Back Open After the Holidays – Supporting the Trade with Professional Awning Solutions

After the holiday shutdowns, the pace always picks up quickly. Installers return to site, enquiries start coming in, and projects that were paused over winter begin moving again.

Now back open after the holidays, Central Awnings is supporting trade customers across the UK with professionally specified awning systems, dependable supply, and practical installation support — at a point in the year when early planning really pays off.

Winter Moves Faster Than You Think

Although winter can feel like a quieter period, it rarely lasts as long as expected. Once daylight improves and temperatures rise, demand for awnings and external shading increases quickly — especially for hospitality, retail frontages, and commercial outdoor spaces.

From initial enquiry and specification through to manufacturing, delivery, and installation, awning projects take time. Getting systems specified early helps installers:

Secure realistic production slots

Plan site schedules more effectively

Avoid last-minute pressure as spring approaches

Build assisted fit support into larger projects

Starting conversations now makes it far easier to deliver smoothly when demand peaks.

A Supplier That Understands Real Install Conditions

Central Awnings works closely with professional installers, contractors, and commercial partners, supplying awnings and external systems designed to perform in real-world conditions.

Our approach is built around clear communication, realistic lead times, and technically sound products, backed by a practical understanding of what actually happens on site — from fixing challenges and access issues to tight programmes and changing client expectations.

Everything we supply is selected to help installers deliver projects efficiently, safely, and to a high professional standard, without unnecessary complications.

A Focused Range of External Shading Solutions

Central Awnings supplies a carefully selected range of systems to support both smaller installations and larger commercial projects, including:

Retractable awnings

Fixed-frame and specialist awning systems

Architectural balustrades

External roller shutters

Motors, controls, brackets, fixings, and accessories

Professional signwriting and branding finishes

Keeping the range focused allows installers to specify confidently, streamline installation, and avoid unnecessary complexity.

Proven European Systems, Trusted on Site

We work with manufacturers known throughout the industry for reliability and performance.

Somfy motors and controls for smooth operation, automation, wind protection, and smart integration

Recasens fabrics offering excellent durability, colour stability, and long-term outdoor performance

Llaza awning systems recognised across Europe for strong engineering and installer-friendly design

Together, these systems allow installers to deliver shading solutions that meet both technical requirements and client expectations.

Assisted Fits – Built Into the Planning Stage

One of the advantages of getting in touch early is the ability to plan assisted fitting support where it adds genuine value.

Some projects go beyond routine installations — large-span awnings, heavier systems, difficult access, or tight commercial programmes. By planning ahead, assisted fits can be scheduled properly, helping installations run smoothly and reducing pressure on site.

Assisted fits are particularly useful for:

Large or heavy awning systems

First-time installation of specific products

Complex commercial frontages

Time-sensitive or high-profile projects

Installers remain fully in control of the client relationship — we simply work alongside your team to support a successful outcome.

A Practical Trade Partner, Not Just a Supplier

Beyond supplying systems, Central Awnings supports installers with:

Early-stage specification advice

Fabric and system selection

Motorisation and control options

Bracket, fixing, and mounting solutions

Professional signwriting and finishing

The aim is to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and help projects progress smoothly from planning through to installation.

Open, Ready, and Planning Ahead

With teams fully back after the holiday period, Central Awnings is now taking enquiries, orders, and assisted fit bookings.

If you’re already looking ahead to spring and early summer projects, now is the right time to start the conversation — while schedules are more flexible and planning time is still on your side.
