awnings

Fixed to your overhangs, eaves or soffits, balcony awnings help you to maximise shade and privacy while enhancing the visual appeal of your home.

Veranda Awnings

Stylish and contemporary glass verandas are growing in popularity and it’s easy to see why. Combining style and function, veranda awnings are solid roof coverings mounted to your wall, supported by a solid frame.

Veranda awnings create a dedicated area to relax outside, whether you’re looking to host a party, chill out on outdoor furniture or enjoy al-fresco dining all year round.

Built onto your property, with brackets fixed to your outside wall, veranda awnings provide better wind stability and protection from harsh weather conditions compared with regular patio verandas.

With versatile extras available, including sliding glass balustrades and wind-breakers, glass canopies and verandas can also be used in even more changeable conditions.
