When should I use Awnings?
Awnings are used to add architectural character to a building or home, as well as carry a highly functional purpose. Available in a number of materials and designs, awnings allow for an array of individualised design possibilities.
Typically attached above a window, door, or patio, awnings are able to detract the sun’s direct rays, reduce glaring. Depending on their primary function, awnings are composed in both fabric and aluminium.

Our collection of awnings include:
1. Aluminium Awnings

Fixed Hood Awnings – Our aluminium fixed hood awnings are low maintenance and versatile to withhold the harsh Australian Climate. Available in a Kingston, Caribbean and Bahamas design to suit every situation. Fixed hood awnings are an effective way in preventing solar heat gain through windows by stopping the heat before it reaches the window by providing shade.
Louvre Awnings – Enjoy airflow without compromising on shade. Our adjustable louvre awnings let you control light and ventilation with a simple touch, while the fixed version offers a sleek, low-maintenance solution.
These awnings are ideal for both residential and commercial property, including commercial spaces such as cafés and retail outlets, providing effective shading and enhancing the appeal of any environment.

Add character and year-round functionality with custom fabric awnings. Fabric awnings provide effective protection from direct sunlight for outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, and balconies.
