Window Awnings

Elevate your home's style and beat the heat with custom-made window awnings:

Does the scorching sun radiate into your home or business, making your indoor space unbearable? Are your energy bills skyrocketing due to the relentless heat coming through your windows, and the annoying glare giving you headaches?

It is not out of the question for Queenslanders to experience the power of the sun both when outdoors and, unfortunately, indoors. Unprotected windows let in an incredible amount of heat, turning your living spaces into ovens and forcing your air conditioning to work overtime.

This isn't just uncomfortable; the harmful UV rays can damage your furniture and flooring and cause premature fading and deterioration. Now, just imagine a cooler, more comfortable and inviting home, even on the hottest days. There is nothing quite as delightful as stepping into rooms filled with natural light and, cool atmosphere without the blinding glare. These are the practical reasons for installing window awnings, but window awnings can also transform your home's exterior, creating a classic charm and appeal.

At Moreton Bay Security Solutions, we offer premium window awnings designed specifically for Queensland homes. With a range of styles to choose from, you can be sure to find the perfect window awning to suit your needs, property and budget.

Styles of Window Awnings

When it comes to choosing window awnings, we offer a fantastic range of styles, each offering unique benefits such as aesthetics, sun control, and functionality. By considering these styles and factors, you can choose the perfect window awnings to enhance your home's comfort, efficiency, and appeal. From classic canvas to modern aluminium, we have window awnings that will perfectly match your needs. Popular window awnings include:

✔️ Fixed/Stationary Awnings

• Wedge Awning: Similar to the Dutch hood but with a more angular, triangular shape, with a clean, modern look while still providing effective sun protection
• Dutch Hood / Traditional Canopy: Known for their rounded or semi-circular shape, these add a classic, often European, charm to a home.
• Aluminium Window Hoods: Durable, lightweight, and low-maintenance, design styles are typically bull-nosed, straight edge, with colours to match Colorbond schemes, making them popular for both modern and heritage homes.
• Timber Canopies: Offer a natural, rustic, or heritage feel, and can be stained or painted to your liking. They are durable and a popular choice for classic Queenslanders or cottage-style homes.

✔️ Retractable Awnings:

• Wire Guide Awnings: Similar to straight drop but guided by thin stainless steel wires, offering a contemporary and minimalist aesthetic, particularly good for coastal properties where views are paramount.
• Folding Arm Awnings: Excellent for large windows, however, can be applied to smaller windows../li>
• Pivot or Drop Arm Awnings: These extend outwards at an angle from the window, creating a gap between the awning and the window. This allows for airflow even when the awning is extended, making them excellent for ventilation while still providing shade, perfect for bi-fold or outward-opening windows.
• Automatic Lock Arm Awnings: A traditional Australian design, these spring-loaded awnings have side guides and locking arms that allow them to be easily raised and lowered to various positions, locking into place, practical for ground-floor windows.

Benefits of Window Awnings

Have you ever walked past a home or business, noticed a window awning and not really given much thought as to why they are there? You're not alone; it's really not something that we consciously do. It would be safe to say that most people think window awnings are just for appearance, but this is simply not the case. Let's look at the benefits window awnings offer for both homes and commercial properties:

✔️ Superior Heat Reduction - Window awnings can block up to 90% of outside heat, dramatically cooling your interiors and reducing reliance on air conditioning.

✔️ Energy Savings - Window awnings reduce the amount of heat and sunlight that can potentially enter your home, therefore keeping your indoor temperature cooler. This reduces the need for overuse of your air conditioning and helps to lower energy bills, putting more money back in your pocket

✔️Sun & UV Protection - Living in Australia, the sun can be harsh and intense and installing window awnings is advisable. They protect your windows and also provide a shield for your valuable furnishings, flooring, and artwork from fading and damage caused by harmful UV rays.

✔️Weather Protection - Window awnings are designed using durable, high-quality materials that offer long-lasting protection from rain, wind and sun. Shield your windows and their frames from rain and sun, extending their lifespan.

✔️Increased Privacy - Window awnings, including retractable options, provide an added layer of privacy that we all deserve without sacrificing your view outside.

✔️Enhanced Curb Appeal - Window awnings are available in a wide range of colours and stylish designs to enhance the look of your home. A professionally installed and designed window awning can enhance the appearance of your home or business.

Key Considerations when Choosing Window Awnings

Consider the style you hope to achieve, for traditional or heritage, Dutch hood, classic fixed fabric window awning, or timber canopy are ideal choices and sure to complement your home or business. If you are looking for timeless appeal, you won't be disappointed. When aiming for a modern and contemporary look, straight drop, wire guide, channel guide, or minimalist aluminium louvre awnings blend seamlessly with most window styles and provide clean lines and contemporary designs. Aside from visual appeal, it's important to consider what direction your windows face so you can have control over the amount of sun exposure in your home. North/West-facing windows receive the most intense sun; therefore, look at window awning styles that offer maximum heat block and UV protection, such as fixed awnings, with dense fabric. If your windows are East-facing, opt for adjustable awnings to help manage morning sun
