Commercial Awnings UK in conjunction with Samson Awnings offer a wide range of made to order retractable awnings built to an extremely high standard to withstand water, wind and prolonged exposure to sun – perfect for commercial use.
Awnings are a great way to extend your commercial premises at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. With integrated heating and lighting this outside space can be utilised all year round. This can be ideal for pubs, bars and restaurants or shop fronts where you want to provide additional shelter from the elements. You can also opt for a branded retractable awning to give the added benefit of additional advertising for your business.
We supply and install manual and electric retractable awnings. We work with leading manufacturers such as Markilux, Weinor and Erhardt so you can be sure that all of our outdoor living products are made to an extremely high standard.
With support of our manufacturing partners, we can produce illustrative designs of different options, working closely with clients, architects, contractors and consultants to deliver the perfect solution.
Even at the opposite end of the weather spectrum, our commercial retractable awnings can still cope. Nobody likes spending time in the rain and our awnings can also act as a waterproof shelter.
All of the patio awnings fall into three main categories: Full Cassette, Semi Cassette and Open Cassette.

This is an enclosed awning where the roller, fabric cover and arms are completely protected and stored in a closed cassette when retracted. These awnings are the right choice for exposed installations and for anyone wanting maximum protection all year round and when the weather turns bad. The cover fabric will stay cleaner a lot longer if used sensibly. |
There are varying degrees of protection given by semi cassetted awnings as the casings from manufacturers differ in design. Generally the protection is given from the top and the front only by an aluminium or steel coverboard. Where complete protection is not a requirement such as underneath a soffit these awnings can be useful. |
The fabric is rolled up and the arms are retracted and it is all totally exposed. Due to this lack of protection the most suitable positions to install an open awning would be under large overhang areas such as soffits or eaves. The mechanisms and roller tubes are left completely exposed to the weather conditions, but all are manufactured in aluminium as standard. |
