New retractable Markilux 730 awning at Mckennas of London

Markilux 730 enhances Period Jewellery in SW3

There are numerous shops with awnings in Beauchamp Place, London SW3 and McKenna & Co has a distinctive location. However, their old non-retractable canopy tended to attract environmental dirt from passing traffic'; this  has  been replaced by Deans with a new retractable Markilux awning .

Their “Pivot Arm” model, the Markilux 730, has brightened up their window no end. The detachable winding handle enables the awning to be set at any angle up to 90 degrees depending on the glare of the sun or merely to open up the vision of their attractive window display. The gas compressed piston arms ensure a strong fixing and taught cover.

The awning is fully retractable into a protected cassette,  which keeps the fabric cover protected from the traffic and its environmental dust.



McKenna & Co. are a London based family-owned business established in 1982, dealing in fine antique & period jewellery.

Their online gallery includes the current collection, new arrivals and also features printed catalogues. Wherever you are in the world you may buy with complete confidence through their website, with a 14 day refund guarantee if an item is not suitable.

Personal visitors are assured of a warm welcome at the Regency townhouse premises in Knightsbridge, a stone's throw from Harrods.

Electric & Motorised Blinds

Deans Blinds and Awnings have been supplying and installing top quality products in London for nearly 120 years, as well as the traditional handmade products that we still install for many shops and business' in and around London and the South East we are also installing the very latest electric and motorised internal blinds.
Deans have merged the old and the new, with technology and products. We may still hand make many of our awnings and we may also hand paint many logo's onto the fabrics but we now have state of the art printing machines, the results can look even better than hand painted with the level of detail. Alongside this we have the very latest computerised sewing machine, this huge machine means we can make even larger covers but with the skill and accuracy expected of a niche product.
Along with the rise in technology in many homes Deans are also leading the way in electric and motorised internal blinds, like all properties they go through phases where people use space differently. This has been noticed especially in family rooms, alot of Victorian and Georgian properties are being refurbished with the addition of large extensions to the rear of properties, these rooms generally incorporating kitchens, dining and living space within one area, to maximise light large expanses of glass are often used to create a light and airy space. Bifold doors or large patio doors can give a beautiful focal point, roof lanterns and skylights are also used to give you that 360 degree feel of light and space and creates a very contemporary feel mixing the old buildings with the latest interior design.
This can pose some difficult shading solutions, not only do you still want to keep privacy but you will also need to control the heat and the glare that large pieces of glass can attract, so at Deans we have developed some wonderful blinds that will not only complement the interior décor but offer real benefits in Solar control. We also install a range of blinds for roof lanterns and skylights again a difficult area to shade effectively but if you speak to Deans you can be sure that our 120 years of experience shines through.
We have three dedicated websites for internal blinds, click one of the links below for more helpful information or call 020-8947-8931
