For almost 130 years, we've been manufacturing awnings for British shopkeepers and commercial businesses from our London workshop in Putney. Deans Blinds are the original manufacture of the Victorian-style canopy that today we call the Deans Shop Awning. Back in 1894, Deans Blinds pioneered the idea of commercial awnings for shops and pubs in the High Street.
Through quality and craftsmanship, our hard-earned reputation for excellence is stronger than ever. Today, Deans Blinds are the awning supplier of choice for many major commercial businesses, like UK-wide retail chains, shops & stores, restaurants, hotels and pubs. Every custom-built commercial awning is a totally bespoke project and we can handle all stages, including planning, design, manufacture and installation.
Our extensive range of residential awning solutions let you make the most of your outdoor space, from sophisticated patio awning systems for outdoor entertaining to pivoting awnings and canopies for smaller areas - not to mention essential accessories like wind-breaks and patio heaters.

Deans history spans three centuries as the leading UK manufacturer and installer of blinds and awnings.
The company was founded in London by a policeman's son, Tom Dean, in 1894 and was later taken over by his brother John.
John Dean started out making canvas bags, which were in great demand as water carriers by the British forces across the Victorian Empire, especially in South Africa during the Boer War.
Between the two world wars Deans became well known nationally, not only as a major force in blind making but also the owner was chairman of the local Fulham football club during its inter war heyday.

Why do I need an awning outside - won't inside blinds or curtains protect my furnishings?
Yes, they will.
But you won't be able to see the lovely day outside and the awning will reduce the heat gain inside your home.
