Awnings are an excellent addition and add value to the exterior windows of your home; they can protect your property from the South Australian climate, especially the harsh sun which can cause glare into a room. Awnings do come in a number of different fabric weaves and colours and are made from heavy duty canvas; they can be spring operated but are also available as motorised – which can make operating the blind effortlessly.

Cellular Shades, also known as Honeycomb Shades, are window coverings made from pleated fabric that forms honeycomb-shaped cellular compartments. These compartments are available in single, double and triple layers.

A huge benefit of these types of shades is that they can save you money on your energy bills – the more layers there are, the more insulation is provided resulting in greater energy efficiency to your home or property. Another advantage of these shades is that they can be lowered or raised in either direction (from the bottom up or the top down), in this way they provide the user privacy as needed – yet not restricting light to softly filter into the room.

Excellent protection from the outdoor elements of winds, rain and sun-rays is ensured which is provided by the seal created around the sides of the blind. Ziptraks are spring operated and can also be motorised. They are available in weatherproof (clear or tinted PVC) and sunscreen fabrics.
