Retractable Patio Awnings

Retractable Patio Awnings for the home are available as a full cassette, semi-cassette or open cassette unit in either a manual or electrically operated format.

Our sun protection patio awnings are manufactured by leading companies such as Markilux, Weinor and Lakeland Awnings.

These companies are renowned for beautiful designs, high-quality awning construction and luxurious awning covers.

Both The Garage Door Centre and Samson Awnings deal with the surveying, supply, installation, servicing and post-installation care of all things awnings.

We can offer awning units up to 14m wide with a 4m projection.

The perfect to cover those large spaces which feel the direct heat of the sun but require shade and protection from our very changeable weather in the UK.

Retractable Awnings with Drop Down Valance

Patio awning with shadeplus drop down valance cover the majority of our retractable patio awnings are available with a drop down valance to effectively protect against a low lying sun and drafts.

Especially useful during sunrise and sunset, a drop down valance has more than 1 use.

A drop down valance can be used to prevent light winds effectively due to its weighted bottom to keep it steady - they can even be used to keep out the eyes of nosey neighbours.

Valances can be operated manually or powered automatically.  Both processes are fast, efficient and easy.

 Manual operation is provided by means of a twist crank.
Automatic operation is by means of a remote control set and a built-in motor.

Retractable Awnings with Built-In Lighting

Built-in Lighting systems are the perfect way to create a warm ambience on your patio.

With fully tilting halogen light fittings, directional light is achieved so you can create a variety of different lighting effects.

Lighting components can be built into either the front profile or in the main cassette depending on what effect you desire.

LED lighting is now common in all high quality awnings and obviously is very low on running costs as well as having extremely long bulb life capability.

Built-In Lighting systems can also be used for commercial purposes to extend the use of exterior areas long into the night.

Very popular with restaurants, built-in lighting systems are also very popular with pubs and hotels.

Garden Glass Rooms

A Garden Glass Room enables you to embrace the day when the sun is out, and be protected from the rain on a miserably day - all behind high-quality protective panes of glass. Create a unique outdoor room that can be used nearly all year round and captures the beauty of your garden and outdoor living area.

Created by German manufacturers Weinor, the Garden Glass Room is an intricately designed glass room which offers you unobstructed panoramic views of your surroundings with protection from the weather.

Our glass rooms allow you to remain fully protected against the wind and rain, yet remain fully interactive with your garden space which creates a calm atmosphere and develops into a peaceful area - a perfect way to sit back, relax and unwind after a long day at work. 

Glass sections can remain vertically fixed or can slide or fold to create an open space to cope with larger crowds e.g.. parties, gatherings.

The system is modular and you can add many extra items to enhance your outdoor room at later dates as you learn to utilise it fully with the ever changing weather in the UK.



 

Glass Canopy Veranda Roofs

A glass canopy veranda roof is a permanent structure designed mainly for patios to optimise the use of your garden area throughout the year.

Our showpiece glass canopy veranda roof is the Weinor WeiTop Terrazza.

Constructed with a simple and strong aluminium frame and glass panes of the utmost highest quality, the Terrazza is also available with glass side panels to transform it into a garden glass room (shown above).

This means valuable garden furniture can be left outside without the risk of water damage. Furthermore, heating and lighting options are available on request meaning the Terrazza really can be used 365 days a year.

They are available with a selection of sun conservatory roof awnings to control shading and temperature fluctuations to suit your tastes.

A cantilever side-arm umbrella (pictured right) is supported by an offset supporting arm - perfect for covering dining areas or patios.

A wall-mounted umbrella is exactly as it's named. They are fixed onto the wall and ideal for areas with minimal space for foundation supports.
