Hotels, restaurants and pubs are discovering the benefits of a more sophisticated solution to their al fresco areas. A permanent structure with retractable roof and the options of folding sliding doors, drop screens, lighting, heating including eco heating, flooring including slabs, tiles, wood and vinyl plank all go make a versatile solution. The benefits of a retractable roof means the best of both worlds letting the sun shine in on those precious summer days but keeping it cosy and warm for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n
One of our first installations was at the Radio Bar at Hotel Me<\/strong> on the Strand. This involved lifting the system up to the 10th<\/sup> floor roof terrace. Great views from the top but a few nail biting moments watching it swinging above the London skyline. Two systems were installed on the two terraces opening out from the bar.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Loyal customer Ocean Beach in Southend on Sea installed a patiola terrace awning in 2009 and replaced it in 2014 with a Loca Terrace awning with folding sliding doors<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Our next major project at Adventure Island in Southend \u2013on-Sea has led to several other installations all from a recommendation by the owners of Ocean Beach. A large decked area at this leisure park had umbrellas but the owners wanted a versatile extension to their restaurant. We installed a Loca Terrace awning and folding sliding doors to a decked area and also enclosed a further decked area to the rear of their fish and chip shop.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The brand new Heston Hyde<\/strong> luxury hotel at Heathrow saw the benefits and installed a 360 square meter roof over a courtyard linking two wings of the hotel making an ideal space for large gatherings e.g. Weddings, The structure incorporates wall mounted heaters and roof lights.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Foxton Locks Inn <\/strong>near Market Harborough is one of our loyal customers. We originally installed giant umbrellas here in 2007, updated them with sliding screens in 2009 and replaced the umbrellas with a superb Loca Terrace awning in 2014. This installation incorporates a heat source pump, sliding doors and roof mounted lights.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Recent projects include the Hippodrome Casino Leicester Square, The Chaser Inn in Tonbridge, Selfridges roof terrace Oxford St<\/p>\n
