Gail’s Bakery has opened its newest location in Windsor and the launch was a resounding success. With an impressive turnout of enthusiastic customers, the opening day highlighted just how loved the brand has become across the UK. Radiant Blinds & Awnings were delighted to support this exciting new chapter by designing, manufacturing and installing three open-ended fixed frame awnings in Gail’s iconic deep red fabric, complete with bespoke signwriting produced by our in-house signwriter.
A Beautifully Finished Shopfront for a Beloved Brand
The Windsor bakery now features three expertly crafted awnings that enhance the visual appeal of the shopfront while strengthening Gail’s instantly recognisable identity. The bold red colour paired with hand-finished signwriting offers strong street presence which is vital for a high footfall location like Windsor.
What Is an Open-Ended Fixed Frame Awning?
An open-ended fixed frame awning is a sturdy, permanently installed awning structure designed to offer year-round protection and aesthetic appeal. Unlike retractable awnings, fixed frame models stay in place at all times, making them ideal for busy commercial environments. “Open-ended” refers to the lack of enclosed side panels, creating a clean, modern look that complements a wide range of architectural styles.
Benefits of an Open-Ended Fixed Frame Awning
Long-lasting durability thanks to a strong, fixed structure
Consistent weather protection for windows, entrances and customers
Improved airflow due to open sides, reducing wind resistance
Permanent shade that helps reduce heat and sun exposure inside the shop
Excellent branding potential thanks to their solid, visible design
This makes the open-ended fixed frame awning a perfect choice for vibrant, busy high streets like Windsor.
High-Performance Fabric Designed to Stay Clean - the red fabric used for Gail’s Bakery is not only visually striking, it is also specially treated to resist water, dirt and general weather damage. This protective treatment:
Helps prevent water staining
Reduces the buildup of dust or grime
Discourages mould growth
Maintains rich colour by protecting against UV fading
This ensures the awnings stay looking fresh and immaculate, even with constant exposure to the unpredictable British weather.
