Benefits of awnings
At Curtains Direct, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Here’s a quick guide to the roller blind curtain options we offer:
Awnings Are Essential for Aussie Properties
Here at Curtains Direct & Blinds, we believe that every Australian home and business would benefit from the addition of high-quality awnings. As well as being a great aesthetic feature that increases the curb appeal (and value) of your home, awnings offer a range of other benefits.
Protect Your Belongings While Enjoying Natural Light
Ultraviolet rays from the sun fade your carpets, curtains and furniture, damage appliances, and can harm you even while inside your home. A retractable awning allows you to block out these rays without having to completely close off the window, so you can enjoy pleasant light without paying the UV price.
Automated Options
Motorised awnings are a modern, convenient choice that simplifies the process of opening and closing awnings. Once installed, these awnings can be operated remotely. Houseguests, tenants and customers alike will be impressed and appreciative.
Sensors for Automated Closing
Are you concerned that sudden bursts of high wind could cause damage to your fabric awning or the mechanical arms? Motorised folding-arm or retractable awnings with built-in sensors can detect such changes and fold away safely.
Stylish Shade for Modern Australian Homes
Awnings are not just practical; they add real style to your home. Our sleek designs fit perfectly with modern Australian architecture, creating a clean, coordinated look outside your house. From cosy patios to oversized balconies, our folding arm awnings blend seamlessly with any home exterior, enhancing your lifestyle and boosting your property’s curb appeal.
Built for Both Weather and Design
Australia’s weather can be harsh, but so are our awnings! Designed to block harsh sunlight, cut down glare, and protect you from unexpected rain or strong winds, they let you enjoy your outdoor areas more comfortably, all year round. Our fabrics are durable, UV resistant, and made for Aussie conditions.
Save on Cooling Costs Naturally
Did you know a simple awning can help you save on energy bills? By shading windows and reducing direct heat from the sun, awnings keep your indoor spaces naturally cooler. You’ll enjoy a fresher, more comfortable home and reduce the need to blast the air-con during those long summer months.
Perfect for Windows, Patios, or Balconies
Wherever you need shade, we’ve got you covered. Install a custom-made awning above windows to protect your rooms from harsh sunlight, over outdoor dining areas for a comfy entertainment space, or on upper-floor balconies for a relaxing retreat.
Choose the Style That Suits Your Space
Curtains Direct offers a wide variety of awnings to match your needs:
Folding Arm Awnings
These are perfect for patios and outdoor seating areas where you want full shade when needed and an open sky when you don’t. Our folding awnings roll back neatly when not in use.
Fixed Awnings
Great for windows and doorways that need permanent coverage.
Drop Blinds
Ideal for vertical protection against sun and wind on patios or balconies.
Manual or Motorised – Your Call
Choose between classic manual crank systems or upgrade to motorised control. With a motorised awning, you can extend or retract your shade at the push of a button, perfect for quick comfort. Control options include wall switches or easy-to-use remotes.
Weather Sensors for Smart Living
Want an even more innovative system? Add weather sensors! These clever devices automatically retract your awning during high winds or rain, protecting your investment without you lifting a finger.
Custom Sizes for Every Home
Every awning from Curtains Direct is made to measure. We custom-fit each awning based on the size, slope, and specific needs of your space. Whether you need a compact cover for a small window or wide folding arm awnings for a spacious patio, we ensure a perfect fit every time.
Fixed Awnings for Classic Coverage
If you are looking for a permanent solution, our fixed awnings are a fantastic choice. They offer year-round protection above entryways, windows, and even some patio areas. Strong, stylish, and practical, fixed awnings never go out of fashion.
