New awnings for St Mary's Bryanston


St Mary’s Bryanston CofE Primary School has a long tradition of providing a good education and aims to provide a full curriculum to all children.

They have previously reduced classroom heat build up with the use of air conditioning. However, by preventing the sun from reaching the windows with awnings they were able to significantly reduce solar gain without increasing the consumption of energy and thereby also reducing the carbon footprint.

Working with the contractor, Marylebone Interiors, Deans’ Vice President system was specified together with Swela dralon awning fabrics using an automatic control system by Somfy to ensure a controlled environment for the pupils. A vibrabox sensor controls in the front profiles for retraction in windy conditions.

Deans installed the awnings on special brackets and the final result was a visually fun scheme of red, cream and green colours against the cream background of the school.

Mr Peter Hadfield, Head Teacher commented in the school News Letter “The awnings outside Year 1, 2 and 3 were installed over the Easter holiday and they shade the classroom windows perfectly”. He also acknowledged the part played by the Rose Foundation for their contribution to the costs, which made the project possible.

A canopy can refer to a tent, however. Swiss Gear, for example, offers a series of canopies that can serve very well as tents when on a short holiday. Variflex also offers canopies that can serve admirably as a tent, complete with pegs and washable material. A particularly notable example is the Coleman 15.15 GeoSport Screen, which besides serving as a tent, can double up as a stall in local fairs - quite a handy thing to have around the house actually.
