Uni Moss Awnings & Pergolas

Can I have an awning on my bungalow?
It is possible to install a classic 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. Pergola awnings can not be installed on a bungalow as it’s not possible to use spreader plates with this type of awning.

Can I have an awning installed onto a conservatory or sunroom?
Due to both pergola awnings and awnings requiring brickwork to affix to, you can not have a pergola awning or an awning installed onto a conservatory or sunroom.

Will it be necessary to move any pipework or guttering to fit the awning?
This depends on the type of awning chosen. If there is any pipework or guttering where a classic awning is to be installed, we can use specialist parts to fit around obstacles, such as drain pipes, or uneven walls. Pergola awnings can not be installed where there is any pipework or guttering and require a blank wall for installation.

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. Sun sensors are only available on awnings. All sensors should be deactivated and the awning retracted if you are not at home.

Will the installation require drilling into any walls or rewiring?
Due to the motorised nature of our pergola awnings and 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.
