Excellent service from the start of the consultation process to the installation. I chose them upon recommendation from my very discerning building contractor who has electrically controlled Aquarius blinds and awnings installed in his own house. Well, I was certainly not disappointed! The Aquarius team are as friendly as they are professional, which made the whole process enjoyable, straightforward and very rewarding. The blinds all look superb and I can’t recommend Aquarius Blinds enough.

Learn more about electric awnings

While we are happy to fit any brand of the house awning at your home, we couldn’t recommend Markilux more highly. Markilux awnings are weather-resistant, robust and extremely versatile. The Markilux MX1 alone has been presented with three design awards for its innovation in design, reflective of the pioneering nature of the Markilux range. They include intelligent features and offer heat protection, sunscreen and weather protection to make outdoor living a dream come true.

Awnings can provide protection from the rain, but the extent to which they can do so depends on the model you choose. Retractable awnings and pergolas can be installed with water-resistant fabrics which offer a degree of water protection. However, please bear in mind that your awning can become damaged if used under heavy rainfall.

The material used is important in the weather resistance of your house awning or pergola. Canvas awnings can become saturated with water and damaged over time, but synthetic waterproof fabrics such as polyester or acrylic can be used in the rain. If you have a retractable awning, ensure that the material you choose is compatible.

Awnings can be fitted with weather sensors to offer added protection against bad weather, and we can advise you on the best models to choose if you want an extra layer of waterproof protection such as for commercial use.

Our team can help you decide on the best awning to suit your home, your budget and your lifestyle. Give us a call on 0208 288 1081 or send us an image of your space via our contact form and we’ll explore some options with you. 

Want to know more about awnings first? We’ve written a detailed awning guide to help you decide on the right awning for your requirements.

We offer an extensive range of awning fabrics, with hundreds of colours, patterns, and designs to choose from. There’s a choice of frame colours too, of course. And if you’re after something truly one-of-a-kind, we can even create bespoke colours to perfectly match your property. Whether you prefer a classic solid colour, a bold graphic statement, smooth or textured finishes, we have something for everyone. Importantly, all our awning fabrics are flame-retardant and UV-resistant, giving you peace of mind and ensuring your awning lasts for years to come.

At Aquarius Blinds, we don’t just offer awnings, we create customised outdoor living spaces. Imagine effortless shade control with an electric awning seamlessly integrated into your home automation system. Embrace eco-friendly living with a solar-powered awning.

Extend your enjoyment into the cooler evenings with integrated heaters and stylish awning lights. The possibilities are endless! Contact our team today to explore our extensive range of awning accessories and design your dream outdoor space.

Awnings can be installed in a variety of locations, from patios and terraces to conservatory and freestanding awnings. We also offer vertical awnings and skylight awnings that provide shade and weather protection.
