The most common questions we get about awnings

    Why put up an awning outside the premises?

    1. To enhance and promote your brand.
    2. To add style and protect from weather.
    3. To prevent the sun shining through the windows.
    4. To encourage customers to sit outside.

    How do most awnings appear?

    1. They’re made up mainly of canvas material and vinyl.
    2. They’re electrically retractable or manual.
    3. They come in different shapes ie. victorian, dome shaped or concave.

    How do awnings get dirty?

    1. City pollution
    2. Tree sap / mould
    3. Birds
    4. Weather (rain / snow / wind)

    How to maintain the awnings?

    If you don’t keep the awning cleaned regularly the following things happen:

    1. Pollution / sap / weather become ingrained in the fabric. This is then hard / impossible to remove.
    2. Bird mess will permanently stain the fabric if left for more than a few days.
    3. A dirty awning can ruin the reputation of the restaurant / shop / bar.

    A clean outside encourages customers inside. A dirty outside turns them away!
