Finding the Perfect Shade for Your Sydney Home

Are you dreaming of a more comfortable and inviting outdoor space? Adding extendable awnings to your Sydney home or business may be the solution! But with so many styles to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Let’s have a look at some of our top-selling awnings to get a better feel for which one you need.

 

1. Your Versatile Shade Companion 

 

Folding arm awnings are the most common type of retractable awnings for alfresco areas, patios, decks and balconies. They use an articulated arm system that extends and retracts, giving you control over how much sun you want at any given time. These awnings are incredibly versatile and come in a range of styles, including:

 

  • With the Cleo model, achieve an elegant, Italian-inspired open design for any space. Its geometric silhouette pairs easily with other versatile designs like loungers, enhancing the aesthetic.
  • For a modern, minimalist look, the Cubebox is a perfect choice. Its fully enclosed cassette protects the fabric and mechanism from the elements, ensuring a long lifespan.
  • The Aria awning offers the perfect blend of style and functionality. Its minimalist design is ideal for modern homes and provides excellent sun protection without sacrificing aesthetics. 
2. Enhanced Shade Control 

 

Pivot arm awnings, such as the Metro range, are often used as an alternative to outdoor blinds. They provide shade and privacy for balconies, patios, windows and doors. They can be adjusted to different angles to control the amount of sunlight and heat entering a space.

 

  • Metro M1 is a budget-friendly option for sheltered areas below balconies or under eaves.
  • The Metro M2, with its protective cassette, is a better choice if your awning will be exposed to the elements.

3. Permanent Shade Solutions 

 

While not technically “retractable”, fixed pivot arm awnings are worth mentioning as they offer a more permanent, continuous shade solution for carports, large windows, balconies, shopfronts, dining areas, or even walkways. 

 

Choosing the Right Awning

 

The best retractable awning for you depends on several factors, including:

  • The size and shape of your outdoor space
  • The amount of sun exposure your space receives
  • Your budget
  • Your preferred aesthetic
