Types of retractable products for your home
Patio Awnings
Add charm and functionality to your patio with a residential retractable awning. Control the amount of sunlight on your patio to suit the demands of the moment, whether you wish to sunbathe or host a garden party lunch. On drizzly days, the awning allows you to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. A patio awning will add personality to your garden, with multiple colourways and fabrics available to complement your aesthetic.
Pergola Awnings
Pergola awnings offer the perfect combination of outdoor freshness and partial coverage, creating a versatile area for entertaining guests. The more structured nature of a pergola makes it ideal for creating a permanent feeling space. The addition of decorative features or climbing plants could be used to add a sense of whimsy to the pergola, if so desired. Pergolas provide a stylish extension of living area which enhances the enjoyment of your outside space, while adding value to your property.
Freestanding Awnings
A freestanding awning allows versatility and flexibility when it comes to positioning your awning. This option unlocks all the benefits of having an awning without the necessity of a supporting structure. Enjoy shade and shelter by installing a custom residential awning in your favourite spot in the garden.
Conservatory Awnings
Conservatories are a beautiful addition to your home, creating a bright, airy, open space to relax or spend time with family. However, on sunny days, conservatories can become hot and create some glare. Shade Space’s conservatory awnings are a stylish solution to create shade in your conservatory over the summer, allowing you to enjoy your space on warm days.
Vertical Blinds
Our outdoor blinds can be seamlessly integrated into your home’s facade, creating a sleek way of creating shade and countering solar penetration.
Residential awning benefits
Installing residential awnings provides you with the opportunity to enjoy your outdoor space, whatever the season. Residential awnings and canopies extend your living area outside, offer shade on sunny days and shelter from the rain. Upgrade your outdoor space with a residential retractable awning.

FAQs
In most cases, residential retractable awnings do not require planning permission. However, it may be applicable if it could impact a neighbouring property. It is worth contacting your council if you have questions about planning permission before beginning your project.
Shade Space stocks a vast range of colours and fabric types, so you can choose the perfect awning style to complement your space. Whether you want your awning to blend seamlessly into the background or create a bold, colourful statement, you’ll find what you’re looking for in our collection.
Our residential retractable awnings are specially designed to be water and dirt-resistant. However, some occasional maintenance will keep them looking fresh and new. Simply mix warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid and gently wipe down the awning. Allow it to air dry before retracting. There’s no need to use harsher abrasive cleaners as this may damage the fabric.
Our waterproof residential canopies and awnings are the perfect solution for using your outdoor space year-round, providing shelter from the rain.
Installation will normally take between 3-6 weeks, depending on the style and size of the awning you select for your unique property. Give us a call on 0203 924 0000 to discuss how we can solve your specific needs.
A motorised retractable awning can be adjusted to suit your needs, making it an ideal option for spaces with multiple functions. Retract the awning to soak up the sun or extend it at the press of the button to create a shaded area. It is also safer than a manual awning as it cannot be over-extended. In windy conditions, your awning will automatically retract, even if you are not watching it, providing peace of mind.
There are a number of important things to consider when selecting an awning, including local climate and weather. A key consideration is whether your building can support an awning structurally. Get in touch with our helpful team on 0203 924 0000 to discuss your vision for residential retractable awnings and what you hope to achieve, they will be able to advise you on what type of awning will be best for you.
