FAQs

An awning is a fabric or metal covering that’s typically attached to the exterior wall of a building, extending over windows, doors, patios or shopfronts. It provides shade, shelter, and a touch of style to your property. Awnings can be fixed or retractable, manual or motorised – giving you plenty of flexibility depending on how and when you want to use them.

A canopy, on the other hand, is usually a larger structure that can either be attached to a building or freestanding. It’s supported by posts or a frame and is designed to cover wider areas like pathways, school entrances, car parks, or outdoor seating zones.

Canopies and awnings offer numerous benefits for both homes and businesses. They create comfortable outdoor spaces by shielding people from harmful UV rays and light rain. This means your garden patio or business frontage can be enjoyed throughout the year. By blocking direct sunlight, they reduce heat gain indoors, which can significantly lower air conditioning costs.

Yes, high-quality canopies and awnings are designed to be weather-resistant. They are typically constructed from durable materials such as acrylic fabrics, polyester blends, and aluminium frames. These materials are UV-resistant, water-repellent, and engineered to withstand various weather conditions, including sun, rain, and wind.

However, to maintain their longevity, it’s recommended to retract retractable awnings during extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, or strong winds. Full cassette awnings provide added protection by enclosing the fabric and mechanisms when retracted, safeguarding against weather damage.

Absolutely! Awnings and canopies play a significant role in reducing energy costs by blocking direct sunlight from entering windows and doors. This shaded area helps keep indoor temperatures cooler, reducing the need for air conditioning during hot weather. Studies have shown that awnings can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees, leading to noticeable savings on energy bills.

Yes, awnings and canopies are versatile solutions suitable for both homes and businesses. For residential properties, a retractable patio awning can create a comfortable outdoor living space perfect for relaxation and entertainment. For commercial establishments, such as cafes, shops, and restaurants, canopies and awnings offer functional and aesthetic advantages. They can be branded with logos and designs, providing both shade and advertising.

Keeping your awning or canopy in good shape is quite easy and makes a big difference to how long it lasts. Regular maintenance not only keeps it looking fresh but also ensures it functions properly year after year.

Start by brushing off leaves, dirt, and debris that might accumulate on the surface, especially after windy days. A gentle wash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge now and then will help keep the fabric looking clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material or affect waterproof coatings.

Yes, Talbot and Sons offer customisation options to tailor your awning or canopy to your specific style and functional needs. You can choose from various colours, patterns, and sizes to match your property’s exterior. Custom features, such as remote control operation, integrated lighting, or branding for businesses, are also available.
