Retractable Awnings and Canopies from Awnings.ie allow home and business owners to take more control of the Irish weather and increase their seating areas outside.

They provide welcome protection against the sun, drizzle, light winds and harmful U.V. rays which can also fade and damage outdoor furniture and building facades. When passing showers threaten, or when the sun gets too hot, they can be unrolled to provide near-instant protection and shade.

Test measurements have shown that it can be as much as 7 degrees cooler under an awning’s canopy than in direct sunlight and because awnings prevent the sun from shining through windows and sliding glass doors, they can keep temperatures inside cooler as well, which often saves on air-conditioning costs.

Restaurants and bars make great use of the outdoor or roof areas of their premises by creating extended and stylish seating sections covered and protected by awnings or canopies which can be branded with their own logos and images thus creating greater advertising exposure.
