Saving money is easy with our Prestige awnings!

Did you know that the best way to keep your house cool is to keep the sun off your windows? Once the sun hits the windows, internal window furnishings can help to reduce heat in your room, however a far more effective approach is to install an awning to the outside of that window.

Aluminium awnings give up to 95% heat deflection and canvas awnings around 75% – 85% heat deflection.

Imagine how much cooler your home would be with an awning and imagine how much less you would need to use your air-conditioning over summer! Reducing your energy costs has never been so important. Our canvas fabrics are also water repellent so you can keep your undercover area drier too.

Did you also know that well placed awnings can also reduce heat loss from inside your home over winter, or retract back to give you the sunlight back when you need it.

We love helping our customers with solutions to their sun and heat issues in their home.
