Awnings

Just imagine – you, a cup of tasty beverage and it, the awning, right above your terrace! No sun beating down, no heat beating down, no rain beating down. Just enjoying the great freshness and cosy atmosphere! Don’t even doubt it, because a patio or balcony awning is a wonderful solution! It’s not just protection, it’s style. It’s also functionality. There are many types of patio awnings (e.g. vertical). Each one has its own features and advantages. But it’s up to you to decide which one to choose, and we at Craftsmecca are here to help!

Terrace awning – types and features

Although all the awnings are very similar, this is only at first glance. Not only do they differ from each other in colour or pattern, they also differ in technical specifications and other things. Awnings are therefore divided into types according to structure, mechanism, with or without LEDs, purpose and other factors. As a result, each awning has its own characteristics.

Awnings without cassettes. They are one of the simpler options. These awnings are much cheaper than other patio awnings. However, they are not inferior to other awnings with a higher price in terms of quality and additional features. For example, the Piano awning without cassette is available in smaller sizes, but the Mezzo awning is larger, as is the Forte. They are all available with LED lighting. Standard colours are: white, silver, anthracite, brown. The choice of fabric colours and patterns is really wide – from lighter and darker pastels to bright colours (red, black, green, yellow, etc.).

As always and everywhere, the classics are everlasting, so we also offer classic awnings(G200 Classic, G220 Classic box). They range from small to medium to large. There is a choice of basic colours, and awnings can be made to special order in any other colour you wish.

If you are undecided about whether you want cassette awnings or no cassette at all, then the so-called “happy medium” of semi-cassette awnings is the terrace awning. These come in different sizes. They also have LED lighting. They are also available in different colours and fabrics.

Cassette awnings for terraces or balconies, e.g. G500 Cassette, G700 Kyma. There is indeed a huge range, both in terms of extension length (from 150 cm to 400 cm) and width (from 200 cm to 1400 cm), as well as in terms of colours, which can be ordered individually. The functionality of such awnings is very good and there are additional advantages. This makes them significantly better than other awnings, whether side or balcony awnings or automatic awnings. The latter type is particularly good because it offers comfort, simply because it is an electric awning.

For those with conservatories, awnings are really useful! They are different from the usual awning, but also extremely robust. Not only the sizes, but also the number of brackets – 4 or 6. Of course, there is a wide range of colours and the possibility of customised orders.

The range of awnings is really wide in every respect (colours, fabrics, mechanisms, etc.), so you can choose the right one for your terrace, balcony, conservatory or other recreational spaces, as well as for commercial and retail spaces. The most important thing is that all of them, whatever the type, are high quality, durable and long-lasting!

Awnings for terraces – the advantages

One of the main functions of an awning is to protect you from sunlight and heat. Awnings in particular, whether vertical, on windows or on the balcony, are all installed to protect against excessive heat and strong light. This is important both for the balcony or terrace outside the building and inside it, to reduce the amount of light and, of course, heat entering the room, which is why awnings for windows are also needed. Anyone who has an awning is very happy about it, because it really does work. They even say that it is very nice to be at home in the summer because it is not so hot, and this is because of the awnings on the windows on the outside of the house. And there are a lot of good things to say about balcony and terrace awnings. Because for most people, the coffee break during the day and the tea ceremony in the evening take place under an awning!

Design. As there is a wide variety of awning colours, shades, patterns and fabrics available, it is easy to match the façade, which will make the exterior design look really great. Some awnings are minimalist and look very aesthetically pleasing, while others are like a striking accent to the house and terrace. There are even several variations in intense blue, for example! And there are many others, too, because the range of colours is really huge. So everyone can find the one that best suits the design of their existing house and that they like the most.

Robust construction and proven mechanisms, so quality and durability are guaranteed, as well as functionality. This is because all patio awnings are made from the highest quality materials.

Outdoor awnings are a very good protection against rain. All the more so because the fabric is also waterproof. So these awnings are also used in rainy weather. After all, you want to enjoy the fresh air even when the weather is gloomy, right?

Do you think the terrace could break due to accumulated rain? Absolutely not! Because awnings are strong, and they are almost intelligent, so to speak, because the sun and rain sensors allow the awning to unfold and re-fold. So you can rest assured that they are extremely safe awnings made of high-quality materials. This ensures long-lasting durability.

Awnings price

The price of a patio awning depends on various factors: size, materials and other components.

Firstly, the quadrature is calculated – the width and the length of the extension. It can vary from a couple of metres to several metres. The more square metres, the higher the prices.

Secondly, the price is also determined by the type of awning, the type of mechanism, the fabric and other materials. Awnings are divided into: side, outdoor, vertical, balcony, automatic, cassette, cassetteless, semi-cassette, classic, etc.

Thirdly, there is the added bonus of control, because there is both an electric awning for the terrace and sensors (sun, rain), which allow the awning to fold out and then in an automated way. There are also other things that make the design, functionality and quality much better, but also increase the price of the awning. But it is definitely worth it!

Even if the price is daunting but you really want the awning you have chosen, it’s not worth worrying about. After all, there is a great way out – the hire purchase option. This way, you can buy awnings for your terrace or balcony and enjoy excellent protection from rain and sun. You can also get awnings for less if there are sales or promotions. You just need to keep an eye on the prices of awnings.
