Gurbuz Street Food in Spafield Street, EC1 had a new traditional Victorian awning fitted this week. At Radiant Blinds, we have improved the traditional Victorian awnings over time to ensure that they can cope with the British weather. For example, we have replaced some of the boxing with a more resistant aluminium casing at the top and back. In the old timber version, the water and snow would rest on the wood and slowly eat into it. We still use hardwood cheeks and a timber front lath and tacker. The arms are designed and bent to suit the exact requirements of the building and the awning is operated with a traditional pull down pole. Our signwriter painted branding onto the awning which has complimented the cover perfectly.
