Aluminium awnings offer practical solutions. They are well-suited for the Gold Coast climate. They extend your living space. Awnings add value without fuss.
Why does aluminium work best?
- Aluminium is corrosion-resistant. The salt air causes rust in materials. Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion. It doesn’t flake or weaken, making it ideal for a cold coast.
- Storms bring strong winds. Aluminium panels stay anchored. They handle winds over 40 kilometres per hour. Some are designed to withstand 130 kilometres per hour gusts.
- Scorching summer demands cool shades. Aluminium blocks 70% of solar heat gain. Your indoor space remains cool.
- Aluminium awnings have a long life and are pretty much low-maintenance. Forget about constant preparing and treatments. The awnings need only occasional rinsing. They don’t rust, and neither do they rot. They last more than three decades with minimal care.
- Aluminium awnings conserve energy. You can reduce air conditioning. Use the window awnings to reduce indoor heat by 8°C. It lowers the energy bills by 25%.
- Awnings provide tough protection. Whether it is hail, debris or downpour, it damages glass and walls. The panels take the impact if damaged. One panel is replaced without removing the entire awning.
Types of awnings for your home
