Awning, frequently asked questions

HOW A BESPOKE AWNING CAN ADAPT TO ANY SPACE

Dencas’s sun awnings are bespoke, so we can accommodate a number of seemingly awkward specifications. Just because you may think your installation is complicated, it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your dream awning. Here are some common problems we can work around.

I HAVE A SINGLE STORY ROOF WHICH MIGHT NOT BE HIGH ENOUGH 

Each awning is installed at a pitch, so bungalows and single story extensions may not be able to accommodate this without bringing the awning out too low when it’s extended. In these instances our installers use brackets to raise the fitting to above the natural wall height.

I’M NOT SURE MY WALL IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT

Our surveyors will check whether your wall can support the awning before we begin the design process. It’s possible to spread the weight out along more points on the wall to reduce the weight each fixing has to bear.

I WANT TO COVER A LARGE AREA

Weinor’s Opal design 2, Livona and Topas can all cover huge spaces upto 12m in one unit.

It’s also possible to pair two (or more) awnings together. They have a special ‘junction’ segment to give the appearance of a single awning and can be operated at the same time, using the same remote control. Maximum projections usually range between 3m and 4m. If you need a larger projection, our narrow Stretch models or fabric roof terrace designs can help you achieve it.

There are many other circumstances we can also work around. Give us a call on 01244 348740 to find out how we can help.
