Awnings, Pergolas & Screens: Control the Heat with Central Awnings

As temperatures rise it's more important than ever to use shading.At Central Awnings, we’re passionate about helping customers across the Midlands enjoy more comfort, style and efficiency from their homes and outdoor spaces. Our specialities – awnings, pergolas and external screens – are increasingly in demand as temperatures climb and homeowners look for smarter shading.

According to the BBSA, solar shading is essential for preventing overheating, especially in modern homes with large windows and open-plan designs. Our external shading solutions block the sun’s rays before they hit the glass – far more effective than relying solely on internal blinds or curtains.

We supply and install a range of retractable awnings – perfect for patios, garden seating and bi-fold doors. With motorised controls and smart sensors, they adapt to changing conditions, adding convenience and extending the time you can spend outdoors.

Pergolas are ideal for larger areas or creating a covered zone that feels like an outdoor room. Fitted with optional lighting, heaters and side screens, they’re a brilliant investment in both shade and atmosphere – popular across Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham and surrounding towns.

External screens provide discreet vertical shading, especially useful for upper-floor windows, glazed gables or home offices that suffer from intense sun. They maintain your view and let in light – while keeping excess heat out.

Throughout the UK Central Awnings offers practical, premium solutions that enhance comfort and reduce energy use. Our team is here to help you make the most of your space, inside and out.
