What are Zipscreen and Ziptrak awnings?

Zipscreen and Ziptrak awnings are two of the most popular types of awnings. Zipscreen awnings have a zip that runs along the edge of the fabric, which can be used to seal the awning and keep out insects. Ziptrak awnings have a tracking system that allows the fabric to be sealed at the top and bottom, creating a complete barrier against insects.

What's the difference between a retractable and motorised awning?

A retractable awning can be manually opened and closed, while a motorised awning is operated by a remote control. Motorised awnings are becoming increasingly popular as they're really easy to use.

How do I choose the right awning for my space?

When choosing an awning, it's important to consider the size of the area you want to cover and the amount of sun and wind exposure it gets. For instance, if you want to create an outdoor entertaining area that can be fully enclosed, a Zipscreen or Ziptrak awning would be a good option. If you're looking for an awning that can be easily retracted when not in use, a retractable or motorised awning would be a good choice. Alternatively, if you're looking for a way to keep your home cool in summer, you might want to choose a blockout awning.

What Are Awnings?

Awnings are attached to the exterior of buildings to provide shade and protection from the sun, rain and other weather elements. They’re often used to cover windows, doors, patios and other outdoor spaces. Awnings can be retractable or fixed and come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colours. They serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose, adding style and comfort to outdoor spaces while reducing energy costs by shading windows and doors from direct sunlight.
