Awnings Sydney

Window awnings are external window coverings that have been around for hundreds of years. Window awnings date back to ancient Egypt, Syria and Rome, and were used most famously on the Colosseum. Awnings are attached to the outside wall of your house, providing a shield from the sun. They will keep your home cooler, reduce your air-conditioning bills, and help protect furnishings from sun damage. As well as being used over windows, these window coverings can be installed above doors, or used to shade decks or patios. Complete Blinds have an extensive range of different styles to choose from.

If you already have awnings installed, we offer a recovering service. Save your money and have your existing frames recovered!

What Are Awnings?

A window awning is an exterior device that is typically made of metal or canvas that provides shade over windows, doors or patios.

What are the Benefits of Awnings?

Awnings offer both aesthetic and functional benefits:

1. Awnings offer protection from the sun, rain, snow and other elements.
2. By minimising direct sunlight, they lower energy consumption by reducing the temperature inside the home.
3. They can protect indoor furniture, carpets, flooring and wallpaper from fading.
4. For businesses, awnings can be used as a marketing tool to create a corporate image, as well as to draw the attention of passers-by.  They can also be a cost-effective way of advertising a brand or a product.
5. Awnings can provide privacy – both for exteriors and interiors.
6. Aesthetically, they also add beauty to your home by enhancing the architecture.  Awnings can serve as a finishing touch by giving an elegant and sophisticated look to any home or establishment.
7. Awnings can provide UV protection.  Nowadays, people are conscious of skin damage from the sun, and with awnings, this can be avoided.
8. Awnings also aid in the expansion of space – so home or business owners can optimize outdoor areas.

Awning Designs

Fixed awnings

These are permanently attached to a building and cannot be raised or lowered. However, they offer a traditional style and are extremely durability.

Retractable awnings

Retractable awnings are usually made from canvas or other durable fabrics. They are cantilevered structures that are entirely supported by the building and by a support frame, and can be easily adjusted to provide maximum shade when required.

Mechanical awnings

Mechanical awnings provide ease-of-operation and can be integrated into a Smart Home system or operated with a remote control.  Many of our awnings can be motorised. Read more about Somfy motorisation technology.

Awnings over Windows

Window awnings offer many benefits. Aside from protecting windows from damage, lowered awnings can enhance privacy. Window awnings also increase the usage of the outdoor space –offering protection from ultraviolet rays, rain and hail.  In addition, large open awnings can serve as parking shades in open areas. Proven to be tough and shock resistant, awnings are designed to be strong and can withstand storms and winds.  They can be opened at any angle – slightly open, half-open or fully opened to provide full protection from the sun.

Awnings over doors

Awnings over doors offer protection from rain and sunlight, promoting the longevity of the door and surrounding building features.  They can also provide a protected space for waiting guests. In addition, they add a sophisticated and well-appointed feature to the home. In a business setting, they can provide an opportunity for the display of a company logo or design and can enhance the branding of the business.

Awnings over Patios and Verandas

Outdoor awnings can also be customized for patios and verandas.  They provide shelter from the elements and protect outdoor furniture from weather-based deterioration. Importantly, they extend the length of time within the year in which to enjoy the outdoors. You can enjoy coffee, drinks and meals with guests all year round!

How to Maintain Awnings

To extend the life of your awnings, it is important to maintain them regularly. Check once in a while for damage like bent, rusted or dented frames. Schedule an annual cleaning by using a water solution and mild soap.  Make sure that lukewarm or cold water is used for cleaning.  Firstly, use a broom or a stiff brush to remove any kind of debris like dust, insect nests, leaves and twigs.  When you see stains from bird droppings treat them immediately. If you live in snow-prone areas, it is best to remove the awning before the snow season begins.  Just ensure to clean them before storing.
