From Moss Covered to Ready for Service ☀️

A great example of how a simple awning recover can completely refresh an outdoor area.

The existing awning fabric had reached the end of its useful life after years of exposure to the elements, resulting in heavy moss growth and deterioration.

Rather than replacing the entire system, the client chose a fabric recover. The result is a cleaner appearance, improved performance and many more years of use from the existing framework.

Recover projects can be an excellent solution for:
✔ Pubs and restaurants
✔ Hotels and hospitality venues
✔ Commercial premises
✔ Residential awnings

If your existing awning structure is still in good condition, a recover could be a practical and cost-effective alternative to full replacement.

🏢 When should external shading be considered on a commercial project?

Many would say once the building is complete.

We'd argue much earlier.

By considering awnings, pergolas and external screens during the planning stages, businesses can create more comfortable buildings, better outdoor spaces and more effective shading solutions.

Our latest blog explores why early specification can make all the difference.

🏪 Traditional shop awnings are making a comeback.

While modern folding arm awnings and pergolas often grab the headlines, traditional shop awnings remain one of the most recognisable and effective ways to transform a business frontage.

Whether fitted to a café, restaurant, bakery, pub, boutique or independent retailer, a traditional awning can:

☀️ Provide welcome shade
🌦 Offer protection from light rain
👀 Increase visibility from the street
✨ Add character and charm
🍽 Help create inviting outdoor spaces

The beauty of a traditional awning is that it combines practical performance with timeless style, helping businesses create a memorable first impression.

At Central Awnings, we support installers throughout the UK with quality traditional awning systems and trade support.

🌡️ Over 35°C was recently recorded at Kew Gardens in London — a reminder that hotter summers are becoming a reality for the UK.

As temperatures rise, external shading is becoming one of the smartest ways to make homes, patios, cafés and commercial spaces more comfortable.

Awnings and pergolas can help:
☀️ Reduce heat build-up
😎 Cut glare
🏡 Create cooler indoor spaces
🍹 Make patios and terraces more enjoyable

The European Solar Shading Organisation (ES-SO) believes external shading will play an increasingly important role in creating more comfortable and energy-efficient buildings.

At Central Awnings, we're proud to support installers across the UK with quality awnings, pergolas and external shading systems.

The British Red Cross recently highlighted that many UK buildings aren’t designed for very warm summers ☀️

As temperatures rise, overheating is becoming more common in homes, hospitality venues and commercial spaces — especially those with large glazed areas.

External shading can help make a real difference.

Awnings and pergolas help reduce direct sunlight before it reaches the glass, helping create:
✔ Cooler indoor spaces
✔ More comfortable patios
✔ Reduced glare
✔ Better outdoor seating areas

At Central Awnings, we supply quality external shading systems to installers throughout the UK.

British homes weren’t really built for heatwaves… ☀️

With larger windows, patio doors and more open-plan living, many properties can quickly overheat during warm weather.

That’s where external shading can really help.

Unlike internal blinds, awnings help stop the sun before it reaches the glass — helping to reduce heat build-up while also creating a far more comfortable outdoor space.

Perfect for:
✔ Homes & patios
✔ Cafés & hospitality venues
✔ Schools & commercial spaces
✔ Outdoor seating areas

At Central Awnings, we support installers across the UK with:
✅ UK assembled systems
✅ Trade support
✅ Assisted fitting available
✅ Fast turnaround times
