Shop awnings and blinds in Suffolk
A motor with a wind sensor suits staff who are too busy to watch the weather, and owners across the East of England can add one to a Suffolk order.
A traditional blind can suit a period building, so owners in the East of England can ask us to match a fascia box to their Suffolk premises. If your Suffolk window faces the sun, an awning can limit fading on stock and make the front of the shop more comfortable.

How much does it cost in Suffolk?
Expect £895 to £3,495 ex VAT per awning. We inspect the wall at your Suffolk premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Suffolk?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Suffolk, including Bury St Edmunds, Felixstowe, Ipswich, Lowestoft.
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.
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.
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.
