 Ideal for home, commercial and office applications! Retractable Awnings & Shading Systems

Soak up the sunshine with an awning!

Syston are proud to be a distributor of the Winsol range of awnings and shading systems.

Awnings keep your home cool whilst creating comfortable shade or protection outdoors, all year round. So if you want to make the most of your house and garden, it’s simple – get a Syston supplied awning and start to enjoy that continental lifestyle!

Shade is a must in summer and can mean a warmer, more relaxing outdoor environment on cooler days. An awning will extend your living space into the garden. You will be able to entertain guests and dine outdoors, or you can simply lie back and enjoy the fresh air, even if the weather is unpredictable.

That is not all though. The addition of an awning to your home will protect your carpets, curtains and furniture from fading through prolonged exposure to the sun, whilst preventing the indoors from becoming uncomfortably hot and stuffy.

 5 year guarantee Our awnings offer you that extra bit of luxury, combining the strength and quality of a British manufactured product with over 100 years of design expertise from Winsol as Europe’s leading name. Dedicated to quality and customer service, we also offer a five year manufacturer’s guarantee on the mechanism, fabrics and product.

And, as our awnings come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles with hundreds of colours to choose from, you can be sure that our range has the perfect solution every time.

Our awnings are also suitable for use over your office windows. Working with your ventilation systems on the hottest days, awnings will save you money. They will also help to eliminate glaring sunlight from computer screens whilst still offering the ability to work by natural light.

Fabrics

With over 200 exclusive fabric designs from the world leading Dickson Constant range to select from, you can be sure that your awning will look great anywhere. Ranging from subtle pastel shades to a variety of more vibrant colours in plains or prints, all you have to do is choose!

All our fabrics are 100% solution dyed acrylic, which makes them resistant to fading and damage caused by the most variable weather conditions found anywhere in Europe. Additional fabric treatments are also available, such as waterproofing and fire resistance.

Optional Extras

All our awnings can be customised to meet your individual requirements.

You can choose from a wide selection of colours for your cassette, enabling you to further enhance your overall home and garden design. (White and Brown are standard colours).

We also offer the world leading range of Somfy electric motor operators, which make extension and retraction of the awning an even easier task. Spoil yourself further by adding the fully automatic ‘Soliris Sensor RTS’. Sensors will change the awning settings, bringing the canopy in during wind, automatically protecting the awning from extreme weather and providing security, as potential burglars will think the house is occupied even when you are out!

The standard manual winding option, with its detachable winding handle is simplicity itself to use.

Products

The Winsol range of awnings combine quality and choice at affordable prices. Our elegant and stylish designs are perfect for any patio. Select from a range of lightweight products with a maximum projection of 3.5 metres to the more heavyweight designs, offering a versatile choice ideal for use anywhere that is open to the elements.

For smaller patios we recommend you select from our Sombrero range, available in standard sizes up to 4.5 metres wide. This fully enclosed cassette awning can also be custom made to your exact requirements up to 4.5 metres wide.

Verandasol

 

Electrically operated outdoor roller blind with side channels for sloping roof conservatories.

Compact and discreet head box with narrow side channels.

Available in a range of models to suit most applications.

Safe mounting: The reaction forces, caused by the constant tension applied to the fabric, are completely absorbed by the solid side channels and the strength of the front profile. Thus no additional pressure is applied to the glass roof.

The fabric is kept under constant tension thanks to the spring tension system built into the front profile and side channels. A gearbox allows easy adjustment of the spring tension.

The mounting brackets are adjusted to each kind of conservatory, veranda roof, glazing or bay window.
