Install an awning in the winter time? Why not?
During the winter, you are most likely spending more time indoors and may ignore any outside property improvements. You may be thinking about adding a new awning next spring, but by planning and ordering an awning in the winter, you may discover that you can enjoy some unique perks. Here are several reasons why installing a patio awning in December, January, or February is a good idea:
1. Availability
Summer months see significantly more installations and contracting works than the winter months. Since many homeowners have the same idea to add a new awning to their property throughout the summer, the spring and summer months are the busiest. A winter awning installation, on the other hand, is more likely to provide a flexible date to install your awnings. That is why now is such a good time to consider installing a residential awning.
2.Savings on your energy cost
We all know how unpredictable the British weather can be, so getting your awning installed now will allow you to enjoy it as soon as the weather warms up. When the spring arrives, having an awning in place can help you save money from fans or air conditioners bill right away. Awnings provide shade, allowing less direct, blazing sunshine into your home. If you choose a winter awning installation and have your awning in place before the warm spring and summer days, you will be able to take advantage of the savings for the entire sunny season.
3.Promotion
Ordering with us this winter will save you £££ on any Awnings, Verandas, Glassrooms, Canopies or Pergolas, you are eligible to get the offer of up to 50% off LED lighting!

Markilux Awning Textiles
Awnings Designed to Last
Dyeing
Markilux offers sunsilk and sunvas, both of which are made with high-tech polyesters, offering fantastic UV radiation protection. These materials are the future of awning fabrics, with impressive longevity and fantastic self-cleaning properties.
Developments in the dying process have also meant that the range of colours is now much wider. Previously, colours would have to be dyed in huge quantities, meaning only a few colour options were available, however colours can now be printed in much smaller quantities, making them far more cost-effective.
Both the sunvas and the sunsilk materials are environmentally friendly, and completely non-toxic. All Markilux fabrics are certified with the ‘Okotex’ label, confirming that they adhere to Oko-Tex Standard 100 regarding harmful materials. All technical values have been tested in Germany by the manufacturer, but also independently to confirm the technical characteristics.
Bonding
Markilux’s ‘ultrasonic bonding’ process is a marked improvement on other styles of joining fabrics, particularly for the purposes of awnings and blinds.
Markilux also refer to a ‘holohedral’ bonding process, which has replaced the older method of stitching panels together, offering a number of benefits. By bonding the panels together, the lifespan of these awnings is increased, as the thread that weathered and perished over time is no longer used. This thread was also susceptible to wearing when coming into contact with the bearings, which is no longer a concern.
The bonded panels also no not let water or light through at all, which the stitching join did. Being bonded instead of stitched also means the finish is smoother, which leads to less wear when being operated, extending the lifespan of Markilux awnings even more.
Note: If you wish to have your fabrics stitched rather than bonded, it must be made explicitly clear when ordering. Some conservatory awnings cannot be bonded, and are stitched as a result.

London Roof Top Installation
Samson Awnings have just completed the roof top installation of a Weinor Pergotex system on the 7th floor of an office block in central London. Due to the high and exposed location the Pergotex was chosen as it has a tested capability to deal with winds up to Beaufort scale 8 and with the PVC cover coupled with lateral support bars the system has a high level of fabric tension enabling it to withstand heavy rainfall too.
The location is stunning and the area has been designed for corporate hospitality for the clients offices.
This attractive addition to the London skyline can be viewed from every major central London building.
The Weinor Pergotex is one of the products Samson Awnings regularly install for all year round weather protection but with the added advantage of being able to fully retract the fabric roof system when the weather dictates. The fabric roof is fully automatic with various control systems for operation and safety systems in case of extra high wind conditions.
The tough PVC fabric roof is further strengthened with aluminium support struts along the width and in this installation 2 units were coupled together for a large cover of approximately 70 square metres!!
The front and sides can be filled with various optional systems such as vertical blinds, sliding glass doors and so on to truly create an outdoor room area for many people to use all year round.
The aluminium framework is prefinished in a choice of colours and the rainwater is directed into a front guttering profile where the water is dispersed down one or some of the support legs and out to clear the covered area.
With the fabric roof fully retracted the Pergotex still looks smart on any building, gone are the days of multiple support tubes across the width making the framework overpowering and unattractive when not in use.
Markilux Pavilion discontinued
