Choosing an awning for an Irish home comes down to a few practical questions. Here is what to think about before you order.

1. Cassette or open awning?
A full cassette awning rolls the fabric into a closed case, so it stays clean and dry when not in use. In Irish weather that protection is worth it.
2. Manual or motorised?
A motor (for example Somfy) with a remote means you actually use the awning – it opens and closes in seconds. A wind sensor can retract it automatically.
3. Fabric colour
Pick a colour that works with your window frames and walls. Grey and stripes suit modern and older houses alike.
4. Width and projection
Measure the area you want to shade – usually the width of the patio doors plus some extra each side.
