What are outdoor awnings?
An awning is a covering commonly made of fabric or aluminum that extends over an outdoor area to provide extra space. Awnings provide shade and protection from the weather and allow you to enjoy the outdoors all year-round. Awnings turn your patio or deck into a more viable space for your family and visitors to all enjoy. Awnings can also reflect up to 70% of heat, so they are energy efficient and a great investment.
So what do I need to consider when choosing an awning?
There a number of factors to consider when choosing an awning, the following are a great start;
1. Space – One of the first things to consider when planning your outdoor area is the size of the outdoor space that you would like an awning/s for. This will determine what type of awning you need and if you need a customised awning that is designed and made specifically for you. Awnings can be attached to the exterior of your home for expanding your backyard, or attached to your windows and doors to protect the inside of your home and keep it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
2. Budget/Features – Our awnings come in a range of features and we can help discuss your options based on your budget and your requirements. We have “ready made” awnings which are more affordable than our customised awnings. Our motorised awnings are also more expensive then our manual awnings and depending on the awning size, pattern design and fabric choice you need, also varies the price for you.
3. Spoilt for Choice – Our outdoor awnings come in a huge array of patterns and styles. We can also custom make a particular design for you. We also have a range of awning materials including polyester, cotton, canvas, mesh and aluminium. You can purchase fabrics in a wide assortment of colors to match your style. You can use fabric awnings for retractable awnings and all the features associated with them. Whereas aluminium and acrylic awnings have less colour choices and will not work as well with retractable awnings.
