FAQ
What are the benefits of installing an awning?
Awnings provide shade, UV protection, and rain shelter, allowing you to use your patio or deck more often. They also help reduce indoor temperatures, prevent furniture from fading, and add value to your property with a stylish exterior feature.
All awnings from Lloyds Blinds are built for performance, style, and durability.
Are awnings motorised or manual?
You can choose either. Manual awnings use a simple hand crank, while motorised versions operate at the touch of a button — or automatically with weather sensors. Motorisation is ideal for larger awnings or frequent use.
Lloyds Blinds offers both options, including smart-controlled systems for convenience.
What is a cassette awning?
A cassette awning has a built-in casing that protects the fabric and mechanism when retracted. Options include full cassette (fully enclosed), semi-cassette, and open styles, depending on exposure and aesthetic.
Lloyds Blinds supplies all cassette styles for the best balance of protection and appearance.
Can awnings help keep my home cooler?
Yes. By shading your windows and doors, awnings can reduce indoor heat build-up, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature and lower cooling costs in summer.
Lloyds Blinds offers solar-reflective fabrics designed for maximum heat protection.
Can awnings withstand strong wind?
Quality awnings are designed to handle light to moderate wind, but they should be retracted during strong gusts or storms to avoid damage. Wind sensors are available for motorised systems to retract them automatically for safety.
Lloyds Blinds installs robust awnings and offers optional wind sensors for added peace of mind.
Can I have lighting or heating with my awning?
Yes. Many modern awnings can include built-in LED lighting and outdoor heaters, transforming your patio into a space you can enjoy long into the evening.
Lloyds Blinds offers optional lighting and heating features with many of our awning models.
Can I integrate my awning with a smart home system?
Yes. Motorised awnings can be connected to smart home systems such as Alexa or Google Home for voice and app control. Sensors can also automate opening and closing based on sunlight or wind.
Smart integration is available across our motorised awning range at Lloyds Blinds.
How long does installation take?
Most residential awnings can be fitted in just a few hours, depending on size and location. Larger or motorised systems may take longer.
Lloyds Blinds handles the entire process, from survey to professional installation.
