Aluminium or Canvas Awnings

Awnings help create shady areas in and around your home. Aluminium awnings outside windows can cut the harsh afternoon sun in summer whilst folding arm awnings can be opened to cover an outdoor area when you need shade. During the cooler winter months, you can leave the area open to the warm sun.

Fabric awnings add beauty and charm to the exterior of your home.

They allow people to enjoy outdoor activities, avoid excessive heat, sun exposure, and mild rains by controlling the shading and light exposure on your deck, window, patio, terrace, or balcony. The use of shading will also help protect your carpet, furniture, and drapes by blocking UV rays.

Because we measure, design and manufacture a range of awnings, we can meet your personal and commercial awning requirements. Whether it is just one awning or supply for a new development, call us today!

The Waterproof System

Rubber seals are made from high quality EPDM. Our Standard colour is Black. The rubber seal is used for both the H Section and the end U Capping. This requires a little moisture to allow the rubber to slip on to there sheet more freely.

The aluminum section or “H Bar” measures 50mm wide and 16mm high. All Screws are placed into the specially designed single groves on top of the section. It is specially designed with single grooves on the top of the section. All screws are placed into the groove. When penetrated the screws will not touch the sheet yet still allows a gap large enough so the sheet can expand and contract through the section. This is known as the rabbet depth. To allow the bar to be bent & curved it is made from a soft alloy.

The sheets are open fluted and therefore need to be covered for this we use two types of tape. On the gravity end (i.e. the end of which the water runs to). We only use a butyl tape (Tar Tape) that has a protective silver tape on top of the sticky tar to prevent it from sticking to each other. While at the other end to prevent dust penetrating we use an aluminum silver tape. The U Channel simply caps off the end of the open sheet and then it is pop riveted onto the H Bar.

All aluminum extrusions are available in Pearl White, Bronze, Primrose and Satin Black. Special colours are available on request. Carbolite comes in 8mm and 10mm thicknesses

Retractable fabric shade awnings

You probably enjoy life on your patio a lot and tend to spend a lot of your free time on it, but unless you have some sort of a roof above you are not fully taking advantage of the pleasure your patio has to offer.

No matter whether we are talking about summer heat, winter snow or spring and fall rain, these are all weather conditions that come handy sometimes, but will surely bother you from time to time. Especially if you just want to enjoy your patio and the rain is pouring down on you or the hot sun is burning you. This is where a porch awning will do wonders for the way you will feel even when the conditions are not exactly the way you would like them to be.

A patio awning has a couple of functions.

The most important one is the one that saves you from the trouble mentioned above – it provides shelter for you and for your patio furniture. You feel comfortable under it and so does your furniture that does not get damaged by the changing weather conditions. But this is not the only positive function of your patio awning.

Considering these days’ porch awnings and patio awnings come in all sorts of shapes, colours and designs, your awning also becomes a decorating addition to your patio. There is no sense in having a regular white awning if you would prefer a livelier colourful one that will suit best to you orange coloured house for instance. And in most cases these colourful awnings do not cost much more than the basic white ones.

I believe these are two great reasons for you to get a patio awning and make the most out of your patio.
