Superior Sun Protection
St Ives homes with north-facing decks and open garden entertaining areas cop the full force of Sydney’s summer sun. Built to block UV before it reaches the people and surfaces below, our awnings provide real protection — not just shade. That makes a genuine difference to how comfortable and usable those spaces are through January and February.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Shading north and west-facing windows before the sun hits the glass is far more effective than cooling a room down once heat has already built up inside. Covering those key glazed areas naturally reduces the load on your air conditioning across summer. For St Ives homes with wide rear elevations, the difference across several rooms adds up over the season.

Weather Resistance
Sydney’s climate puts outdoor products through a hard annual cycle — strong UV, high humidity, and the occasional severe storm. Made from UV-stabilised canvas, mesh, and PVC fabrics, our awnings resist fading, handle moisture well, and stay structurally sound through years of outdoor use. Your outdoor furniture and flooring stay protected as a result.

Customisable Options
St Ives has a good mix of brick veneer family homes, larger contemporary builds, and some well-maintained period properties. We carry folding arm awnings for open decks and entertaining areas, straight drop awnings for windows and verandah openings, and the Luxaflex EVO MagnaTrack for larger or more wind-exposed situations. Fabric options span heritage tones through to contemporary finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install awnings in St Ives?
Yes — St Ives is a regular part of our Upper North Shore service area. We offer free in-home consultations and all installation is done by our own team.
What awning suits a large north-facing deck in St Ives?
Folding arm awnings are the go-to — they extend out without floor posts and multiple units run side by side for wider spans. For situations needing side coverage or stronger wind resistance, the Luxaflex EVO MagnaTrack is worth considering.
Are motorised awnings available?
Yes, across all our main awning ranges. Remote, app, and smart home integration are all options. Adding a wind sensor means the awning retracts automatically when conditions turn — handy given how quickly storms can build near the national park.
What fabric works best in a leafy, bush-adjacent suburb like St Ives?
Woven acrylic fabrics are generally the better choice — they allow airflow, resist mould in shaded spots, and hold their colour well over time. We’ll advise on the right weight and colour at your consultation.
How do I maintain an awning?
A clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush two or three times a year is all it takes. Avoid pressure washing — it damages the UV coating. Always retract folding arm awnings before storms or high winds.
