Awnings
Awnings are both an effective way of conserving energy by shading windows and doors from heat generated from the suns UV rays, while meeting council BASIX requirements. Awnings can also be used to extend your outdoor living space. At Shaderite we have an extensive range of awnings to suit each individual requirement and budget including Aluminium Louvre, Clear PVC, Canopy, Drop Arm, Folding Arm, Polycarbonate and Straight Drop awnings.
All retractable type awnings can be motorised with either a switch or remote operation. Motorised awnings are available with timers or sun and wind sensors to operate independently and ensure against extreme weather conditions. They can also be linked to any building management system if required.
Straight Drop Awnings
Used in both commercial and residential projects to enclose any outdoor area from the harsh Australian weather, these awnings are secured in place with stainless steel fixings. They can also be operated on aluminium powder coated tracks or stainless steel cable guides so you can adjust the height position as required. With a variety of fabrics including heavy duty Clear PVC, Canvas, Shade Mesh and solid acrylic to choose from, Straight Drop Awnings are an excellent solution to keep the sun off windows and outdoor areas. They are also the perfect solution to create an outdoor room by keeping the wind and rain off decks and balconies, and can also be used for privacy screens. They are a perfect solution for restaurants to enclose an outdoor seating area while protecting customers from the harsh elements when required.
Straight Drop Awnings are available using a range of mechanisms from rope and pulley, gearbox operated to the full cassette with side guides or cables and can be motorised for ease of use. Motorised awnings are available with timers or sun and wind sensors to operate independently and ensure against extreme weather conditions. They can also be linked to any building management system if required.
Polycarbonate Awnings
Polycarbonate Awnings are a cost effective alternative to glass. They are supplied with a powder coated aluminium frame incorporating 8mm twin-wall polycarbonate sheets that offer year round protection from the elements. They are substantially lighter and stronger than glass awnings, are low maintenance, UV resistant and offer a high degree of transparency. Suitable for covering doors and windows, they are made to measure and come in a range of styles including Flat, Bullnose, Pitched, Dome, Gable, and Cantilevered. They are also available as a fully framed pergola with posts.
Pergola Awnings & Conservatory Awnings
The Pergola Awning is a useful addition to any existing pergola or conservatory window to provide protection against the suns harmful UV rays. Available in a range of fabrics and options from manually operated to fully motorised track and tension systems. Pergolas can also be covered with solid polycarbonate sheeting for a permanent cover that is waterproof, offers UV protection and is transparent enough to allow ample light to filter through.
Canopy Awnings
Canopy Awnings come in various styles such as Boulevard, Cupola, Eclipse, Dutch Hood, Wedge and Custom shapes. They are ideal for use over doorways or entrances. The aluminium frame allows the awnings to be shaped to suit the most applications. They are available in a choice of materials including Canvas, Acrylic or PVC coated polyester.
Folding Arm Awnings
The Folding Arm Awning is a compact solution to add shade and weather protection to most outdoor living spaces. Having a retractable cover, the folding arm awning is ideal for patios, decks and balconies where a permanent structure is not desired. They are often useful in commercial applications particularly restaurants where extending useable space is required. Folding Arm Awnings are cantilevered from a building structure eradicating the need for posts that could potentially restrict the area. Unlike most awnings, the arms fold in hortizontally allowing them to be completely retracted.
This type of awnings can be manually operated using a crank handle and gearbox or can be motorised for ease of use. Motorised awnings are available with timers or sun and wind sensors to operate independently and ensure against extreme weather conditions. They can also be linked to any building management system if required.
Clear PVC Awnings
Clear PVC awnings provide an aesthetic solution to extend your living area all year round allowing the view in but keeping the rain and wind out. The heavy duty PVC comes clear or tinted, can be rolled up or down quickly using a variety of methods including: traditional rope and pulley system, crank operated gearbox system or full motorisation.
Drop Arm Awnings (Pivot Arm Awning)
Designed for shading windows, they are available in a range of styles to suit most applications and varying budgets, these awnings allow you to control the level of shade required throughout the day while still allowing air flow to open windows. They range from the basic rope/pulley operating system through to full motorisation.
Motorised awnings are available with timers or sun and wind sensors to operate independently and ensure against extreme weather conditions. They can also be linked to any building management system if required.
