Shades of Comfort

Experience the joys of outdoor living, all year round

If there was ever a time to truly appreciate our homes' outdoor spaces, it's now. The challenge, of course, is that in the UK, the weather often makes this space unusable—whether it’s those rare scorching days when it’s too hot, or the far more common rainy days that force us to retreat indoors. But here at Shades of Comfort, we have the solution with our extensive range of awnings for your home.

No matter where you are in the UK—from London to Bristol, Cheltenham, Birmingham, or Gloucester—our products are designed to help you make the most of your outdoor areas, come rain or shine.

Whether you are dining alfresco, entertaining friends or simply spending quality time with your family in the fresh air, our products will allow you more time to be spent outdoors during the day and night.

Wouldn’t you like to be able to enjoy your outside space for much more of the year?

Cassette Awnings

Cassette Awnings are an enclosed awning where the roller, fabric cover and arms are completely protected and stored in a closed cassette when retracted. Fully cassetted awnings are a popular choice for the protection they provide, prolonging the life and the look of all the elements. Cassette Awnings can be manual or motorised to suit any building type.

Dutch Awnings

Dutch Awnings are so called, because they first became popular in Holland. All of Shades of Comfort Dutch Awnings or Dutch Canopies are made to measure and manufactured to your requirements. They are ideal for where a heavier awning is not practical or where you are looking to achieve a traditional look and feel. A Dutch Awning can be fixed or retractable. Where they are retractable, they can come either with a pull cord, crank or a remote controlled electric motor.

What are the benefits of a Shades of Comfort awning?

  • UV protection and more comfortable use of your outside space in the summer. Provides a sheltered outside space when it is raining.
  • Helps keep the inside of your property cooler as it prevents sun from shining directly on windows or patio doors.
  • Extends the amount of the year in which you can enjoy your outside space. They are low maintenance, easy to keep clean and easy to use.
  • Awnings can also help protect your external furniture and your internal furniture and carpets from bleaching.
  • Most of our awning models are bespoke and made to measure sizes which ensures you are guaranteed the perfect fit for your outside space. They offer you privacy from overlooking neighbours.
  • If used in a windy area, our awnings can be fitted with a motion sensor which will retract the awning if the winds get too strong for the awning to be out (only available on motorised awnings, not manual)
