Australian Summers are Best Enjoyed with an Awning
With summer just around the corner, it is a great time to think about adding an awning to the exterior of your home for a fully enhanced seasonal experience.
Verandahs, courtyards, pool areas, external kitchens, BBQ areas, patios, sundecks and even your front door and external facing windows, can all benefit from one type of awning or another.
Live Outdoors this Summer
Awnings extend the living space of your home by effectively making your outdoor areas a comfortable part of your entertaining area. That can be enclosing an external kitchen or veranda with a drop style awning, such as the revolutionary Luxaflex Evo Magnatrack awnings. It is the most technologically advanced straight drop outdoor blind on the market.
It harnesses the power of Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets within the side channels to hold the fabric in place providing a smooth flat finish with unparalleled strength allowing it to be left down in windy conditions.
Providing “walls” that are easily opened and closed with motorised automation means you can enjoy the outdoors and stay protected from the wind, rain, sun, and pesky summer insect life. Sunscreen fabrics mean you can still see out but provide privacy from the other direction – keep an eye on the kids in the pool while keeping the UV rays and neighbours at bay.
Folding arm awnings provide expansive coverage from the edge of your home over an external space such as a courtyard or even a swimming pool. Incredibly durable, these awnings can be lifesavers during the hottest parts of the day when outdoor living is impossible without some shade. Packing discreetly into a semi-cassette when they are not in use means you have the versatility to use your space as you want to.
Perfect Pergola Solution
Louvred roofing and external aluminium shutters are a stylish and easy solution that brings somewhat of a Hamptons feel to your home. Perfect for pergolas, louvred roofing can automatically adjust to the weather conditions to ensure your outdoor furnishings stay protected during storms and the hottest part of the day. Open them up for access to the sky and fresh air. External aluminium shutters are a particularly great solution for external kitchens and BBQ areas where you may want to get some air flow, while maintaining privacy and light control.
Save your Furnishings and Energy
Protecting your home from harmful UV rays that not only heat up your home but can cause bleaching and fabric deterioration of your carpets, curtains, and furniture. Canopy awnings are a stylish solution for the front door and windows. They can be made in an array of durable exterior fabrics that elevate the look of your home, while keeping the interior cooler and shaded. Save on cooling costs with a sustainable awning solution that is chic to boot. Contemporary fresh looks that add value to your home in such an easy way.
