Straight Drop Awning
The Straight Drop Awning is a traditional awning style that uses no guides making it ideal for
sun/UV protection, air flow and where channels are not suitable.
Cable Guide Awning
The Cable Guide Awning is a great contemporary straight drop option for sun/UV protection,
air flow and where channels are not suitable. The cables are high tensile 2.5mm 316 grade
marine stainless steel, making them perfect for coastal applications.
Deep Channel Awning
The Deep Channel Awning is a great straight drop option for sun/UV protection, windy
applications, plus privacy and block out situations. This option allows up to 30mm of fabric
within the channel, therefore eliminating light gaps and reducing the potential for fabric “blow
outs” in windy conditions. This is a cost effective alternative to the Alpha Side Retention
System Awning and is capable of accommodating installations that are out of square.
Pivot Arm Awning
The Pivot Arm Awning projects the fabric off the window, with the arms and fabric forming an
arc that allows air to flow behind the awning. This allows windows to be open whilst the
awning is projected. This system is a heavy duty contemporary design ideal for larger
windows.
Side Retention System Awning
The Alpha Side Retention System Awning is a premium, versatile straight drop option ideal
for sun/UV protection, insect resistance, windy applications, enclosing a balcony plus creating
privacy, light and heat control. The fabric is tensioned by utilising a floating channel, located
within the special two piece side channel, eliminating the possibility of fabric “blow outs” or
light gaps. As the fabric is held taut between the left and right channels, this system is ideal
for enclosing courtyards, patios or balconies, essentially adding an extra room to the home.
