Frequently Asked Questions

  • What type of awnings are best for patios?

    Retractable awnings are a popular choice for patios because they let you control sun and shade with ease. You can extend them when you need shelter or wind them back to enjoy the sun.


    Folding arm awnings are ideal for large open spaces and can be motorised for convenience. If you prefer something more permanent, a fixed-frame awning offers all-day coverage and reliable protection from UV rays and rain.

  • Do awnings help reduce heat inside the home?

    Yes—awnings are excellent for reducing indoor heat. By shading windows and doors from direct sunlight, they stop heat from entering your home in the first place.


    This passive cooling effect can significantly lower the temperature of rooms facing harsh afternoon sun, reducing the need for air conditioning.


    In the long run, that can mean lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment.

  • How long do outdoor awnings last?

    With proper care, quality outdoor awnings can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. The longevity depends on the material, build quality and exposure to the elements.


    Coastal properties may experience faster wear due to salt and moisture, but choosing corrosion-resistant frames and UV-stabilised fabrics helps maximise lifespan.


    Cleaning the awning occasionally and retracting it during storms also extends its durability.

  • Are awnings waterproof or just water-resistant?

    Most awning fabrics are water-resistant, meaning they can handle light rain, but may not be completely waterproof during heavy downpours. For better water protection, look for acrylic-coated or PVC-backed fabrics.


    These materials provide a higher level of resistance, keeping the area underneath dry longer. However, always check the product specs—some awnings are designed for shade more than full rain coverage.
