Formation Dark Thunder Awnings

Can I have an awning installed onto a conservatory or sunroom?

Yes, However, if there is no brick wall to fix the awning to, a free-standing frame would be the preferred installation instead. A comprehensive technical survey will be carried out before installation and you can talk over your options with your expert designer during this time.

Can I have an awning on my bungalow?

Yes. It is possible to install an awning on a single-story true bungalow, using specialist spreader plates to affix the awning to the wall. A comprehensive technical survey will be carried out before installation and you can talk over your options with your expert designer during this time.

Will it be necessary to move any pipework or guttering to fit the awning?

No. If there is any pipework or guttering where the awning is to be installed, we can use specialist parts to fit around obstacles, such as drain pipes, or uneven walls.

What do the wind sensors do?

The sensors detect when the weather has become too windy, and will automatically retract your awning. This keeps it safe from any damage caused by strong winds.

What does a sun sensor do?

A sun sensor will detect when the sun is shining and will automatically open out your awning to provide shade. This is particularly helpful during the summer, as it ensures a cool and shaded area in advance of your requirement.

Will the installation require drilling into any walls or rewiring?

Due to the motorised nature of our awnings, our expert awning installers will need access to a power source within your home. The awning installer will drill a small hole through your wall in order that the power lead can be inserted and then plugged into an internal power socket. Your installer will be able to answer any specific questions about this installation.
