Alfresco living has seen awnings being utilised more and more as a stylish solution for both domestic and commercial patio areas. Traditional wall mounted products are the most cost effective solution, but naturally they have limitations in terms of all weather use (wind rain & snow - see FAQs).

The Fabric Roof systems are frame mounted retractable awning systems that provide stronger weather protection and are proving increasingly popular in the UK. Awning cassettes are fixed to walls or frame structures as per traditional folding arm units, but they are supported  by load bearing front posts fixed into the ground.     

The products facilitate extra space on the exterior of buildings without the need for traditional building work. Allowing projections up to 7m, an individual unit can cover up to 30 m2. Units can be coupled to ensure full coverage over large areas and optional features include gutter, lighting and heating systems.

Fabric roofs allows you to ignore the uncertain factor of changeable weather. You create extra space that is permanently available for use at any time of day and in any season.

Double sided butterfly awnings are an alternative solution to cover large terrace areas where it is not viable to fix traditional wall mounted products. A central framework can support folding arm units or fabric roofs as required.

Roché also offer a range of giant umbrellas to compliment our awning products and cover large patio areas.
