Window awnings 

Window awnings are perfect for those smaller windows that need extra shade.

Our window awnings come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your needs. Whether you want a classic design or something more modern, we have the perfect window awning for you.

Door awnings 

The main function of door awnings is to keep you dry when you're fumbling for your keys to open the door when it is pouring down. Plus, adding one above your front door will undoubtedly enhance your kerb appeal. These awnings are usually smaller and made with slightly transparent materials, allowing natural light to shine through while providing protection against the weather. Made from durable polycarbonate and featuring solid construction, our door awnings are built to withstand rain and other harsh elements without any problems. 

Patio awnings 

If you're looking to add shade to your patio, our patio awnings are a great choice. These awnings are usually larger and made from high-quality fabric. They come in a wide variety of colours and designs, allowing you to find the perfect match for your outdoor space. Whether you want a solid colour or a vibrant pattern, our patio awnings will transform your patio into a comfortable and stylish oasis.

Retractable awnings 

For ultimate flexibility on your patio, consider our retractable awnings. These awnings can be easily adjusted to provide shade when you need it and retract when you don't. With a simple push of a button or turn of a crank, you can control the amount of shade you want on your patio. Retractable awnings let you enjoy the benefits of shade on hot summer days and the option to bask in the sun when desired.

Put your make on your outdoor space with stylish awnings

Whether you're looking for a classic or vibrant look, we have the perfect awning to suit your taste. Our awnings come in a variety of colours and patterns, allowing you to create a unique and stylish outdoor area that is completely to your liking.

For a classic look, choose from our range of neutral colourways like white, cream or black. These awnings blend seamlessly with any outdoor space, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. Perfect for the contemporary-looking outdoor space or if you are looking for a timeless aesthetic.

If you're after a pop of colour and personality, our vibrant colourways and patterns are sure to impress. Including bold stripes in various fresh colour variants like yellow, blue or orange, these awnings are a great way to make a statement and add a playful touch to your outdoor area.

How to take care of and maintain your awning

Taking care of and maintaining your awning is essential to ensure its longevity and keep it looking its best. Whether you have a fabric or polycarbonate awning, here are some tips to help you keep it in great condition: 

Cleaning and maintaining fabric awnings 

For fabric awnings, start by removing any loose debris, such as leaves or dirt, with a soft brush or broom. Then, mix a solution of mild soap and warm water and use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the awning. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before retracting or folding it back up.

If you notice any stains on the fabric, treat them as soon as possible. For mildew stains, mix equal parts of water and white vinegar and gently scrub the affected area. Rinse well and let it dry. For other stubborn stains, you can use a fabric stain remover, following the instructions on the product.

To protect the fabric from fading and damage caused by UV rays, consider applying a fabric protector spray. This will create a barrier that repels dirt and water, making it easier to clean and maintain.

Lastly, remember to retract or fold up your awning during severe weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain. This will help prolong its lifespan and prevent any potential damage being done to the fabric.

Cleaning and maintaining polycarbonate awnings 

Polycarbonate awnings are normally quite easy to maintain and only require a quick cleaning and inspection from time to time. To clean your polycarbonate awning, start by rinsing off any loose debris with a garden hose. Then, mix a solution of mild soap and warm water and use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the awning. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes on polycarbonate awnings, as they can scratch the surface. Instead, opt for a soft cloth or sponge and gentle cleaning solutions.

We recommend that you regularly inspect your awning for any signs of damage, such as tears or loose fittings. Repair or replace any damaged parts as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your awning stays in great condition and continues to provide shade and protection for years to come.
