Need to shade your outdoor area to make it more enjoyable to use? Struggling to find awnings that will last through the years? Are you looking for a way to enhance your patio space with style and function?

Our luxury outdoor awnings deliver ultimate sun protection, easy use and stunning style that suits beautiful homes. Designed for any size area and with a range of upgrades including remote control, lighting and heating, we have an awning that’s ideal for you.

Why Choose An Outdoor Awning?

Customised Shade To Suit You

Our outdoor awnings offer intuitively designed sun protection, giving you a functional space. Whether you want to bring a hint of shade to a seating area or total coverage to a terrace, an outdoor awning is an ideal solution.

Automatic Wind Sensor Protection

All our awnings come with an automatic wind sensor. When the wind seems too high, it will retract inside its durable, powder-coated metal cassette to protect your awning and its fixings.

Sophisticated Lighting For Brighter Evenings

Why end your fun early just because it’s getting dark? Our awnings come with LED lights fitted into the arms, adding extra atmosphere to your evening and creating a sophisticated lighting effect.

Effortless Design That Suits Any Garden

When you’ve put so much time into making your home beautiful, you need an outdoor awning that will match your style. Realise your vision for your patio, balcony or poolside with an awning that works seamlessly with your architecture and garden design.

Base Plus Motorised Awning: Unbeatable Quality & Design

The Base Plus Awning is an incredible awning solution that does so much more than offer some shade. As standard, your Luxaflex Awning includes arm lighting, a wind sensor and a unique waterproof fabric created specifically to provide unbeatable solar ray protection. Enjoy your outdoor area like never before with total protection from the sun and light weather.

Pricing applies to installation in Central Scotland areas. Price upon request for other areas.

Awning Power Supply

Our awnings are powered by a Somfy 240-volt, double-insulated motor fitted inside the fabric tube. The motor can be at the right or the left. A 13-amp, 2-gang switched weatherproof socket should be installed by your electrician. (We can provide location instructions).

We strongly recommend that you use a registered electrician to install this socket.

Registered electricians in Scotland work to the UK national safety standard (BS 7671) and will give you a safety certificate to confirm that their work has been designed, inspected, and tested in line with that standard.

We Don't Do Shop Awnings

Shop awnings typically require local planning permission and may come under road traffic regulations as well. You have to bear in mind that the general public may be affected by your awning.
If you plan to add a logo or text to the awning, local outside advertising laws may also apply as you are, in effect, advertising to the public.
Applying for permission through your local authority can be time-consuming. This is probably why some shop awnings are fitted without the necessary approvals.

For these reasons, we ceased offering shop awnings a few years ago.

FAQs

Is My Wall Strong Enough For An Awning?

Not all walls are strong enough for an awning to be fitted. On average outdoor awnings can weigh around 80kg (the same as a baby elephant) and this weight hangs on the wall fixings used. Once your awning is extended this load increases, putting a huge strain on your wall.

As you can see, it’s incredibly important to have one of our experts decide if your wall can withstand this weight and ongoing stress.

If you’re unsure we can quickly determine whether your wall is strong enough for an awning. Please send the following to our awning experts here and we can give you our suggestions:

Photos of the intended location including the wall
An idea of the width of awning you would like
How far you would like the awning to extend outwards

Please see the pricing table above for costs.

Do You Fit Shop Awnings?

We don’t fit shop awnings. These types of awnings often require planning permission and an awareness of road traffic regulations and advertising laws. As these processes can be time-consuming and require specialist commercial knowledge, we have chosen to focus on our luxury home awnings.

Can I DIY Fit My Own Awning

If you’re considering a DIY fitting of any awning, please reconsider. Fitting should be left to the professionals, as we carefully and expertly survey your supporting wall beforehand to ensure it will be strong enough. Not only that, an awning must be fitted properly, as an extended awning puts a huge load onto the mountings and fixings. An improperly fitted awning can cause tremendous damage to your home and even injury or death.

Do You Offer Larger Awnings?

Yes, we can provide larger awnings to suit special situations. For example, if you wish to cover an extended length of wall with one streamline awning. We have other Luxaflex models available depending on your needs, so please get in touch to discuss larger awnings.

What Power is Required for an Awning?

Our awnings are powered by a Somfy 240-volt, double insulated motor, which is fitted inside the fabric tube. The motor can be at the right or the left. A 13-amp, 2-gang switched weatherproof socket should be installed by your electrician. (We can provide location instructions).
