At Designer Shade Solutions we have a plethora of modern shading structures ideal for year-round weather protection, aesthetic design and increasing your property’s value. One of our popular products is the retractable fabric awnings, available in a range of structures, colours, and designs. Let’s run through the different retractable fabric awnings at Designer Shade Solutions, to help you select the perfect product.
Half Cassette Retractable Awning
First up, is our half-cassette retractable awning which features half a cassette that sits above the roll of fabric to protect from rain and dirt. This design is our most traditional, classic style which can be used in terraces or patios to shade from sunshine or shelter from the rain. Customise your half cassette awning by choosing from an array of colours and fabrics to suit your outdoor space.
Square Cassette Folding Arm Awning
Next on our list, is the square cassette folding arm awning, a unique design which can keep you protected outside no matter the season. This fabric awning features a square-shaped cassette and the new K70 folding arm which spans up to 13m wide and 4m in projection. To ensure your retractable awning keeps you comfortable and protected all year round, we also have a selection of waterproof options available. Our square mini cassette folding arm awnings are another option for residential or commercial spaces.
Round Cassette Folding Arm Awning
Perhaps you would be interested in our round cassette folding arm awnings, a similar design to the square cassette awnings, except this structure uses a round-shaped cassette to support the fabric. Each of our cassette awnings uses a cantilever design, meaning your awning can be attached to the end of your property without the need for poles to hold the structure together.
Why not consider the round cassette folding arm awning to create a sleek and sophisticated look on your terrace? Again, you can find our round cassette awnings as round mini cassette folding arm awnings, which span up to 5.5m wide and support a 3m projection.
Conservatory awning
We also have a wide range of awnings available at Designer Shade Solutions which are designed for conservatories including the traditional conservatory awning, conservatory zip awnings and the conservatory zip awning with posts. These structures are designed to help maintain an ambient temperature in your conservatory, by minimising heat and glare during the summer months, whilst trapping heat during the winter months. Our stylish conservatory awnings can be custom-made to your specification using high wind-resistant and waterproof materials to keep you comfortable all year round.
Drop arm awning
Another option within our range of awnings includes the drop arm awning, which creates an elegant touch to any property, particularly amongst storefronts and hopper windows. Our drop arm awnings are highly robust, efficient, and compact, creating perfect wind and weather resistance.
Markisolette awning
Our final option is a more unique design, which can be attached to any type of façade including windows and balconies. The Markisolette awning is angled downwards, allowing you to extend the structure to your desired point, offering privacy and softening natural lighting. Speak to our team about customising your awning to meet a specific criteria and we can help to create your dream design.
