Awning Installation in Hull, East Yorkshire

This job involved the installation of a Llaza Storbox 400 onto the ground floor extension of a mid-20th century family townhouse in Hull. The goal was simple: create a sheltered, usable patio space directly outside the extension, overlooking the garden.

The result is a clean, modern awning installation that complements both the original brickwork and the contemporary extension, while dramatically improving how the outdoor space can be utilised.

Extending the Extension – Creating a Usable Outdoor Living Space

The ground floor extension opens up the rear of the property with large glazing and direct access onto a paved patio area. While the extension added valuable interior space, the area immediately outside remained exposed to sun and rain.

The homeowners wanted to:

• Cover the paved patio immediately outside the extension

• Create a defined outdoor seating area

• Reduce glare and heat through the rear glazing

• Maintain clean architectural lines

This is precisely where the Llaza Storbox 400 comes into its own.

Why the Llaza Storbox 400 Was the Ideal Choice

Llaza are well known for their robust, full cassette awning systems designed specifically for larger projections and enhanced durability. When retracted, the fabric and arms are completely enclosed within a sleek aluminium housing, protecting the mechanism and maintaining a tidy appearance.

For this Awning Installation in East Yorkshire, the specification included:

• Anthracite powder-coated frame to match modern trims and roofline

• Classic green striped Recasens fabric, adding character and warmth

• Electric operation for effortless extension and retraction

• Full cassette protection for long-term performance

The green striped Recasens fabric brings a classic, almost continental feel, while still sitting comfortably against the mid-century brickwork. It softens the rear elevation and brings life to the patio without overpowering it.

Electric operation ensures ease of use. At the touch of a switch, the patio transforms into a sheltered outdoor sanctuary. No manual winding. No effort. Just instant coverage.

Structural Integration with the Extension

Installing onto a recently built extension requires careful assessment of fixing points and load distribution. The awning was mounted precisely to ensure:

• Secure structural anchoring

• Correct pitch for water runoff

• Clean alignment with the extension roofline

The anthracite cassette we chose integrates seamlessly beneath the fascia, meaning when the awning is closed, the rear elevation remains simple, sharp and uncluttered.

Open, it creates a generous covered area directly outside the extension doors, visually extending the new living space into the garden.

A Practical Upgrade for Elegant Family Living

This Yorkshire awning installation has transformed the way the patio functions throughout the year.

The paved area now serves as:

• A sheltered outdoor dining space

• A shaded seating area during warmer months

• Protection from light rain

• Solar shading for interior comfort

The awning effectively bridges the transition between indoor and outdoor space, making the extension feel even larger.

For properties overlooking a garden, this kind of installation creates a natural focal point. It frames the garden view while providing protection exactly where it’s needed most.
