Awnings & Canopies Are Becoming Fashionable Again For UK Homes
It's quite funny but only recently I was talking to a retailer about awnings & canopies and how popular they were when we were kids. We both grew up seeing them front the high street shops in an assortment of dark colours and wrought iron framework. In this article we take a look at the return of awnings & canopies to the UK and how we are now choosing to use them in our homes as well as the high street.
Why Awnings Are Proving So Popular
Whilst I'm still in a nostalgic mood I would like to remind you how our grandparents used to take out the sun strip blinds and place them on the front street door when the weather warmed up each summer. To them it was a practical proposition in that like the shop keeper they were protecting their investment. Nowadays however we are more inclined to see awnings & canopies as possible fashionable accessories more so until we actuall start to use them.
That said of course if you actually spent a relaxing lunch under a cheerful canopy you are certainly likely to change your view. To me a decent canopy spells luxury and comfort. The idea that I can lol away a few hours under my canopy with subtle breezes finding their way under is just pure pleasure. For the uninitiated I can tell you that there is one other huge bonus when it comes to awnings & canopies and that is if you live in a neighborhood with windows overlooking your patio you will be delighted with the privacy they provide.
Electric Retractable Patio Awnings
Summer showers won't bother you and if you really have placed the canopy in the right position you probably have a door or French doors leading directly to the house so that you can come and go unperturbed by the English weather.
If you haven't used a canopy before just think back to when you were under a large umbrella and remember how it changes the mood. There are practical elements of course in that awnings & canopies protect you from the harshness of the sun whilst you are enjoying your patio.
If you have the funds go for an electric retractable patio awning as it is truly money well spent. At the end of the day it is easy to retract and save for when you are around to enjoy. The alternative is that you will have a fixed canopy that will wear out much quicker so it might actually work out cheaper to have an electric retractable patio awning to start with.
