FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What type of awning is best for tropical climates like Tully?
In humid and high-UV areas like Tully, the best awnings are typically made from durable, mildew-resistant fabrics like acrylic or mesh, paired with rust-resistant hardware such as aluminium or powder-coated steel. Retractable or straight-drop styles work well for airflow while still offering protection. Look for materials that offer UV blocking, wind tolerance and easy maintenance in a wet climate.
How long do outdoor awnings typically last?
The lifespan of an outdoor awning depends on the material and exposure to weather, but with proper care, they can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Acrylic fabrics and powder-coated metal frames tend to have longer durability. Regular cleaning and retracting awnings during extreme weather can help extend their service life significantly, especially in tropical regions.
Are awnings worth it for energy savings?
Yes, awnings can greatly reduce indoor heat gain by shading windows and doors from direct sunlight. This means your cooling system doesn’t have to work as hard, resulting in lower energy bills. In tropical climates, they’re especially useful in managing interior temperatures during the hotter months, making them both a comfort and cost-effective investment for many homeowners.
Simple & Streamlined
Straight Drop – Spring Operated/Crank Handle
Straight drop awnings offer a clean, modern look and work well for patios, balconies, or external windows where side channels aren’t required. The spring-operated option provides quick manual use with minimal effort, great for everyday shading.
For more controlled adjustment, crank handle systems allow for easy raising and lowering without needing to touch the fabric. Both styles are well-suited to breezy conditions and provide UV protection, privacy, and airflow.
Secure & Versatile
Zip Screen – Manual/Motorised
Zip screen awnings are ideal for outdoor areas that need both protection and weather resilience. The fabric is guided along side channels with a secure zip system, reducing movement and blocking out wind, insects, and harsh sun.
Choose manual operation for straightforward control, or go motorised for the convenience of remote access. Either option delivers sleek lines and reliable performance, perfect for alfresco spaces or enclosing patios.
Classic & Functional
Auto Awnings
Auto awnings remain a popular choice for ground-floor windows and verandahs. Their self-locking arms allow the fabric to move with the sun’s angle while maintaining airflow and visibility. When not needed, they can be rolled away neatly.
Known for their durability and fuss-free use, auto awnings are a practical solution for homes that need year-round protection from sun and rain without sacrificing style or ventilation.
