Shop awnings and blinds in Wales
A motor with a wind sensor suits staff who are too busy to watch the weather, and owners across the area can add one to a Wales order.
If your Wales window faces the sun, an awning can limit fading on stock and make the front of the shop more comfortable. We inspect the wall at your Wales premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Wales?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Wales, including Aberdare, Aberystwyth, Bangor, Barry. 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.
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.
Do the same rules apply in Wales?
Rules differ in Wales, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
