Heated and Lit Awnings Across Wakefield and the WF Postcode
Heaters and LED on a Wakefield awning are wired to a single remote alongside the awning motor. One press extends the fabric, drops LED to dimmed warm-white, and triggers the heaters. Sensors handle it hands-free if you're not there.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a heater bar add to an awning in Wakefield?
Infrared heater bars typically add £600-£1,400 to a Wakefield awning installation, depending on width and heat output. LED strip is usually £250-£500 on top.
Do infrared heaters work in West Yorkshire wind?
Yes — infrared heats objects and people directly rather than warming the surrounding air, so it isn't lost to wind. central-Yorkshire average rainfall but exposed to easterly winter winds — side screens tend to feature on final orders, and heater bars remain effective under a retracted-cassette design.
Can I dim the LED strip?
Yes — dimmable as standard, remote-controlled, and paired to the same handset as the awning and heater. One button for all three.
Is it safe near the fabric?
Yes — infrared heaters are rated for outdoor use directly beneath awning fabric. The heater bar sits on the front rail well clear of the retracted cassette.
Do you cover Barnsley?
Yes — Barnsley is 14 miles from Wakefield and installs on the same weekly run.
