Customising Your Awning

Sun & Wind Sensors

Our Awnings include sun & wind sensor options to instantly activate your Awning when the sun shines, providing shade and protection from harmful UV rays. Then once it starts to get windy, the wind sensor in your Awning will close automatically to protect it from wind damage.

Ask your local Apollo Blinds about our full range of Awning options.

Awning Heating & Lighting

Add lighting options to your Awning to extend your outdoor living into the late evening.

By adding all-weather heating to your Awning, you can also enjoy your patio and garden space all year round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy an Awning?

By blocking 40% to 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays (depending on fabric), an Awning makes your patio, garden, or outdoor area safer and more enjoyable. An Awning increases your outdoor living space whilst providing in-home shading for your property reducing glare, reflecting the suns heat, and protecting your soft interiors and furniture near patio doors and windows within your home.

How does an Awning retract?

Our Awnings can be operated manually via a removable hand crank. Most Awnings are motorised, allowing easier and more frequent usage opening with a simple touch of a button. Additional options include sun and wind sensors which open and retract your Awning according to the weather conditions.

How big does my Awning need to be?

We recommend adding 300mm to each side of the window or door that you are covering – making the Awning wider helps shade the area fully as the sun shifts throughout the day. The Awning projection should be the area you want covered plus 350mm – 450mm noting that the Awning will lose some projection based on the fitting height and pitch – our experts are on hand to explain this at survey.

Are Awnings wind sensitive?

Yes. Awnings are engineered to tolerate light to moderate winds when they are there full projection, the tensile strength comes from the Awning arms being at full extension. We recommend they are fitted with an automatic wind sensor to retract in stronger gusts and winds above those levels.

How do I maintain my Awning?

Awnings from Apollo Blinds require very little maintenance. If you live away from the coast, we recommend washing the frame and fabric once per year with mild soap and water but not detergent. In coastal areas where the air is salty, rinsing the frame and cover frequently during the year is also advisable to an annual clean. Your local Apollo Blinds can provide you with maintenance and warranty details in your appointment.

Can I use my Awning in the rain?

As the fabric is coated, a light rain shouldn’t damage your Awning but, if allowed to accumulate, the weight of water is a problem. Your Awning will be installed with the minimum recommended angle of pitch, allowing it to be used safely in light rain, as long as the water is not allowed to accumulate. However, your Awning should never be left in the rain unattended, as heavy rain could cause water to pool on the fabric and possibly stretch the frame and damage the fabric and arms.

I have seen Awnings online, how do yours compare?

Many Awnings sold online are not designed to withstand any wind force, our Awnings are made to last with premium durable fabrics and highly engineered parts. We are experts in the survey and installation of Awnings and will provide you with the full service from design to installation. We are proud to offer a 3 year warranty on Awnings whilst guaranteeing the motor for 5 years and fabric for 10 years.

How are Awnings fitted?

During your appointment we will review your property and advise how your Awning will be fitted, in some instances we may need to use bespoke fixings to provide a safe and secure installation or to overcome obstacles. Our experts can advise you on the fitting process during your home appointment.

What does an Awning cost?

There are a number of factors to take into consideration when calculating the cost or your Awning. Width, projection, fabric, motorisation or manual as well as a range of additional options such as window and sun sensors. All of these will be discussed with you during your Apollo Blinds appointment. We have also included a handy simple calculator on our Homepage to provide you with some guide prices.
