We know how much the hot sun can stream into your home and leave your living spaces stuffy, too bright, and downright uncomfortable. The best way to beat the heat this summer is to stop the hot sun well before it can enter your home. How? With an outdoor awning, of course.
With so many different options the choices can become overwhelming. So, we’re cutting out all the confusion! Discover the different types of outdoor fabrics available for traditional and folding arm awnings.
Take in the view without worrying about harsh sun, wind, or rain. Our mesh materials let you enjoy the fresh air and make the most of your outdoor space, comfortably shielding your home from the elements and pesky insects. Just remember, mesh requires regular cleaning and maintenance to keep it looking great and working best.
Paired with a side retention system (SRS), this awning becomes a smart, stylish solution for outdoor living. The SRS keeps the fabric securely in place within the tracks, preventing flapping in the wind and enhancing durability while maintaining a sleek look that suits any outdoor setting.
Canvas was the first fabric ever used for awnings, and it’s still a top choice today for good reason. It’s the best fabric to minimise direct heat from the sun, and it's made from natural fibres. Canvas awnings also reduce glare and light thanks to their thickness and blockout design, keeping your room dark and cool.
They are highly durable and provide superior window protection and room temperature control, making them the ideal choice for traditional homes.
Acrylic is the lightest fabric in our range. This fabric has a softer texture than canvas, with a similar look, and provides your home with superior heat and moisture protection. Being resistant to water, mildew and mold, acrylic is the practical and durable choice.
Acrylic allows some light to filter through, but unlike mesh, it isn’t see-through, so you get some brightness and privacy. It also provides great sun protection, helping to block harmful UV rays while keeping your space comfortable.
