One of the key benefits of awnings is their excellent performance against nature’s elements, which is a highly valued attribute for any outdoor investment in Australia. Outdoor window awnings screen the sun’s glare and heat more effectively than interior blinds. The tough, durable fabrics and fixtures on our external window awnings retain their sleek appearance and protective qualities season after season, allowing you to extend the longevity of your outdoor furniture and flooring while creating an attractive outdoor area.

We have a huge range of canvas fabrics available that provide a 100% UV blockout. Or retain your views by selecting one of our many screen mesh fabrics which allow light to filter into your home.

Our window awnings come in a range of prints, including classic stripe and block colours to give your home a fresh and contemporary look. No matter how your Melbourne home is styled, we can help you find the perfect products to suit your needs.

TYPES OF WINDOW AWNINGS IN MELBOURNE

  • Traditional / Automatic Awnings
  • Traditional / Automatic Awnings

Automatic Sunblinds Window Awning

Despite the name this Awning isn’t actually motorised. Yes, a bit unusual but accurate as it takes its name from the really clever automatic locking mechanism it has. If you need to shade your windows from direct sunlight, without sacrificing fresh air and gentle breezes then the Automatic Window Awning is for you. Ideal for ground floor locations.

This Awning style is fixed to the wall and is adjusted by guiding the arms up and down the rails, automatically locking into position when the arms are released in a 90 degree position – see we told you, clever don’t you think? The angled design sits out from the window, allowing airflow while maintaining privacy and protection from sun and heat.

Longer side arms increase the Awning’s angled projection from the window which provides a larger air pocket allowing the Awning to work more efficiently and let fresh air in to cool the home. Arm sizes available are 150,300,450mm so the larger the arm the larger the set angle

When retracted, the fabric is protected year-round by a powder coated steel hood that can be colour matched to the façade. Traditional awning included a 5 sided rail which comes in large color range and typical are hidden by weather flaps, the 2 options for traditional auto window awnings are straight or scallop finishh Expect superior performance year after year thanks to our mouldings, sourced from the engineering industry, which give outstanding strength and longevity.

Fixed Guide Window Awning

Fixed guided traditional awning are the ideal option for high or difficult to reach windows as they can be operate via crank or motorisation unlike auto sunblinds.

Fixed Guided unlike auto awnings have side rail set to a fixed position straight or on a set angle as the guides run through the rail and there is not arms to fold out, thus they are operate via crank or motors, some people even on ground floors prefer crank as they need less force or resistance to operate rather than pulling a spring loaded blind.

Similar to the Automatic Window Awning, the angled design protrudes from the window, inviting breezes while maintaining privacy and protection from sun and heat. The fabric is threaded through vertical guide rails that are attached to the side of the building or window, so set stratght or use l-bracket

To increase the Awning’s angled projection from the window which provides a larger air pocket allowing the Awning to work more efficiently and let fresh air in to cool the home. When retracted, the fabric is protected year-round by a powder coated steel hood that can be colour matched to the façade.

Drop Arm Awnings or Pivot Arm Awnings

Drop-arm awnings or otherwise known as pivot-arm awnings are a great way of providing shade for your home or business. These installations are ideal over doorways, terraces, balconies and shop fronts.

Drop arm awnings can be motorised or manually operated so large areas can be covered easily. Reduce room temperatures, prevent wooden flooring from warping and carpets from fading, protect soft-furnishings or commercial stock, fixtures and fittings from the damaging effect of the harsh sun with drop arm window awnings. Also for the modern home our new Solto Pivot arm awning is available with a fully enclosed 135mm headbox.

Ideal for any window, motorised installations are particularly suitable for windows on upper floors. Manual operation suits ground and lower levels with easy access. Drop-arm outdoor window awnings can act as a canopy and function as an excellent alternative to folding arm awnings. Choose canvas or acrylic fabric to create a near-total blockout. Otherwise, opt for a mesh fabric to optimise protection from the sun while keeping your views.

It can be operated with a spring, manual crank or Automated and uses no guides making it ideal for sun/UV protection, airflow or where fixed arms or guides are not possible. It is the perfect Awning to select if posts, pillars or walls are not available for the installation of the guides. The Straight Drop is the only Window Awning style that can be used for both Window Awnings or as a cost-effective Alfresco Awning. A hood is used instead of a headbox and a different base rail to the Straight Drop Alfresco Awning is used.
