Retractable awnings offer versatility, comfort and convenience

A retractable awning is a flexible folding roof-like structure that extends outward, providing shade and weather protection for your windows or outdoor space. When not needed the awning can be retracted, preserving your view and natural light. Retractable awnings are designed to:

• Provide shade and protection from the sun
• Offer shelter from light rain (enjoy your outdoor space for longer)
• Enhance your decor / aesthetics with sleek, modern designs
• Provide flexible control over shade and sunlight as needed
• Ensure easy retraction when not required (subtle, unobtrusive).

Our range includes options that can be mounted to buildings, walls or roofs and be operated manually with a crank, or motorised for convenience. Depending on the structure, surfaces can include brick walls, concrete, weatherboard, render, eaves/soffits, tile and even colorbond roofs. Choose from a variety of styles and colours for your retractable awning, incorporating your desired functionality, preferred aesthetics and user features.

Professional retractable awning installation

Our experienced technicians will assess your space, plan and execute correct installation to ensure that your retractable awning is safe, secure and correctly mounted. We will determine a suitable mounting location with adequate structural support to hold the weight of the awning (including potential wind load), ensuring sufficient clearance for it to operate smoothly (without obstacles such as light fixtures or downpipes!).
