Imagine how wonderful it would be to spend more time enjoying your garden than ever before - adding extra living space to your home and creating the perfect environment for outdoor entertaining all year round. By adding awnings to your Sydney property, you can!

In a city with a varied climate such as Sydney, awnings give you the satisfaction of knowing that whatever the weather, you can enjoy your outdoors living. No more rushing indoors during light summer showers or having to cancel outdoor plans – with an awning you can indulge in outdoor entertainment with confidence and always have the perfect excuse for alfresco dining or having friends round for a barbecue party.

Effectively extending your living room into your Sydney garden, awnings provide you with an outdoor space that is protected from the elements.

 

Materials used in awnings:

 

Awnings should be manufactured from the most durable components combined with advanced technology and beautiful fabrics. Available in a range of colours and fabrics, retractable awnings will enhance your Sydney home and garden. Modern and stylish, bright and bold, plain or prints - whatever your taste or preference, you will be able to complement your surroundings by adding awnings to your Sydney property.

Awnings are made to endure the most extreme weather conditions, with fabrics and other components that are able to resist fading and temperature fluctuations.

 

Fabrics need to be:

• Teflon coated, so that they won't weaken when exposed to the natural elements.

• Coated with an anti-mildew treatment, to help prevent unsightly markings or spots.

• Strain resistant, to ensure that they won't shrink or twist.

 

UV-stabilised to resist fading.

The structure of the awning will most likely be made of a heavy-duty aluminium that will not bend, twist or buckle during operation. Besides that, the whole structure has to be hung upon stainless steel brackets, which are powder, coated to make them highly resistant to cracking, chipping and peeling.

To ensure easy opening and closing of your awning, it should come with a remote control, which you can use outdoors as well as indoors.

If you choose an awning with innovative sun and wind sensors, they'll think for themselves, automatically extending as the sun comes out and then closing if the wind blows too strongly. This will ensure optimal safety and best use of your awning.

An awning effectively extends your living room into the garden, by giving you an outdoor space that is protected from the elements.
