Types of Traditional Awnings
Traditional Sun Blind
Angle outward to reduce heat entry while keeping airflow. Perfect for north-facing windows.
Fixed Guide Awnings
Strong and sturdy - ideal for upper-storey windows or harder-to-reach areas. They angle outward to maximise airflow and withstand harsh coastal conditions.
Operated by pulley, manual crank or motorised systems.
Wire Guide Awnings
A modern alternative using stainless steel side cables for guided movement.
With excellent corrosion resistance, they are suited to upper levels (when motorised), large windows, balconies and areas exposed to sea air.
Straight Drop Awnings
Drop vertically for simple, effective shading.
Ideal for:
Patios
Pergolas
Balconies or windows needing a clean, modern look
Note: Conventional/traditional awnings are not suited to motorisation, except fixed guide and wire guide models which offer manual or motorised configurations.
