Traditional Victorian Awning Installation in Berkshire...
Radiant Blinds & Awnings recently completed the installation of a beautiful Traditional Victorian awning for a private home in Caversham, Reading, creating an elegant finishing touch that perfectly complements the character and appearance of this lovely property.
A Traditional Victorian Awning with a Clean, Timeless Finish
Traditional Victorian awnings remain a wonderful choice for period and character properties, combining classic styling with practical and effective solar shading. For this particular installation, the customer selected a wonderfully fresh cloud white awning fabric, giving the finished awning a crisp, understated appearance. The soft white shade works beautifully against the exterior of the property and provides a timeless look that feels both traditional and contemporary. One of the particularly attractive details of this bespoke awning was the round front lath. Rather than incorporating a conventional hanging valance, the cloud white fabric was carefully wrapped around the round lath, creating a beautifully neat and streamlined front edge. The absence of a valance gives the awning a slightly more minimal appearance while still retaining all the charm and authenticity associated with a Traditional Victorian awning.
Bespoke Traditional Awnings Made for Individual Properties
At Radiant Blinds & Awnings, our traditional Victorian awnings are made to suit the individual property rather than taking a one size fits all approach. Details such as the awning dimensions, fabric, front lath and overall finish can all make an enormous difference to the final appearance. On this Caversham installation, the combination of the round lath, wrapped fabric and fresh cloud white colour resulted in an exceptionally clean and elegant finish. The simplicity of the design allows the architecture of the house to remain the focus while the awning adds character, shade and a beautiful traditional feature to the exterior.
Practical Solar Shading with Traditional Character
As well as enhancing the appearance of a property, an external awning provides highly effective solar shading. By helping to prevent strong sunlight from reaching windows and glazed doors, an awning can help to reduce excessive solar heat gain inside the home, particularly during warm summer weather. It can also help protect interior furnishings, flooring and fabrics from prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and UV rays. When extended, a traditional Victorian awning also creates a pleasantly shaded area immediately outside the property, making patios and terraces more comfortable during sunny weather.

A Beautiful Addition to This Caversham Home
We were delighted with the finished result of this recent Traditional Victorian awning installation in Caversham, Reading. The cloud white fabric looks wonderfully fresh against the property, while wrapping the fabric neatly around the round front lath with no valance gives the awning a particularly clean and sophisticated appearance. It is a perfect example of how a carefully designed bespoke awning can provide valuable shade without detracting from the character of a beautiful home.
