After three years in development, Thomas Sanderson has launched the Nexus Patio Awning.

Boasting advanced technological design this exclusive patio awning not only offers revolutionary new features, but also its sleek design will complement any home and garden.

The unique Mistral Wind Sensor built into the new patio awning, detects any movement of the canopy during windy conditions; should the wind reach an unsafe level, the Mistral Sensor will communicate wirelessly to the awning controls and immediately retract it, preventing damage to you and your property.

Further intelligent features include:

• The Advanced Light SolarSensor, a solar-powered light sensor communicates wirelessly to the awning’s electronic control, which can be programmed to extend the canopy as the sun rises and retract as night falls.
• A unique ‘nano’ coating ensures that rainwater will simply wash light dirt off the awning.
• Thomas Sanderson’s bespoke installation method, ensures that the awning fits to the wall in a tidy casing with minimal gaps and its integral control system avoids the need for conspicuous electrical control boxes.
• A beautiful collection of over 200 different fabrics, LED mood lighting and optional heaters and valances, make sure that the customer will find a style to suit their taste.

Also new this year are stylish Metal Venetian Blinds for the conservatory or elsewhere, offering a novel system whereby the blinds are fitted to each individual windowpane, providing excellent light and glare control; there are over 90 style and colour options.

Wave goodbye to grubby net curtains with the new Vari Light Blind from Thomas Sanderson; the product looks like a fabric Venetian Blind and its delicate, ethereal-like quality, makes it perfect for any room in the home.

The Vari-Light Blind is operated by remote control, so that you can alter your shade or privacy at the touch of a button; the control also features a memory option, enabling you to choose your desired setting to provide total shade and atmospheric control.

The blind is perfect for protecting your upholstery and carpets from fading in bright sunshine, since the fabric acts as a UV filter providing protection when open or closed; a dim out option is also available.

There is a choice of 14 colours and 2 louver widths (50 or 70 mm), plus 10 rail colours, so that you can coordinate your decor.

The Vari-Light Blind is part of the new Thomas Sanderson Window Blinds and Shutters Collection and comes with a 5-year guarantee.

Hillarys new Venetian blind collection is a diverse, up to the minute mix of bold bright colours, contemporary patterns and textures, cool metallics, earthy tones and an enhanced range of gorgeous shimmer effects.

“From the catwalk to the high street, current trends are all about pattern and strong colour,” says Sarah Quilliam, head of product design; “Our new Venetians collection picks up on those themes and features some really unusual designs such as Paisley Gold, metallic Treadplate and Sparkle Black, a lustrous shimmering black shot through with gold.”

There are more than 90 different slats to choose from in 12 different groups, ranging from classic Stripes and the candy-coloured deliciousness of Ice Cream to the pulsating vibrancy of Rio Carnival and the seventies disco feel of Shimmer.

The Venetians are available in 4 different slat widths* – 15mm, 25mm, 35mm and 50mm; “Size is really a matter of taste,” says Sarah, “although the light-filtering properties do vary slightly with more light coming through, the wider the slat”. (*Only selected blinds are available in all four slat widths).

Featured here is: - Grey and mulberry, which is a sophisticated and contemporary combination that also works well with an element of surprise, created by introducing a strong accent colour. Mulberry is from Hillarys Rio Carnival collection. Prices start at £55 (46cm wide x 61cm drop) measured, made and fitted.

Venetian blinds are still the most convenient method of controlling light at windows.

The Silent Gliss range of venetian blinds with their wide range of stunning colours provides an easy and effective way of adding a splash of colour to a room.

All Silent Gliss manual systems have a unique ‘mono’ operation with one single chain or cord operating both the tilting of the slats and the raising/lowering of the blind.

The 8100PC system has been designed so that the cord holes are in the back of the slats, to prevent direct light coming through the blind when closed, making it ideal for computer use.

Motorised control is also available on some systems, which delivers extra convenience and comfort.

Silent Gliss offer a wide range of finishes including metal and wooden slats.
