The Victorian Awning
Traditional awning with classic lines & heritage features
This is a British Classic. It is timeless and perfect if you want to achieve a traditional styling. The Victorian box-lot shop awning, to give its full name, is as popular as ever, even within more modern settings, which helps create a tasteful and appealing contrast between contemporary and classic.
All our Victorian awnings are lovingly handmade, using hardwood, which can either be beautifully natural or painted to match your shopfront, and finished off with a classic canvas cover, though other fabrics can be used.

Finishes
Fabric Plain
We use the finest cloth. It is specially treated acrylic canvas that is Teflon coated to deal with the worst of the British weather. This secret process ensures that your awning is water-proof, rot-proof, shrink-proof and stain resistant with an additional anti-mildew treatment.
We also have a huge range of colours, as well as being able to match special colours.
Fabric Striped
Other combinations of colours also available.
Metalwork
All metal components are of the highest quality. We use stainless steel awning chain and our barrels are galvanised steel with high quality internal steel springs concealed inside. Arms are manufactured from high grade steel for extra strength. They are custom made for each individual application, tailored to follow the shape of the building upon which the awning will be installed.
There are over twenty metallic colour finishes for your metalwork.
Metalwork, non-standard finishes
Timber Colour
We always make the box that encases the cover and roller from solid timber not aluminium or steel replicas, which are common but inferior alternatives. We only use treated hardwood timber which resists warping and deteriorating. The box is given numerous coats of paint applied by hand to customers colour specifications. This is a selection of the most popular colours, please note, we are able to match any RAL colour.
Timber Stain
There is a choice of timber options including English, Jacobean and light oak, English and aged mahogany and Pacific cedar which can all be varnished to allow the natural grain to show.
