Case Studies


 

Patio Protection

Fred and Margaret Burrows always enjoyed spending time in their garden, but did find it difficult to sit outside on their patio for long periods in the sun. One of their friends already had a patio awning and suggested they contact us. "In the end we had visits from a number of awnings suppliers, but we were very impressed by your gentleman, who answered all our questions, we really felt he helped guide us to choose the correct patio awning for our situation."

Fred and Margaret's worries about the installation process were soon resolved "It was all sorted very quickly, with no fuss at all, the awning was put up in one day and the fitters cleaned up after themselves before leaving. We were out on the patio under our new awning the very next day!"

 

 

UV Protection From The Sun

Gill and Peter Crawford love to spend time with their family in their garden in Kent , but after reading a newspaper report on the harmful effects of the sun, became concerned about letting their grandchildren play outside unprotected. "We knew you shouldn't spend too long out in the sun, but never realised that UV rays were such an issue. We were a bit worried about the damage spending all day in the sun could cause to the kids' health". After researching possible solutions on the web, they contacted Appeal about their range of patio awnings, all of which are UV rated. "The fact that all Appeal's sun awnings are UV-rated put our minds at rest. The wide choice of colours was a real bonus - we wanted the awning to look good as well!"

Since having their patio awning installed, the Crawfords have been enjoying spending more time out in the garden with their family. "In actual fact, now we have the awning we spend more time outside than before. It's nice to be able to sit outside in the shade on a hot afternoon, or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening".

 

 

Protecting Furnishings

Mary Hopkins was quite surprised when she looked through her patio doors from her garden and saw her sofa looked faded along one side. "I couldn't believe that my furnishings in the lounge were being ruined by the sunshine outside. My neighbour already had conservatory blinds from you and told me they also did patio awnings, which seemed perfect, as it would protect the room from the sun." Mary arranged an appointment with her local Design Consultant, who came to visit her the next evening. "When the chap came round I was expecting him to be really pushy, a hard-nosed salesman. But it wasn't like that, we talked through my requirements and he explained how an awning could help the problem. I was very impressed by the sun sensor in particular, which makes the awning come out automatically in sunny weather, even if I'm not at home. It's exactly what I needed to help protect my sofa and carpet and it also means that my lounge doesn't turn into an oven in summer!"

 

 

Living Outdoors

Keith and Lynne Symes wanted to spend more time in their garden, but were fed up with the unpredictable British weather spoiling their plans. After researching awnings on the internet, they decided that this was an investment they had to make. "Every time we wanted to sit out in the garden it seemed to be either drizzling or too dark. The best solution for us seemed to be to buy a patio awning. When we told the lady what we wanted, she took us through our options and showed us the night lights and patio heaters available - they were exactly what we needed, we could not be happier."
