About Awnings products

At ArchiPro, you can find state-of-the-art shelter and shade systems from the most reliable suppliers in the Australia. They are a convenient solution for every outdoor and landscaping project, protecting against the weather and UV rays and providing a level of privacy from your neighbours. While fixed awnings are permanent structures, retractable awnings can roll back when not in use. These come in manual and automatic types for convenience. Window awnings and door awnings extend specifically over windows and doors, respectively, to provide shade and keep the home cool during summer.

Awnings are the outdoor shelters commonly seen extending into back gardens. Available in a range of sizes, styles, and materials, the main purpose of an awning is to protect an area from rain, wind and snow, allowing you to use your outdoor space more often. ArchiPro offers an extensive range of automatic and manual retractable awnings from the most reputable suppliers in Australia.

Window awning

In Australia, these commonly come as a fabric roller shade or roller blinds that retracts and extends from two vertical arms at the top of a window.

Door awning

These prevent outside debris from blowing into the home and reduce the home’s energy consumption by keeping indoor temperatures cooler.

The advantages of high-quality awnings

The highest quality awnings are a cost-effective roof system for any home, working to optimise your patios, gardens, and decks. Valuable in both summer and winter for a variety of weather conditions in Australia, they can block out the sun, saving you from pesky sunburns, retaining heat during the colder months. It’s the perfect companion for an outdoor living area or spa pool. Retractable awnings are a versatile option that has improved longevity since they can be rolled up when not in use.

How to choose awnings that are right for you

The type of awning you install will impact the curb appeal of your home, so take into consideration its design. Common styles include crescents, domes, and slopes, while others are more ornamental. No matter the aesthetic appeal, you should ensure to choose the right choice for the space. For example, if your patio is exposed to intense sunshine, opt for a patio awning. If you prefer to spend some time in the sun, a retractable awning will give you the best of both worlds.

How much space does an awning take up?

The size of your awning will depend on the size of your patio or garden, but in general, they are 2.5 by 3 metres. For decks, they usually require between 20 and 30 centimetres of space for mounting. This is relative to its type, for example, door awnings are much smaller than patio awnings.

Do I have to fully extend my awning when I use it?

You don’t have to extend it out fully to use it. Most manufacturers provide a minimal extension point that’s necessary to ensure the coverage is stable. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the structure. For the most part, you can adjust retractable awnings to suit your specific needs.

Do awnings extend at a particular angle?

Awnings should rest at a 30 to 50 degree angle, depending on the anticipated snow or wind load. This will depend on its placement. Those attached to roofs generally have steeper slopes, equating to around 8 centimetres of drop for every foot of extension. This allows for enough overhead room while reinforcing stability.
