Comptoir Cafe took delivery of three new traditional Victorian awnings for the outside of their premises in Weighouse Street, W1 this week. Radiant have been making these types of awnings for a very long time and over the years have improved the design to ensure 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 as in the old timber version, the water or snow would rest on the wood and slowly eat into it. We use hardwood cheeks and a timber front lath and tacker and the arms are bent to suit the exact requirements of the building. The awning is operated by a traditional pull down pole. Comptoir cafe is a relaxed, low key cafe and bar which is open for all day dining with a spacious, well stocked wine store and a really nice little find.
