Welcome 2024 with Warema Awnings

In recent years, our homes have become more than just living spaces; they’ve transformed into our personal sanctuaries. This shift has brought outdoor spaces into the spotlight, and as we head into 2024 this trend is only growing stronger. Homeowners are now seeking innovative ways to blend indoor comfort with outdoor living, and smart, sustainable solutions are at the forefront of this evolution. Awnings, particularly from trusted brands like Warema, are becoming key in redefining our living spaces. Having one in your garden means you can use your outdoor space all year around, not just in the summer months. Plus, they add serious curb appeal and value to your home.

Our predictions for 2024

We’re seeing very clear trends shaping our homes to be more connected, convenient, and kind to the earth.

Embracing nature: More and more people are looking to make the most of their garden space by creating a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. An awning is the perfect way to protect yourself from the elements.

Smart home systems: Motorisation is a trend that is definitely here to stay. In 2024 we expect to see more integrated smart home systems as homeowners look to use technology to create a more harmonised & convenient household.

Sustainable products: Now you don’t have to choose between style and sustainability. Most industry leaders in window treatments are moving towards the use of more environmentally conscious materials. Warema awnings can be manufactured with eco-friendly materials – without compromising on style or durability. Why choose a Warema awning?

As we navigate the changing seasons, Warema awnings offer solutions tailored to each unique time of the year.

Spring: After months spent largely indoors, everybody wants to take full advantage of the first warm and sunny days of the year. However, we all know the weather can be unpredictable in the spring! An awning is ideal for protecting you from those April showers. Warema awnings can be installed with radiant heaters, making it more comfortable to spend time outdoors during this season.

Summer: Protecting you and your family from the dangers of UV rays in the summer, an awning provides you with a shady area to relax in. Warema awnings come in more than 200 trendy colours, so there’s something to suit every home and garden.

But the benefits of an awning aren’t just limited to your outdoor spaces during this season. If you have a room that typically gets a lot of sun and becomes unbearably hot in the summer, an awning can be fitted over your patio or bifold doors to protect your room from heating up in the warmer months.

Autumn: The days might be growing shorter and colder, but that doesn’t mean you have to retreat indoors. You can choose to have energy-efficient LED strips added to your awning for versatile, dimmable lighting while you enjoy evenings out on your patio. Wrap up in some cosy layers and switch on your radiant heaters to keep you feeling warm during those autumn nights. And if the weather takes an inevitable turn, your Warema awning can be protected with a wind sensor that causes your awning to automatically retract during blustery weather.

Winter: While it’s unlikely that you’ll want to sit outside for long periods of time in the winter months, awnings still have their uses. In the winter, the sun lays low to the ground all day – so on clear, crisp days you might experience glare on your TV or extremely bright rays of sunlight piercing through your windows into your rooms. Choose an awning with a valance roller blind attachment to block the sun as it gets closer to the horizon in the afternoons and early evenings.

Why we love Warema: This German company is committed to innovative design with durable, sustainable materials. They’re hugely customisable, both in terms of aesthetics and functional requirements. Plus, they offer a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty for total peace of mind.

Warema awnings can be manufactured up to 7m wide, with a maximum projection of 4m. Whether you have a compact patio or a sprawling garden, a Warema awning can help you make the most of your space. If you already have a smart home system, your Warema awning can be retrofitted to work in conjunction with it – ensuring a seamless and user-friendly experience. A few final thoughts
