The Built in Retractable Fascia Shop Awning

The fascia shopblind or retrtactable awning is a awning where the roller and cover of the retractable awning are housed in a pre-prepared box which has been previously installed in a shopfront, usually by shopfitters.

All normal methods of support can be used on a retractable fascia awning including: traditional sliding arms, trellis arms and folding arms.

Front awning profiles can be from a number of materials though usually wood or aluminium is specified. Deans are sometimes asked to install custom made front profiles (laths) which can be of brass or bronze on occasion.

When a new shopfront is specified it is advisable to call Deans to ascertain the appropriate box size that should be built in to suit the selected awning.

Operation of fascia retractable awnings and shop blinds can be of any type including fully automated operation.
