Do you have a hot or windy patio you rarely use? A deck without cover that you can only use at certain times of the day or year?

Awnings enhance your family’s outdoor lifestyle, but they also protect your outdoor furniture from the elements, keeping it looking good and helping it to last longer. If you’re looking to enhance an existing but unused outdoor space, awnings are ideal because they offer the flexibility to use an existing space in a new way.

Keep Cool
Awnings attached to your home’s exterior can help to keep your home interiors cool by cutting down the amount of sun and glare you let inside; adjust light and shade or the amount of sun protection according to the prevailing conditions.

An outdoor room created by awnings can change throughout the day with the movements of the sun, or throughout the seasons as their aspect favours warmer or cooler weather. Reducing your need for fans or air-conditioning keeps your electricity costs down. An awning will also allow you to open your doors and windows, to let in breezes, while keeping the weather out.

Look Smart
Awnings today are more than a practical addition to a home for temperature control purposes, they can actually enhance a building’s appearance, increase your use of outdoor space and even add to a home’s re-sale value.

Fabric awnings have the added benefit of enabling you to add the interest of a different texture to your outdoor landscape. Fabrics can complement harder surfaces like render and give you the opportunity to add a colour or pattern to a plain outdoor environment.

Choose from Manual or Motorised Awnings
While awnings have been on the market for many years, the technology and the manufacturing processes behind them just get better and better. Choose from crank operated awnings or motorised awnings, depending on your preference. Motorised awnings come with advanced technology including wind and sun sensors, providing extra peace of mind that your home is automatically protected in extreme weather.

Optional Powder Coating Addition
Awnings can be supplied with or without a powdercoated finish, but a powdercoated finish will protect your investment, keeping your awnings looking as new for years to come. Powdercoating allows you to colour-match or complement your awning hardware to the fabric you’ve chosen, and it will ensure better protection from the elements for years to come. While these components are strong and sturdy, powdercoating offers a coloured finish that provides extra protection.
