Case Study 1
Shade The Patio
Fred and Margaret Burrows always enjoyed spending time in their garden, but found it difficult to sit outside on their patio for long periods in the sun. One of their friends already had a patio awning and suggested they contact Cordula. "In the end we had visits from a number of awnings suppliers, but we were very impressed by the gentleman from Cordula, who answered all our questions - we really felt he helped us to choose the right patio awning for us."
Fred's worries about the installation process were quickly alleviated "It was all sorted so quickly, with no fuss - the awning was put up in one day and the fitters tidied everything up before they left. We were out on the patio enjoying the shade under our new awning the very next day."
Case Study 2
Protection From The Sun
Gill and Peter Crawford love to spend time with their family in their garden in Kent , but after reading a newspaper report on the harmful effects of the sun, became concerned about letting their grandchildren play outside unprotected. "We knew you shouldn't spend too long out in the sun, but never realised that UV rays were such an issue. We were a bit worried about the damage spending all day in the sun could cause to the kids' health". After researching possible solutions on the web, they contacted us about their range of patio awnings, all of which are UV rated. "The fact that all their sun awnings are UV-rated put our minds at rest. The wide choice of colours was a real bonus - we wanted the awning to look good as well!"
Since having their patio awning installed, the Crawfords have been enjoying spending more time out in the garden with their family. "In actual fact, now we have the awning we spend more time outside than before. It's nice to be able to sit outside in the shade on a hot afternoon, or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening".
Case Study 3
Protect Indoor Furnishings
Mary Hopkins was quite surprised when she looked through her patio doors from her garden and saw her sofa looked faded along one side. "I couldn't believe that my furnishings in the lounge were being ruined by the sunshine outside. My neighbour already had conservatory blinds from Cordula and told me they also did patio awnings, which seemed perfect, as it would protect the room from the sun." Mary arranged an appointment with her local Design Consultant, who came to visit her the next evening. "When the chap came round I was expecting him to be really pushy, a hard-nosed salesman. But it wasn't like that, we talked through my requirements and he explained how an awning could help the problem. I was very impressed by the sun sensor in particular, which makes the awning come out automatically in sunny weather, even if I'm not at home. It's exactly what I needed to help protect my sofa and carpet and it also means that my lounge doesn't turn into an oven in summer!"

Outdoor Living
Keith and Lynne Symes wanted to spend more time in their garden, but were fed up with the unpredictable British weather spoiling their plans. After researching awnings on the internet, they decided that this was an investment they had to make. "Every time we wanted to sit out in the garden it seemed to be either drizzling or too dark. The best solution for us seemed to be to buy a patio awning. When we told the lady from Cordula what we wanted, she took us through our options and showed us the night lights and patio heaters available - they were exactly what we needed, we couldn't be happier."
