A bespoke awning for the home offers an outdoor living space and extends the time families can spend outdoors, protecting you from the sun and the elements should the weather become inclement.

Your awning in Leicester will also keep your rooms cooler and prevent fading of your furniture, flooring and curtains. To find out more about our services contact us directly for a free quote on your bespoke awning.

A commercial awning can transform a premises and is one of the most cost effective solutions to increasing a company’s visual presence. Awnings can be colour coded and sign written offering weatherproof areas for cafés or restaurants and sun protection for retailers.

5 Simple steps to your perfect awnings in Leicester:

Choose your style of awning.

Open Awning….The workings and fabric are a little more exposed to the elements
Semi Cassette Awning….When folded away most of the workings and fabric is protected from the weather.
Full Cassette Awning….When closed the important parts of your awning are fully protected from the british weather.

What size do you want your awning?

How wide do you want your awning? We would always recommend going wider than your door or window to allow for the movement of the sun.

How far out do you want your awning to go? Generally 2 to 2.5 metres is enough to sit under and protect your furnishings, but you can have up to 4 metres.

How do you want to operate your awning?

Gear operated….Using a handle in the clockwise direction to take your awning out, and anti-clockwise to bring it back in.
Remote Control…. Control your awning by the touch of a button.
Fully automated….When the sun comes out, so does your awning and if the wind picks up it puts itself away.

Choose your fabric.

The german fabric on your awning comes in a huge range of different colours and with an added bonus that they are all self cleaning.

Choose your frame colour.

Because your awning is made to your exact requirements you can choose from 47 different frame colours at no extra cost.

When it comes to awnings there are not many things we haven’t seen over the last 130 years, so if you have a bungalow, single storey extension or something even more unusual then we can generally find the right solution.

“Thankyou for the wonderful blinds very nice and reasonable price”

What Our Customers Say...

“I am really happy with our most recent blinds and service from Barlow blinds (fitted Nov 2024). This is the third set of blinds, across different rooms that we have arranged with Barlow blinds in the last few years, and the service and quality is excellent!”

What Our Customers Say...

“After moving into our brand new home in August, we’ve spent weeks with cardboard boxes serving as our window coverings. It took us a long time to decide how we wanted our windows to look, and who we wanted to supply and fit the coverings. But our patience has been rewarded: we simply love them! We ended up going down the white shutter route for every window, apart from a couple of faux-wood venetian blinds (in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom), and a lovely allusion blind covering the patio doors. Using a local company for the work was important to us and, from the moment of Paul’s first visit, it was always Barlow Blinds we wanted to use. Their quote was competitive, they were a pleasure to deal with and it was comforting to know that Paul would be part of the two-man installation team on the day the shutters were fitted. And to have them fitted a few days before Christmas was just the best present!”

What Our Customers Say...

“I have to say from being recommended this company has been absolutely fantastic. From initial contact to visiting measuring up and ordering the process through Paul, it has been faultless. The fitting was completed last week 2 weeks earlier than expected. The product and quality is exceptional. Fitting was completed by Paul and Steve and they were efficient clean friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this company and it’s a five star performance from me. Well done Barlow blinds Merry Xmas”

What Our Customers Say...

“Staff were very knowledgeable about blinds and extremely helpful. We purchased a number of Roman blinds. Since they were fitted we`ve noticed the rooms are much warmer - the blinds fit inside the window reveals, rather than curtains which hung over the radiators allowing all the heat to escape behind them. We`ll be buying more for bedrooms !”

What Our Customers Say...

“We were recommended to Barlow Blinds by friends who had also used this company and now we have had ours fitted I can see why. From start to finish the whole process was really easy, no pushy sales pitches just a balanced overview of what was on offer, then the fitting was completed with no fuss or mess and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. Great to see that Paul who first came out to us, then installed the blinds himself, so great continuity throughout. Really pleased with service and price and would definitely recommend this company to others.”

What Our Customers Say...

“This company is excellent . The service received from Paul from start to finish was outstanding on every level I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them on.”

What Our Customers Say...

“I would like to say a huge thank you to Phil and his team at Barlow's blinds for such excellent support and service. The blind that you have fitted at Merrydale Infant school will enhance our children's sensory experience and help us to meet their specific needs. Thank you for being so supportive in manufacturing the blind so quickly and for your efficient fitting. I have already made one recommendation to another school and will certainly be using you again. Please thank your entire team for helping us and for being so understanding in our specific requirements.”

What Our Customers Say...

“Phil and his team quoted and then subsequently fitted four new blinds for us at our Family Hub. The job was a very reasonable price, and the communication before the fitting was excellent. The fitters who arrived to complete the job were friendly and professional, and completed the job to a high standard. They also left no mess behind. Thank you very much for our lovely new blinds, they are a fantastic new addition to our family room.”

What Our Customers Say...

“Had Barlows blinds fit our bay window shutters 17.10 We had a few large national and local companies come and quote. We felt Barlows were the best. Paul came and discussed options and explained how despite our bay not being perfectly plumb he would be able to make a great instal and explained how. This was overlooked by the other companies. Paul also explained he will quote measure and also install that put us at ease as well. Bonus Barlows had a showroom in the Van! Only company where we could see full size shutters rather than small samples. The office was great as we had to delay our quote a year due to renovation delays. On the day Paul and Steve came and fitted the shutters they were very polite and sheeted and moved furniture. Work took a couple of hours and the attention to detail was brilliant. The shutters once fitted looked great! You can get similar shutters from elsewhere where but it was Barlows finishing and fitting that made the difference. Thanks to Barlows and the Team will yous them again!”

From our first contact, we felt we were in professional hands - all the way from first survey, to quotation, fast-delivery of samples, and smooth, no-fuss installation. The blinds look good, and are of good quality.”
