Year-Round Comfort
Traditional Awnings
Traditional awnings offer a timeless solution for shading windows, doors and outdoor areas. Fixed in place with a solid frame, they’re great for year-round protection from sun and rain. We can match the style and shape to suit your home’s exterior, whether you want a bold design feature or a more subtle finish. Traditional awnings are low maintenance and ideal for spaces where you want constant shade without needing to retract or adjust the structure.
Year-Round Comfort
Straight Drop Awnings
Straight drop awnings are perfect for enclosing outdoor spaces, adding privacy and shielding against wind or low-angle sun. They drop vertically from the roofline or structure and can be secured with clips, tracks or cables for a clean, functional look. Great for patios, verandahs or balconies, these awnings come in a range of fabric types, including mesh for airflow or full blockout for maximum protection. They’re available in manual or motorised systems depending on your needs.
Year-Round Comfort
Folding Arm Awnings
Folding arm awnings provide flexible, retractable shade for patios, decks and outdoor entertaining areas. They extend out when needed and tuck away neatly when not in use – no posts or frames required. Ideal for open spaces where you don’t want permanent structures, they offer great coverage and airflow while maintaining a streamlined look. Choose from manual crank or motorised operation, with a range of durable fabrics to suit your sun protection needs and outdoor style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of awning is best for wind protection?
Straight drop awnings and zip-track styles are best for wind protection. These designs anchor securely to the ground or wall, creating a barrier that resists strong breezes. They’re ideal for balconies, patios or pergolas where wind exposure is high. Look for heavy-duty fabrics and reinforced frames for added stability in exposed areas.
Can awnings help lower indoor temperatures?
Yes – awnings reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering your windows, which can significantly lower indoor heat. By shading glass surfaces, they help block radiant heat and reduce the need for air conditioning. Folding arm awnings and window-mounted awnings are particularly effective for cooling north- or west-facing rooms.
What fabrics are best for outdoor awnings?
High-quality acrylic and polyester fabrics are commonly used for outdoor awnings. These materials are UV-resistant, fade-resistant and water-repellent, making them ideal for Australian weather. Mesh fabrics offer light filtering and airflow, while canvas provides heavier shade and durability. Choose a fabric based on your desired level of light, privacy and exposure to elements.
