Base Plus Awning

A tidy awning that looks after itself

Most of the time an awning is closed, so how it looks and how well it's protected matters as much as the shade it gives. The Base Plus is fully cassetted: when you wind it in, the folding arms and the fabric disappear into a slim case. That keeps the fabric clean, dry and out of the sun, so it stays looking good for longer — and you're left with a neat line on the wall rather than exposed arms and fabric.

Made in the UK, built for British weather

The Base Plus is made in the UK by Base Awnings & Blinds, the specialist awning company we use as our supplier. It's designed for British conditions, with powder-coated frames that resist chipping, fading and rust, and acrylic fabrics that are UV-stable and water-resistant.

Quick, neat fitting

It hangs from just two brackets, one at each end, with no centre bracket or continuous back bar. That makes fitting quicker and suits walls where space is tight. It can be fixed to the face of the wall or up under the eaves, and the pitch can be adjusted on site so the shade falls exactly where you want it.

Choosing your size

The awning comes in four projections, from 1.6m to 3.1m. As a rough guide, a bigger projection shades more of the patio but needs a slightly wider wall. We'll measure up and suggest the size that shades the area you actually use.

Manual or Somfy motorised

You can wind it out by hand, or have it fitted with a Somfy motor. With a motor you can use a remote or wall switch, add a wind sensor so it comes in by itself if the weather turns, and even link it to the Somfy TaHoma app with your other motorised blinds. See Somfy motorisation.

Extras for evenings

LED lights in the arms and an infrared patio heater on the wall turn your patio into somewhere you'll use well after sunset.

Smaller space?

If your wall is narrower or you don't need as much reach, have a look at the Base Lite, its smaller sister. Or book a free site visit and we'll help you choose.
