Patio Awnings
WHAT IS A PATIO AWNING?
The Patio Awning, also known as a Conservatory Awning, was designed in Europe to provide shade over glass roofs and conservatories. Due to the Australian climate, glass roofs are not so common, however, the Patio Awning's application has extended to cover decks, patios and balconies.
The Patio Awning is a sleek and modern motorised retractable awning that extends along guide rails. When retracted, the awning fabric is completely rolled up inside the head box, creating a neat, clean-lined structure over the area.
The awning can be mounted on existing structures or custom-designed pergola frames built by Aalta. Patio Awnings intercept the harsh rays of the sun before it hits glazing or areas below the frame, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without the intenstitiy of the heat or harmful UV rays.
The Patio awning is built of corrosion resistant materials, withstanding much of the harsh Australian climate. With a choice of the highest quality polyester mesh fabrics, or solution dyed acrylic fabric, you can be sure of maximum sun protection when the awning is extended.
