Awnings for Schools
Children enjoy playing outside in the fresh air, but carers must ensure that they are protected from the elements and damaging UV rays. A high quality awning will provide a safe and sheltered area, will protect from the sun and rain, will keep a building cool, prevent furnishings from fading, stop glare and transform the exterior appearance of the building.
Commercial Awnings
Many commercial businesses can benefit greatly from an awning. In addition to providing shelter from UV rays and the elements, awnings can create external dining areas, smoking shelters, sheltered seating areas on patios and drastically improve the look of a building. The awnings will also keep the interior shaded and cool on hot days and will prevent internal furnishings from fading. Leisure, hospitality, retail and commercial office sectors are responsible for over 80% of all air conditioning uses in the UK. Correctly sized and fitted awnings are an effective way of controlling heat and light entering a building and can reduce a business’s carbon footprint.
Domestic Awnings
A domestic awning can create a completely new living space for any home. An awning can allow the home owner to spend more time outdoors without being affected by the unpredictable British weather. A high quality SWR awning will create shelter, protect from UV rays, provide seclusion and privacy, keep the property’s interior cool, prevent fading of furnishings, stop glare and add a stylish feature.
The product range includes:
Awnings
SWR provides a wide range of awning options for domestic and commercial clients in various sizes, fabrics and configurations. The awnings are all available with manual or automated operation.
Classic Awnings
The classic Bahamas awning is suitable for any application and is constructed around an extruded aluminium back which allows for multiple brackets and fixing points to be positioned throughout. The elegantly finished flush fitting full cassette casing ensures that the fabric and components are protected from the elements and insects when closed. The Bahamas hardware is available in white, brown or black in widths of up to 13m and a projection of up to 3.75m.
Freestanding Awnings
The Haitian freestanding twin awning comprises two Bahamas awnings mounted back to back and fixed on a goalpost-type aluminium framework that can cover an area of up to 36sq/m. There are two base options available which allow the uprights to be recessed into the ground or located within a galvanised steel self-supporting base.
Tortola Modern Awnings
The Tortola is a modern rugby ball shape style suited to applications with restricted space. The awning is available with white or brown hardware in a width of up to 5.5m and a projection of up to 3m. The full cassette casing protects the fabric and components from the weather when closed.
Streamline Awnings
The streamline flush-fitting Barbados awning is ideal for installation directly to a smooth flat wall. The open back cassette provides good protection to the awning from the elements when closed. The Barbados is available in brown or white hardware with a maximum width of 5.5m and projection of 3m.
Crossover Awnings
The Grenada awning can achieve a greater projection than its width due to its crossover arms. The Grenada is an open design, but with an optional protective coverboard that protects the fabric from the weather when retracted.
Awning Accessories
To complement the range of awnings, SWR also offers a range of accessories including halogen lighting, Aruba heating elements, privacy screens, shade sails and promotional barriers.
Parasols
Parasols are ideal for sun shading as they can be moved as the sun moves. The Guadeloupe is a single parasol mounted on a heavy duty mast offset to the side and can pivot up to 300 degrees. The Montego allows four parasols to be mounted off one mast to offer coverage of 26.5m². There are eight plain colours to choose from and they come with a protective cover.
Window Canopies
The Jamaican window canopy can add style and colour to a property or business. The adjoining internal room will benefit from shading and a reduction in glare whilst still allowing light to enter. The canopy is built from a lightweight acrylic fabric, with an extruded aluminium framework and white glass filled nylon adaptors. Various shapes and sizes are available within the range.
Exterior Screens
The Antiguan Zipscreen exterior screening effectively blocks excessive sunlight and solar heat from entering a building or area. It can also act as an insect screen and provide additional privacy. Zipscreen is available in a range of dim-out and black-out fabrics. Zipscreen features a zip that runs along the edges of the material to keep the fabric locked into the extruded pvc channel located within the side guides. The Antiguan is available in widths of up to 4m and height of up to 3m with manual, electric or fully automatic operation.
Exterior Roof Blinds
The Cayman roof blind is ideal for keeping conservatories and glass roofed buildings cool and shaded, reducing interior temperatures by up to 10 degrees C. The slim lateral guides support the cassette headbox and an air gap between the guides ensures there is no heat build-up. Hi-tech cables run through the guides and into the front rail to ensure that the fabric remains taught. The front rail is located in the lateral guides to allow the blind to open and close smoothly. An optional extension of 1.25m over the front of a structure offers additional protection from the sun. The blinds are available in widths of up to 5m, projections of up to 6m and electric or fully automatic operation.
Shade Sails
Shade sails are a fun and attractive feature that provides a sheltered and shaded area. The woven acrylic fabrics offer unbeatable UV protection, water repellence and is protected from mould and fungi growth. There are six designs to choose from and the sails can be anchored from virtually anything such as buildings, posts and trees. The sails are available in 4.5 x 4.5m and 5.5 x 5.5m.
