Patio Awnings
Extend your living space into the garden
Luxaflex folding arm awnings with Somfy motorisation, LED lighting, and automatic wind sensors. Measured and fitted by The Scottish Shutter Company.
Outdoor Living
Make the most of your outdoor space
Even in Scotland, a good awning transforms a patio or deck into usable living space from spring right through to autumn. Whether you want shade on a sunny afternoon, shelter from a light shower, or protection from the wind while you eat outdoors, a patio awning makes it possible. The difference between a garden you look at and a garden you actually use often comes down to one thing: overhead cover.
Modern awnings are nothing like the manual, crank operated designs of twenty years ago. Today's systems are fully motorised, extending and retracting at the touch of a button or through your smartphone. Built in sensors detect wind, sun, and rain, adjusting the awning automatically so you never have to worry about it. When retracted, a full cassette design protects the fabric completely, keeping it clean and extending its life for years.

Smart Home Integration
Somfy motorisation as standard
Every awning we supply comes with Somfy motorisation built in. There is no upgrade cost, no optional extra. Motorised operation is the standard because manual awnings simply do not get used.
Somfy IO technology connects your awning to the wider Somfy ecosystem. Control it from a wall switch, a handheld remote, or through the Somfy myLink app on your phone. Set schedules so the awning extends automatically on sunny afternoons. Pair it with sun and wind sensors that respond to changing conditions without any input from you.
Voice control works through Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you can extend your awning without leaving your chair. If you already have Somfy shutters or blinds in your home, your awning joins the same system and the same app.
App Control
Extend and retract from your phone using the Somfy myLink app.
Sun Sensors
Automatic extension when the sun reaches a set intensity.
Schedules
Programme daily or weekly schedules for automatic operation.
Voice Control
Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
Hardware Colours
Six standard colours, any RAL available
Every awning comes in your choice of six standard hardware colours at no extra cost. Need a specific RAL colour to match your property? That is available too.
