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

Common questions
Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.
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.
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.
