Auto Awnings


Auto awnings are a popular choice for windows exposed to direct sunlight. Designed with pivoting arms, they allow for easy height adjustment and can be retracted when not needed. These awnings help reduce indoor heat, protect furnishings from UV rays, and offer a classic look that suits many home exteriors. Ideal for ground-floor windows, auto awnings combine function and style while enhancing energy efficiency and providing a cooler, more comfortable living environment.

Straight Drop Awnings


Straight drop awnings offer sleek, vertical protection from sun, wind and prying eyes. Fixed directly above windows or outdoor areas, they extend straight down and secure at the bottom using straps or brackets. These awnings are perfect for patios, verandas or balconies where space is limited. With various fabric and colour options available, they blend seamlessly with any exterior. They’re an ideal solution for improving privacy and comfort in both residential and commercial spaces.

Fitted with side-tracking technology, the fabric is locked into vertical channels, preventing flapping and offering excellent protection from wind, rain and insects. These blinds are easy to operate manually or via motorisation, making them a premium choice for year-round comfort. Ziptrak blinds are ideal for creating enclosed outdoor rooms without compromising views or natural airflow.

    Cooling Benefits (Summer)


    Reduce solar heat gain: Awnings block direct sunlight from hitting windows, which significantly reduces indoor temperatures and cooling costs.

    Lower AC demand: By shading south- and west-facing windows, they can reduce air conditioning energy use by up to 25% to 50% depending on climate and awning type.

    Improve comfort: They prevent glare and keep interior spaces cooler and more comfortable during hot months.


    Heating Considerations (Winter)


    Potential drawback: In winter, awnings may block beneficial solar heat that could help warm your home.

    Solution: Use retractable or removable awnings. These can be retracted in the winter to allow sunlight in, helping with passive solar heating.
