ENHANCE YOUR SPACE

Options & Extras

Heating, Lighting, Motorisation & Specialist Installation Solutions. Choosing an awning is about more than just shade. With the right options, it becomes a fully functional outdoor space you can enjoy from morning through to evening — and across more of the year.

COMFORT & AMBIANCE

Integrated Heating & Lighting

Stay Comfortable from Day Through to Night

An awning shouldn't stop being useful when the sun goes down — and with integrated heating and lighting, it doesn't have to.

Outdoor Heating

Adding heating allows you to extend the use of your patio or terrace well beyond the warmer months. Whether it's a cooler summer evening or early spring, integrated heaters provide a comfortable, consistent warmth exactly where you need it.

Ideal for:

  • Relaxing outdoors later into the evening
  • Outdoor dining areas
  • Cafés, restaurants and hospitality spaces
  • Creating a more usable space throughout the year

It transforms your awning from a daytime feature into a true outdoor living area.

Built-In LED Lighting

Lighting is one of the most popular upgrades — and often the one customers appreciate the most once installed. Discreet LED lighting systems can be integrated into the awning, providing:

  • Soft, ambient light for relaxing evenings
  • Practical illumination for dining or entertaining
  • A more inviting atmosphere for guests or customers
  • A clean, built-in finish without additional fittings

The result is a space that feels just as comfortable and usable at night as it does during the day.

CONVENIENCE & CONTROL

Motorisation & Smart Controls

Effortless Operation at the Touch of a Button

Motorised awnings have become the preferred choice for most homeowners and businesses — and it's easy to see why. With smooth, reliable operation, your awning can be extended or retracted in seconds, with no manual effort required.

Benefits:

  • Simple control via remote or wall switch
  • Precise positioning of the awning
  • A cleaner look without a manual winding handle
  • Quick response to changing weather conditions

Once installed, motorisation quickly becomes something you wouldn't want to be without.

Weather Sensors

To take things a step further, motorised systems can be paired with intelligent weather sensors, allowing your awning to respond automatically to the conditions.

Available options include:

  • Sun sensors – extend the awning when sunlight increases
  • Wind sensors – retract the awning in stronger winds to protect it
  • Rain sensors – respond to changing weather conditions

These features help protect your investment while maintaining comfort, even when you're not actively controlling the system.
