Zipscreen

Zipscreen awnings are designed to create sleek, enclosed outdoor spaces that are protected from wind, rain and insects. They use a specially engineered track-guided system that holds the fabric taut and secure, even in breezy conditions. Ideal for patios, verandahs and balconies, Zipscreens offer privacy and weather protection while maintaining airflow and visibility, making them a popular year-round solution.

Veue Awning Range

The Veue awning range is a versatile collection of high-performance systems suited to both residential and commercial applications. With multiple configurations including straight-drop, cable-guided and pivot-arm styles, these awnings are designed for durability and ease of use. They combine sleek aesthetics with practical functionality, offering effective sun and heat control without compromising architectural appeal.

Folding Arm Awnings

Folding arm awnings are perfect for providing retractable shade over large outdoor areas such as decks, courtyards and café fronts. They fold away neatly when not in use and extend out smoothly when needed. With no vertical supports, they preserve open space and are available in motorised or manual options for ease of operation and flexible use.

Shan Awnings

Shan awnings are known for their classic design and reliable weather protection. Typically used over windows and entryways, they reduce solar heat gain and protect from rain while still allowing ventilation. With a wide range of fabrics and colours to choose from, they’re a great way to add practical shade and aesthetic value to your home or shopfront.

  • What type of awning is best for wind protection?

    Zipscreen awnings are one of the best options for wind protection. Their track-guided system keeps the fabric firmly in place, preventing flapping or billowing in breezy conditions. They’re particularly effective on balconies, verandahs or outdoor entertaining areas where consistent coverage and stability are important.

  • Can awnings help reduce indoor cooling costs?

    Yes, installing awnings over windows and glass doors can significantly reduce heat transfer into the home. By blocking direct sunlight, especially during peak hours, awnings help maintain cooler indoor temperatures and reduce reliance on air conditioning, making them an energy-efficient solution for homes and businesses.

  • Are folding arm awnings suitable for all outdoor spaces?

    Folding arm awnings work best in open areas where you want retractable shade without posts or supports. They’re great for decks, patios and alfresco areas. However, they require a solid wall or structure to attach the mounting brackets, so installation conditions and load requirements should be assessed by a professional.
