Shop awnings and blinds in Northern Ireland
Before ordering an awning in Northern Ireland, we check the height above the pavement and what the highway or roads authority expects.
Cafes in the area can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Northern Ireland premises need. We inspect the wall at your Northern Ireland premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Northern Ireland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northern Ireland, including Antrim, Armagh, Ballymena, Bangor, County Down. Remote areas are by arrangement.
Can I put my logo on an awning?
Yes. Logos and names can be printed or sign-written on the cover or valance. In England, advertising on an awning can count as a sign, so check the advertisement rules, particularly on listed buildings or in conservation areas. We send a proof before the fabric is made up.
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.
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.
Do the same rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Rules differ in Northern Ireland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
