In the UK, summers can feel fleeting, leaving us wishing we had more time outdoors. But with a Weinor awning, you can continue to enjoy your outdoor space well into the cooler months by creating a sheltered spot that protects you from the elements.
Benefits of a Weinor Awning in the colder seasons
With a Weinor awning, you gain a covered outdoor area where you can spend more time outside, even when the temperatures drop. In the UK, we spend up to 90% of our time indoors – wouldn’t it be nice to change that? A Weinor awning allows you to enjoy your garden while protecting yourself from unpredictable weather, allowing you to enjoy fresh air for longer throughout the year.
Protect yourself from light showers
The unpredictability of British weather is something we’re all familiar with. One minute the sun is shining, and the next you’re running inside to escape an unexpected downpour. But with a Weinor awning, you won’t have to flee indoors. Simply extend your awning, and you’ll be able to keep yourself and your garden furniture dry without missing a moment outdoors.
Shelter from breezy days
While an awning isn’t designed to handle extreme winds, it can certainly offer protection on those breezier days. If the wind picks up but isn’t strong enough to warrant a weather warning, your awning will help shield you from the gusts. To take your wind protection to the next level, consider installing a side awning for added coverage and comfort.
Keep your evenings warm and bright
As the days grow shorter and the evenings get chillier, you might be tempted to stay inside, but don’t let the change in seasons drive you indoors just yet! With a few warm blankets and a cup of tea or hot chocolate, you can still enjoy your garden on those crisp evenings. To really make the most of your outdoor space, you can even install a heater on your awning, keeping things warm and toasty. Add in some LED lighting, and your garden can remain a cosy, illuminated sanctuary long into the evening.
Motorised options for easy retraction
Weinor’s motorised awnings offer convenience, allowing you to retract them with the touch of a button or even from your phone. Some awnings even come with built-in sensors that can detect wind levels and automatically retract when the weather takes a turn. So, whether it’s rain or wind, you won’t have to worry – you can retract your awning quickly and easily without leaving the comfort of your home.
Which Weinor Awning should I choose?
Patio awning
A patio awning is the go-to choice for most homeowners with small to medium-sized gardens in the UK. When extended, it creates an outdoor living space that acts as an extension of your home. When not in use, it retracts neatly into a cassette attached to the exterior wall, providing a clean, streamlined look.
Pergola awning
If you have a larger garden and are looking for a more permanent solution, a pergola awning could be the right fit. Unlike patio awnings, pergolas aren’t retractable. They offer a sturdy structure that can be installed anywhere – not just against the exterior walls of your home. They’re particularly resilient in windy conditions, so if you don’t want to worry about retracting your awning during gusty weather, a pergola might be your best option.
Conservatory awning
Conservatories are beautiful additions to any home, but they can become uncomfortable with extreme temperatures. A conservatory awning helps you manage these temperature fluctuations. On hot days, it provides shade, keeping your conservatory cool and breezy. On cold days, it adds a layer of insulation, helping to retain heat and reduce energy bills. You can choose between roof-mounted or under-mounted conservatory awnings, both of which are retractable for added flexibility.
Balcony awning
For those living in flats or homes without a garden, a balcony awning is a perfect solution. Whether retractable or permanent, balcony awnings offer protection from the elements while also helping to keep your home cool by shielding the windows from direct sunlight. A Weinor awning can transform your balcony into a comfortable outdoor space, even in cooler or rainier weather.
Window awnings and vertical awnings
Unlike patio or pergola awnings, window and vertical awnings don’t extend outward. Instead, they are installed directly on your windows or conservatory walls, acting as external solar shading. These awnings prevent your home from overheating on hot days by blocking the sun’s rays and provide insulation on colder days. Vertical awnings also offer more privacy, with some designs allowing you to see out while blocking views in.
