A motorised awning (often called an electric awning) is a retractable outdoor awning powered by a built-in motor. With the simple press of a button, your awning extends or retracts smoothly, providing instant shade and weather protection for your patio, garden, or terrace. For UK homeowners, this means you can make the most of your outdoor space all year round without the hassle of winding handles or heavy lifting.
At Regal Awnings, we specialise in designing and installing custom motorised awnings that combine stylish looks with practical benefits. Whether you want a shaded spot for family meals, a comfortable area for entertaining guests, or just a quiet retreat to enjoy your garden, an automatic awning makes outdoor living effortless.
With unpredictable British weather, flexibility is essential. A sunny morning can turn into a rainy afternoon — and with a motorised retractable awning, you can adapt your outdoor environment instantly. This makes them an ideal investment for homeowners who want convenience, comfort, and long-lasting quality from their garden shading solution.
