Veranda awnings in Sittard, including measuring on site and installation

A veranda awning is a specific type of sun shading designed especially for patio covers and verandas. It can be fitted either on the outside (on top) or on the inside (underneath) of a patio cover. Its primary purpose is to block heat and the sun's rays before they reach your patio cover, or to limit the solar heat that comes through the roof. A veranda awning creates a comfortable climate on your patio, even on very sunny days, and at the same time protects your furniture from fading caused by UV radiation.

Yes, a veranda awning can be fitted in two ways. With external fitting (an on-roof awning), the fabric is placed on top of the patio cover, so that the sun's rays are blocked before they reach the cover. With internal fitting (an under-roof awning), the system is fixed beneath the patio cover, which is not only functional but also adds directly to the atmosphere and look of your patio through the colour and pattern of the fabric. The right choice depends on your specific situation and wishes. Our advisers will be happy to help you make the best choice for your patio cover.

At Renoco we offer high-quality screen fabrics from renowned brands such as Verano and Dickson. These fabrics are available in a wide range of colours and patterns, so you will always find one that perfectly matches your patio cover and the style of your home. The fabrics have been specially developed for outdoor use and have excellent properties such as UV resistance, colourfastness, water repellency and mould resistance. Depending on the fabric chosen, the awning can block 70% to 97% of the sun's heat, while still letting in plenty of light and preserving the view.

Veranda awnings are supplied as standard with electric operation, which makes them as easy as possible to use. You can choose from various control options: from a simple switch to a remote control or even smart control via your smartphone. With the Somfy Connexoon or TaHoma control systems you can operate your sun shading remotely, even when you are not at home. For extra comfort, automatic sensors that respond to sun, wind and rain can also be installed, so that your veranda awning works fully automatically and your patio always gets the best possible protection.

Veranda awnings are designed for minimal maintenance. For the aluminium parts it is enough to wipe them a few times a year with a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a mild cleaning agent. You can clean the fabric regularly by rinsing it with clean water to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn stains you may use a soft brush with lukewarm water and mild soap. Always let the fabric dry thoroughly before you roll it up again. We also recommend checking the technical parts, such as the motor and guide rails, once a year for correct operation and, where necessary, having them serviced by a professional.

A quality veranda awning from Renoco lasts 10 to 15 years on average with normal use and proper maintenance. The aluminium structure is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion, discolouration and the weather. The high-quality awning fabrics are specially treated to remain UV-resistant and colourfast for many years. The electrical components have an expected lifespan of 7 to 10 years, depending on use. At Renoco you receive a 5-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects as standard, which underlines that we stand fully behind the quality of our products.

With RenoCare Zilver or Goud you extend that to 10 years' all-in warranty: call-out charges, labour and parts are then included.

Veranda awnings are designed to function in a range of weather conditions, but there are some limitations. The awning stands up very well to sun, rain and light wind. In strong wind (wind force 5 or higher) it is advisable to retract the awning to prevent damage. Modern systems can be fitted with wind sensors that retract the awning automatically when wind speeds are too high. In snow or freezing rain it is likewise important to keep the awning retracted to prevent damage. With the right care and attention during extreme weather, you can enjoy your veranda awning for years.

The price of a veranda awning depends on various factors, such as the dimensions, the type of fabric, the operation and any extra options. As a guide, you can assume a starting price from €3,352 for a standard V610 Oslo model 3 metres wide with a projection of 2.5 metres, including installation. For an exact price, we will be happy to prepare a tailored, no-obligation quotation after visiting your home to measure accurately on site. Although the initial investment may seem considerable, a veranda awning is a long-lasting solution that increases your living comfort, can lower energy costs and extends the life of your patio furniture.
