Residential Awning Installation in Nottingham

Solar-Powered Drop Arm Awning Installation in Worksop

At Infinity Awnings, we don’t just make commercial spaces more usable, we also help homeowners regain control of their living space when the sun decides to show up uninvited. This recent project is a perfect example of how well-designed residential awnings in Nottingham can dramatically improve comfort in modern homes.

This installation took place at a contemporary residential property in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The homeowners contacted us because, while they loved the modern design of their house, its south-facing aspect meant one thing: uninterrupted sunshine from morning through to evening. Great for solar panels. Less great when your downstairs rooms turn into a greenhouse.

The Challenge: Too Much of a Good Thing

South-facing homes benefit from excellent natural light, but without proper shading, they can quickly become uncomfortable, especially during spring and summer. In this case, direct sunlight was flooding the downstairs living areas at both the front and rear of the property, causing excessive heat and glare throughout the day.

The homeowners wanted a solution that would:

• Reduce direct sunlight and heat buildup

• Maintain the clean, modern appearance of the property

• Be easy to operate with minimal maintenance

• Avoid invasive electrical work

In other words, practical shading without turning their house into a building site.

The Solution: Solar-Powered Drop Arm Awnings

Our recommendation was to install two drop arm awnings, one at the front and one at the rear of the property. Drop arm awnings are ideal for window shading, allowing the fabric to project outward while still maintaining airflow and outward visibility.

For this project, we specified solar powered electric awnings with remote control operation. This meant the awnings could be fully motorised without the need to run electrical cabling through the property, a major advantage for residential installations.

Each awning features:

• A sleek black aluminium frame

• A plain green fabric, chosen to complement the brickwork and modern cladding

• Integrated solar panels discreetly mounted within the cassette

• Simple remote control operation

The result is a clean, modern shading solution that blends seamlessly with the property’s exterior.

Installation Process

Before installation, our team carried out a full site survey to assess sun angles, window positions, and fixing points. This ensured the awnings would provide effective shade during peak sunlight hours while remaining proportional to the property’s façade.

Both drop arm awnings were installed efficiently, with minimal disruption to the homeowners. Because the system is solar powered, no internal wiring was required, making installation quicker and less invasive.

Once fitted, we tested the operation of each awning and demonstrated how the remote control system works, allowing the homeowners to easily extend or retract the awnings as conditions change throughout the day.

The Result: Comfort Without Compromise

The finished installation has transformed how the homeowners use their downstairs rooms. By reducing direct sunlight, the awnings help keep internal temperatures more stable and eliminate glare on screens and surfaces.

Just as importantly, the awnings preserve the modern aesthetic of the home. When retracted, they sit neatly against the wall, and when extended, they provide effective shading without overwhelming the building’s design.

For homeowners considering residential awnings in Nottingham, this project shows how solar-powered systems can deliver both convenience and performance without compromising on appearance.

Why Solar-Powered Awnings Make Sense

Solar powered electric awnings are becoming increasingly popular for residential properties, particularly modern builds. They offer:

• No hard-wired electrical connection

• Lower installation complexity

• Environmentally friendly operation

• Reliable motorised control

For homes with strong sun exposure, they provide a smart, future-proof shading solution.
