Why Choose Our Awnings?

A retractable awning is one of the most effective ways to enhance your outdoor space without the need for a permanent structure. Extending in seconds when you need shade and retracting neatly when not in use, our awnings offer complete flexibility for modern outdoor living.

Choose from manual crank-operated or fully electric awnings with remote control operation for effortless convenience. Many models can also be upgraded with integrated LED lighting, wind sensors, sun sensors and heating, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space well into the evening.

By reducing direct sunlight on patios, bi-fold doors and large glazed areas, awnings can also help minimise solar heat gain inside your home, creating a cooler and more comfortable indoor environment during warmer months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a manual and electric awning?

Manual awnings are operated using a winding handle, while electric awnings extend and retract at the touch of a button using a remote control or wall switch. Electric models offer greater convenience and can often be upgraded with automatic weather sensors.

Are retractable awnings waterproof?

Most awning fabrics are water-resistant and designed to provide protection during light rain showers. However, retractable awnings should be closed during heavy rain, snow or strong winds unless the specific model is designed for those conditions.

Can awnings be used all year round?

Yes. Retractable awnings can be used throughout the year whenever weather conditions are suitable. During winter or periods of severe weather, retracting the awning helps protect the fabric and maximise its lifespan.

Do awnings help keep my home cooler?

Yes. By shading windows, patio doors and glazed extensions from direct sunlight, awnings can significantly reduce solar heat entering your home, helping to create a more comfortable indoor temperature during summer months.
