Retractable Roofs for Patios: Expanding Space for Customers
Here at Loca Shading Designs we’ve been providing beautiful bespoke coverings for outside spaces for more than 20 years. Our retractable roofs for patios have allowed countless businesses to expand their capacity and increase their revenue. Read on to discover how you can grow your customer base while still providing a socially distanced service. And all within the existing footprint of your premises.
An aspiration for any successful business is often to provide more capacity for customers. Whether it’s a golf club, leisure centre or an independent bar or bistro, space is generally at a premium. Exterior space is particularly precious, but because of where we live it can also be an issue. You may have plenty of room outside, but UK weather tends to make it redundant for much of the year.
Making the most of your space
Despite our unpredictable weather, the UK’s food and drink economy is increasingly moving outdoors. 25 years ago tables and chairs on the street would have been an unusual sight, but not any more.
However, we’ll never be the Mediterranean, and that means our alfresco activities are limited to certain times of the year. Unless of course you’ve been farsighted enough to have a retractable roof pergola installed.
A covered space is a profitable space
The truth is, many businesses have valuable outside space that they find it hard to fully utilise. With a retractable roof, a unique pergola system or even just a commercial awning, these spaces could be earning money.
An unattractive yard at the back of a restaurant can be transformed into a stunning additional room. And with a retractable roof customers can still dine alfresco in the summer. A simple awning outside a cafe can provide cover for additional seating, encouraging people to stop for a coffee.
Instead of storing your outside tables and chairs for the winter, why not use them all year round. With retractable roofs, or even jumbrellas promoting your brand, you can boost your kerb appeal as well as your income.
Explore the possibilities
Here at Loca Shading Designs we work closely with our clients to ensure we provide the perfect solution. From complex projects to simple retractable roofs for patios, there is always an option to suit the situation.
In Birmingham, we turned the outdoor area in front of a popular Italian restaurant into an all year round space. Glass screens provide weather protection and privacy. The retractable roof canopy offers the flexibility of either enclosed or alfresco dining.
A bar and tapas restaurant in Manchester had limited seating but some additional space outside for more tables. A retractable pergola roof and vertical side blinds have increased the restaurant’s capacity, whatever the weather.
