Awnings
Our awnings provide adaptable outdoor shading solutions for commercial and residential properties. Constructed from durable aluminium frames with weather-resistant fabric, these systems offer manual or motorised operation. Ideal for extending usable outdoor space while protecting against sun and rain, our awnings feature customisable dimensions up to 12 metres wide with projection capabilities reaching 4 metres. Available in folding-arm, terrace, and freestanding configurations.
Retractable Roofs
These modular roofing systems create all-weather outdoor spaces with automated opening mechanisms. Featuring insulated aluminium profiles and UV-resistant fabric, they incorporate optional lighting and heating for year-round use. Commercial installations include integrated drainage systems, while residential versions offer rotating louvres for precise climate control. Available in fixed or bioclimatic designs with 5-year fabric warranties.
Container Canopies
Specifically designed for shipping container applications, these canopies extend usable space around container-based businesses. Engineered to withstand 28km/h winds, they feature heavy-duty mounting systems and brand-customisable fabric options. Available in wall-mounted, roof-mounted, and freestanding variants with projection capabilities up to 4 metres, these solutions transform containers into permanent outdoor venues.
Canopies
Architectural canopies provide weather protection for entrances and pedestrian pathways. Constructed with wind-resistant aluminium frameworks and available in fixed or retractable configurations. These structures enhance building aesthetics while offering practical protection, with optional LED lighting and heating elements for improved functionality in commercial environments.
Pergolas
Custom-built pergolas create defined outdoor living and commercial spaces with adjustable shading features. Available in bioclimatic or fabric-covered designs, they incorporate rotating louvres for precise light control. Commercial versions include glass side panels for enclosure options, while residential models integrate seamlessly with garden landscapes using coordinated fabric and colour schemes.
