DIY AWNING - The Saragosa DIY Patio Awning

Dean's Blinds - Especially chosen for it's ease of installation the Saragosa DIY awning is built on the "mono bloc" system which means the brackets are first installed thus allowing you to place the awning in position without the awkward juggling required of other types of awning. http://deansblinds.co.uk

Woodweave conservatory blinds for the home

Often conservatories require a screening method which fits more natural surroundings in a way that is not easily achieved with modern window furnishings. Deans natural weave conservatory blinds utilise wood from sustainable forests around the world which are woven into beautiful designs that operate as Roman style conservatory blinds. This sort of window treatment for conservatories is very traditional and can be a stylish addition to a Victorian conservatory. All Deans conservatory blinds are installed by our trained installers who care about ensuring our customers are delighted with their conservatory blind installation. http://deansblinds.co.uk

Automatic Awning Controls by SOMFY

Automatic controls which could not be imagined are now common place and their use on sunblinds and shutters is no exception.

Automation can be specified to respond to a number of stimuli:

1. Solar control, where the device operates automatically when a certain degree of light is received by the sensor. This is especially useful where sunblinds are specified to prevent furnishings or stock fading as the blind will operate even when no one is present.
2. Timers may be specified.
3. An anemometer (wind speed sensor) is always fitted when timer or sun sensors are used in order that the blind is retracted in windy conditions that otherwise could result in damage.
4. Deans can design command controls to operate combinations of units to operate together, or in groups and can de-activate other control units, such as timers or other sensors according to a customer's requirements.

Graphics for Awnings

Deans have their own in-house graphics department who combine modern technology with the traditional craft of hand signwriting and gold leaf application.

Graphics applied to commercial awnings and shop blinds extend the product from being a form of solar control and shelter into a 3-dimensional sign which will act as a beacon for old and new customers alike.

Smoking Shelters,All weather Restaurant Awnings and Pub Awnings

For areas in public places which have a covered roof, whether retractable or not, 50% of the perimeter must be permanaently open to the air.

Deans Restaurant and Pub Awnings are an excellent solution to the smoking shelter issues but it must be considered that conventional awnings such as that shown above are generally only rated up to Beaufort scall 3/4 which means that in windy conditions the awning must be retracted.

For more adverse weather use a system such as the Pergotenda Restaurant and Pub Awning from Deans should be specified - this is rated up to Beaufort scale 8 which is almost 50 Miles per hour.

Giant Umbrellas

Deans are accredited distributors for this remarkable range of commercial umbrellas. Available in round or square shapes from 3 metres up to a massive 7 metres across, these Giant Umbrellas are designed for use on out door eating areas where protection is required from sun or showers and where an al fresco atmosphere is to be created.

The frames are powder-coated white as standard and can be installed into lockable ground sockets or on to moveable, weighted stands, which are resistant up to wind loadings of 100 km/hr, depending on size and model.

Umbrella covers are replaceable and are made from UV stabilised acrylate-coated polyester fabric providing waterproof and colourfast protection.

Graphics may be applied to the umbrellas making them admirably suited for use at corporate events or where on-site branding is needed.

Special options are also available, including integral lighting and heating, side screens and rain gutters

Corporate Awnings and Branded Canopies

Deans have assisted numerous corporate clients with their on site corporate branding. A canopy or awning will not only provide protection from the elements it is also an extremely cost-effective form of three dimensional signage. Whether you want your awning to protect guests dining al fresco or act as a signpost to your products or services Deans have the solution

Canopies are easy to maintain and inexpensive to re brand. When changes occur there is no need to change the unit entirely but a new cover can transform and revitalize any corporate style.

Graphics are an essential part of the commercial canopy or awning and Deans in-house facilities extend from basic graphics, through digital processing to authentic, hand applied 24 carat gold leaf.

Installation may be fixed for maximum visual impact or mechanized, manually or electronically, to suit the requirements and sophistication of the particular requirement.

A National installation service is available and phased programs are frequently arranged for clients to fit in with their seasonal or budgetary needs.

Commercial Awnings including awnings for schools and restaurants

Broadly speaking exterior sunblinds and awnings can be broken down into retractable or fixed types. The terms "blinds" and "awnings" are generally interchangeable in common use and the distinction between the two has become very vague. We have simply used the term awnings to describe all types.
