We will be able to give you a more accurate timescale based on the options you choose.
What is the difference between full cassette, semi-cassette and open awning?
These descriptions refer to how protected the mechanism and roller are when you’re not using the awning. We will offer advice on which products are suitable for your design and budget.
- Open awning – in an open model, the mechanisms and rollers remain exposed. A protective cover box can be added to the awning. If you have a generous roof overhang and an enclosed garden, the installation may be protected from bad weather without any cassette casing.
- Semi-cassette – the top is protected from weather damage from above by a casing and the end offer an additional safeguard against rain damage and dirt.
- Full Cassette – these provide the highest level of all-round weather protection. The roller and arm system are completely covered when retracted, which shields them from dirt, wind and rain.
What are the different operation types?
Manual operation – this means you will extend and retract the awning using a winding handle.
Automated – your awning will have a built in motor. You will operate the awning via a push button or remote control, depending on the options you choose. Motorised awnings also benefit from additional options, including wind sensors and lighting.
What guarantee do you offer?
Our awnings come with a five year guarantee.
What can be done if my guttering is in the way?
We use a wide range of standard and specially made heavy duty brackets to overcome obstructions such as guttering and down pipes. These brackets allow us to position the awning exactly where it is required.
