Shades of Comfort
Let your pubs customers experience the joys of drinking and dining outside, all year round
People have come to really appreciate outside space, and awnings can be a great way to cater to this. If you own a restaurant, bar or hotel, our restaurant awnings or hotel awnings sections might be for you.
The difficulty of course with the UK is that the weather can all too often, make this space un-usable, whether that be from those all too infrequent days when it is too hot, to the far more common days when it is raining. Increasing revenues is the number one priority for most hospitality businesses and awnings help you achieve this goal.
Awnings are a cost effective and simple way of extending the capacity of your business immediately adjacent to your buildings, by providing a shaded and covered outside area for customers, protected from the sun and rainfall. This increases your capacity all year round but also extends your peak periods and seasons. This is particularly so when an awning is combined with our heating and lighting solutions.
Awnings can also make inside areas more comfortable and reduce the extent to which you need to use air conditioning inside your business, cutting costs and enhancing your green credentials.
In a high street scenario, awnings are of course an eye-catching marketing platform that allows your premises to be spotted from a distance.
We pride ourselves on the fact that each of our awnings bring you the finest craftsmanship and outstanding design values. Each awning is totally tailored to your requirements and will provide a professional and eye-catching solution for whatever the scale of your project.
Our hospitality range includes Box, Cassetted, Drop Arm or Dutch Awnings or canopies as they are sometimes called.
Dutch Awnings
Dutch Awnings are so called, because they first became popular in Holland. All of Shades of Comfort Dutch Awnings or Dutch Canopies are made to measure and manufactured to your requirements. They are ideal for where a heavier awning is not practical or where you are looking to achieve a traditional look and feel. A Dutch Awning can be fixed or retractable. Where they are retractable, they can come either with a pull cord, crank or a remote controlled electric motor.
Twin Fixed Awnings
Twin Fixed Awnings are a free-standing support structure that allows you to fit awnings on both sides to shade especially large open spaces. With this product, no walls are required to attach the awnings, and the awnings themselves can be opened individually as and when needed. Removable stone bases give the structure its sturdiness and flexibility; or the structure can be ground mounted. These awnings are particularly popular with the hospitality side to retail.
Drop Arm Awnings
Drop Arm Awnings are a very traditional canopy which are totally bespoke to suit any building. Not only do we supply & install new drop arm awnings, but we can also supply recovers for the canopies too. The Drop Arm Awning projection can be adjusted to any angle so that it provides a visually appealing look as well as shading.
Cassette Awnings
Cassette Awnings are an enclosed awning where the roller, fabric cover and arms are completely protected and stored in a closed cassette when retracted. Fully cassetted awnings are a popular choice for the protection they provide, prolonging the life and the look of all the elements. Cassette Awnings can be manual or motorised to suit any building type.
Box Awnings
Box Awnings are folding awnings that close into a protective pre-made case or box. When the awning is closed, the cassette box protects the cover and the mechanical parts against the elements. These are particularly popular with our retail customers.
