Made for the shade

With summer approaching, there’s no better way to enjoy the view of your garden than from beneath an awning

AS a space for relaxing and entertaining (or even an alfresco home office), the cool space beneath an awning is second to none. Moreover, in the heat of the day or in the cool of the evening, an awning creates the perfect place from which to enjoy the view of a garden, however big or small.

With a choice of electric and manual operation and a wide array of fabrics, Luxaflex’s range offers an ideal way to create a bespoke look that will enhance any garden terrace.

Luxafex’s Base plus lateral arm awning has a retractable arm that allows it to offer extensive coverage with a less dramatic pitch than a canopy. Other options include Italian-style awnings supported with two side arms and pergola awnings that have permanent sides.

When positioned over French doors, an awning will effectively enlarge internal spaces such as living rooms and kitchens. Luxafex offers a wide range of finishes to choose from, including metal, such as aluminium, which are the most hard wearing and can be matched to any colour. There is also a vast range of patterns and colours (including plains, stripes and woven jacquards), creating an opportunity to create a look that is as discreet or distinctive as you please. With the option of a remotecontrol morotised awning, choosing fabric could be the most work you have to do.
