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.
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.
As Scotland’s top family-run shutter, blind and awning company, we have been delivering state-of-the-art solutions for luxury homes since 1987. We give you the information you need to make an informed decision without pushy salespeople. Just reliable communication, expert advice and phenomenal awnings.
When you choose our family-run business, you’ll get the highest quality workmanship and a long-lasting awning solution designed perfectly for your outdoor space, no matter the size or shape.
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:
Please see the pricing table above for costs.
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.
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.
