Shop awnings and blinds in Northamptonshire
A motor with a wind sensor suits staff who are too busy to watch the weather, and owners across the East Midlands can add one to a Northamptonshire order.
Before ordering an awning in Northamptonshire, we check the height above the pavement and what the highway or roads authority expects. A traditional blind can suit a period building, so owners in the East Midlands can ask us to match a fascia box to their Northamptonshire premises.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Northamptonshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northamptonshire, including Corby, Daventry, Kettering, Northampton.
Can an awning stay out in the wind?
No, awnings should be retracted in high wind, as most are designed for shade and light rain. Wind sensors can retract motorised models automatically. BS EN 13561 gives wind resistance classes, so ask which class applies to your product.
Will an awning protect my stock from the sun?
Yes, it reduces the direct sun reaching the window display, which helps limit fading, and it can keep the front of the shop cooler. Results depend on the direction of the frontage and the projection of the awning. A light-coloured cover lets in more daylight.
How high must an awning be above the pavement?
It depends on the highway authority, but 2.3 to 2.75 m above the pavement is common, measured to the lowest point of the awning or valance. Most also want a clear gap from the kerb. We check with your authority before we set the position.
