When we talk to people about canopies, an awning is normally their first thought. If you walk down any UK high-street you will see them on shops helping to protect from the sun.
There are two major designs – retractable cassette awnings and more traditional Shop, or Dutch, awnings.
An awning is there to protect from harmful UV rays. They are used extensively to provide shade over windows helping to reduce glare within the room. By shading the glass, you are also helping to keep the room cool (much more efficiently than internal blinds or curtains).
As specialists in outside canopies, shelters and awnings, Outside Structure Solutions (incorporating Covered Outdoor Solutions) are a leading supply and installation company offering permanent outside covered classroom areas for the education, leisure and retail sector.
Outside Structure Solutions has many years’ experience in providing the right canopy to suit almost any application, and our multiple ranges mean that the choice is extensive and we are not tied to a single product or supplier.
For the education and school sector our structures are designed to be either free-standing or building mounted to enable a free flow of play from inside your classroom to outside which is becoming more important for a good OFSTED report. In addition they can be used to augment existing dining and recreation areas.
For the commercial sector, the range is more extensive and will include “traditional” awnings as well as retractable terrace covers. There are also jumbo umbrellas as well as smaller timber-framed umbrellas and garden gazebos. These will all mean that a terrace can now be used to extend the eating area by reducing the impact of the weather.
But our canopies are more than this: they can be an entrance, a statement, a get-away or just an umbrella – the choice will be yours.
Outside Structure Solutions’ installation team are skilled in working with you to ensure that your dream becomes reality. Outside Structure Solutions will be pleased to install the canopy, awning or shelter of your choice, giving you access to the outdoor space you have always wanted.
