Shop awnings and blinds in West Midlands
Cafes in the area can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your West Midlands premises need.
If your West Midlands window faces the sun, an awning can limit fading on stock and make the front of the shop more comfortable. Before ordering an awning in West Midlands, we check the height above the pavement and what the highway or roads authority expects.

Common questions
Do you cover all of West Midlands?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Midlands, including Aldridge, Bilston, Birmingham, Bloxwich.
Do I need planning permission for a shop awning?
Often yes in England, since an awning can change the appearance of the frontage, and lettering on it can need advertisement consent. Highway approval can also apply. Listed buildings need extra consent, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check before ordering.
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.
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.
