If you’re looking for a way to add shade to your property and protect your interior from the harsh Australian sun, then there is often no greater choice than with the installation of Awnings. Designed specifically to shield your home from damaging UV rays, they are an excellent choice for any home – and a huge range of design and fabric options mean they are sure to suit your architecture as well! If you want to take your awnings to the next level, then motorisation could be the ideal addition. However, you may want to consider if an electrical retractable awning is durable before making any investments.

 

Choosing the Right Fabric

We only use the highest quality fabrics for our awnings, but in doing so, we offer a range of choice to ensure you achieve the look you’re after without compromising on strength and durability.

  • Canvas: One of the more traditional options, canvas awnings are ideal for shading your home, and is capable of standing up to even the harshest weather conditions. Even better, it’s UV and mold resistant, so you don’t need to worry about damage during day to day use.
