Cable Guide Alfresco Awning

An industrial look that offers privacy and excellent sun protection and ventilation. A good option for when channels are not suitable. The cables are high tensile 2.5mm 316 grade marine stainless steel, making them perfect for coastal applications.

Side Retention System

If you live in a particularly windy area then these are ideal. They completely enclose an outside area, with no gaps for dust and dirt to enter. Best for sun protection, insect resistance, or enclosing a balcony for privacy, light and heat control. The fabric is tensioned by utilising a floating channel, located within the special two piece side channel, which eliminates the possibility of fabric ‘blow outs’ or light gaps.

Straight Drop Alfresco Awning

A sleek and simple design with a contemporary look similar to a Blind. A Straight Drop Alfresco Awning does not protrude and is therefore ideal for areas with limited space or for the sides of decks, verandas or patios. It can be operated with a spring, manual crank or automated and uses no channels making it ideal for sun/UV protection, airflow or where channels are not possible. It is the perfect Awning to select if posts, pillars or walls are not available for the installation of the channels. This Awning is simply locked into position using straps/saddles to secure it in place.

Flexibility is key, so our motors are developed with several settings which can be engaged or turned off at any time.

Attention to detail and symmetry are a big deal!

Zipscreen Awnings

“dollar curtains + blinds have done it again! We've seen a noticeable drop in our cooling bills since getting our Alfresco Awnings this summer. They're also fantastic for blocking out the wind. We love the fabric we chose, though it was tough with so many great options in-store.”
