Our outdoor systems are crafted by leading manufacturers of motorised retractable glass, fabric and aluminium awning and screen systems. These systems can stand alone or be incorporated into our clients’ design requirements.
Tilting Louvre Roof Systems
Tilting Louvre Roof Systems provide the most versatile solution for outdoor dining at patios, restaurants, beer gardens and terraces during all weather conditions. These systems allow you to enjoy the sun and offer ventilation in warm weather, whilst being able to become weathertight and insulated if the weather radically changes. These systems can also be combined with vertical screens to create a comfortable outdoor room.
Retractable Fabric Roof System Awnings
Retractable Fabric Roof System Awnings offer outdoor spaces with the possibility of fully opening and closing its roof system depending on the weather conditions. These feature a lightweight structural design which enables a waterproof coverage of large open spaces, including terraces, patios, restaurants and beer gardens. These systems can be integrated with dimmable LED lighting, heating and motorised sliding glass windows.
Retractable Fabric Awnings
Retractable Fabric Awnings are the perfect motorised retractable solution to provide comfort and shade to any outdoor entertainment area. Even though these systems are robust and resistant to category 2 wind rating, they are also able to retract into small compact cassettes. These provide sun protection during the day and can feature integrated LED lighting at night for enhanced ambience.
Retractable Glass Roof Systems
Retractable Glass Roof Systems are the utmost luxurious and functional outdoor retractable solution, offering the perfect way to enjoy sun and rain indoors while taking advantage of the outdoor panoramic views. These glass systems are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. So, if you require a system to cover a house, a pool or a whole shopping centre, there is no better solution.
External Retractable Blinds
External Retractable Blinds are the most efficient method of controlling heat and light in a domestic or commercial building. These dynamic and innovative shading systems change throughout the day to help maintain the ambient temperature, providing occupants maximum comfort. These come available in various options which offer different levels of control, including motorised external fabric and venetian blind systems.
Retractable Vertical Glass Systems
Retractable Vertical Glass Systems give an uncluttered and open feel to any outdoor area by removing any framing such as stacking or sliding doors. These systems can be combined with our retractable systems to create dynamic outdoor spaces for residential and commercial buildings, which have different requirements depending on the season. These glass systems are available with double glazing to offer the perfect solution for outdoor areas during winter.

Automated, Flexible Control
Our retractable and sliding systems are the perfect solution to create versatile outdoor terrace and patio dining spaces by providing an upgrade to entertaining areas and guaranteeing seating for pubs and hotels in all-weather conditions. Our systems can be further complemented and enhanced with vertical glass screens with double glazing, plus with gas and electric heating systems. These systems have the ultimate goal of maximising the comfort and wellbeing of customers and visitors of outdoor entertainment areas all around the UK.
For modern and lightweight horizontal outdoor protection, our retractable conservatory awning systems and folding arm awnings are the best solutions. These sophisticated systems provide sun protection whilst offering minimal impact on the building’s design.
Our motorised retractable external blinds or screens and motorised retractable venetian blinds are the perfect options to manage and control sunlight and energy by minimising heat and energy gain. These are great solutions for commercial buildings which feature extensive glass or low sun issues. Additionally, these blind systems can be connected with building control systems in order to be automated or controlled via smartphones and tablets or via larger building management systems.
