Opera and Vision all weather awnings

Deans Blinds and Awnings present the new Pratic OPERA and VISION all weather Bio-Climatic awning systems. Ideally suited for the person who wishes to use their patio or terrace in inclement weather

With 5-years and 150 successful installations behind them Deans have become an leader in the promotion, supply and installation of these relatively new systems to the UK market.

Conventional awnings are generally rated up to Class 2 in the CE wind resistance category and this precludes their use for all but the mildest conditions the British climate can throw at them.

We have realised that our products were being put to uses for which they were never designed and the search was on for a solution which would enable clients in the leisure industry to extend entertainment and dining areas outside in more than just the mildest of weathers.

All weather awning systems had become very popular in Italy and other south Mediterranean countries and, after some research, the first use of this type of products was at the Pizza Express Restaurant in Woking where we installed a Timber framed structure to extend the outside seating and dining area with retractable triple laminate PVC roof. The enormous success of this project prompted the start of a successful campaign to fill a gap in the market not then covered by conventional awning systems.

Since 2010 Deans have developed an excellent relationship with Pratic in Italy and expanded the range from laminated glulam wooden frame structures through Aluminium systems and on to completely free standing units such as the Tecnic Reverse and the Tecnic Phoenix. All these systems shared a common retractable roof type in triple laminate PVC and have to be fully retracted in case of snow.
