Awnings and your balcony

There is nothing better in Sydney’s colder months than warming yourself by the window or on your balcony in the winter sun. But as warmer months approach, the sun starts to get a little stronger, and the direct sunlight starts to burn. Sunlight shining through your window, heating your balcony, home and furniture get uncomfortable and in many cases, can be damaging.

If you want sun in the winter and shade in the summer, an outdoor retractable awning is perfect for your window or balcony. Keep reading to learn about your options when it comes to outdoor retractable awnings.

Different types of outdoor retractable awnings for your balcony

Your balcony or window might need specific sizing and functionalities when it comes to installing an awning. What works for your neighbour might not work for you.  Awnings are designed to maximise outdoor spaces, which make them perfect for commercial or residential use.

Folding arm awnings are almost like adding an extra room to your home without the expensive construction costs. Folding arm awnings fully utilise all aspects of your outdoor areas. This option is perfect for balconies, verandas, restaurants or backyards.

The Eureka Belt is a perfect high tech balcony cover for your outdoor area. Using high-grade materials, your shade protection will never disappoint. This outdoor retractable awning can be installed with ease by professionals and is recommended for any outdoor area or balcony.

Folding Arm awning for your balcony

Folding arm fabric awnings are a stylish solution to your shade problem. The folding arm awning extends horizontally, effectively creating a cover for your patio. The awning folds away into a discreet cassette to give you an open alfresco area to enjoy the sun. In the warmer months, the awning can be extended via manual or motorised control, to give you as much shade over your area as you require.

The awning is cantilevered off the wall of your existing structure, so it doesn’t need extra posts or supports. Most models have pitch control to give you the right balance of shade and view.

Some models also have a range of rain and wind sensors available as well. This is a smart solution to make sure the awning is protected in strong wind conditions or if you forget to retract it before a storm.

Eureka Belt for your balcony

The eureka belt is perfect for providing shade over a glass roof or even for large areas of shade over a patio or pergola. It is electronically operated with optional remote or automatic control so you can open or close the awning quickly and without hassle.

The side guides can be altered to allow the Eureka belt system to cover vertical faces as well as the sloping sections. The side guides can be curved to follow barrel-vaulted roofs or to provide horizontal and vertical shade over an area with one awning.
