Retractable & Folding
Arm Awnings
RETRACTABLE & FOLDING ARM AWNINGS GOLD COAST
The outdoor areas of your property are ideal for enjoying fresh air and sunlight. But sometimes the Queensland climate can become too intense, causing too much heat and glare. Now you can solve these problems, thanks to retractable and folding arm awnings from Scorpio Screens & Blinds!
We have been manufacturing and installing retractable and Folding Arm Awnings for Gold Coast homes and businesses for 40 years, so we understand the exact solutions you need. Our awnings are designed to meet the demands of the Queensland climate, offering you protection from the harmful UV rays of the sun, keeping your property cool and comfortable, and ensuring you can get maximum use from your outdoor space all year round.
Great for Large Outdoor Spaces
Retractable Awnings can adjust to your needs
Retractable and folding arm awnings are ideal for a wide variety of properties. They are particularly suitable for large outdoor spaces, as they can cover areas up to 7 metres wide. This makes them the perfect choice for patios, terraces and commercial al fresco dining experiences.
We manufacture two different styles of retractable and Folding Arm Awnings to suit your needs:
- Semi cassette – These clever awnings can be mounted under the eaves of your property or on the ceiling. The fabric rolls up neatly when the awning is not in use, providing an unobtrusive appearance. This neat mechanism also ensures your awning is protected from weather-related conditions such as damp and mould, making sure that your awning will last as long as possible.
- Full cassette – Full cassette awnings are ideal for large outdoor areas such as pool sides and terraces, as well as commercial applications. The innovative design enables you to choose the amount of shade your property receives at any time, so you can always provide an appropriate solution for the weather conditions. When not in use, the awning fabric is enclosed completely in the cassette, giving it full protection from the weather. The cassette is discreetly mounted on the wall, providing a streamlined, barely noticeable appearance.
Both styles of awning are also easy to customise. They are made from a durable, lightweight fabric which is available in a wide range of colours. You can choose to coordinate with your property or provide a colourful contrast, stamping your individuality onto the outdoor areas of your home.
Easy to Operate Awnings
Motorised or Manual Operation
If you are a business owner, we can provide retractable and Folding Arm Awnings in your company colours, helping you to create a totally professional image and ensuring your business branding stays in the minds of your customers.
We offer a choice of two different operation methods for our awnings. If you want a more traditional solution, you can choose crank handle operation. This is extremely easy and quiet, enabling you to react quickly to changing weather conditions.
However, for a truly smart, future-proof solution, you can choose to have your awnings motorised. This means they can be operated at the touch of a single button. They’re also compatible with smart home software, enabling you to operate your awnings from your smartphone or tablet. If the weather changes when you’re not there, you can still operate your awnings to protect your property.
You also have the option of including sun and wind sensors, so your awnings will react automatically to the weather conditions.
