Products we use Recommended

You might not have given awnings much thought until you stood in the rain trying to unlock your door, or baked in the sun at your new deck. For those situations, an awning should be perfect. Most commercial buildings boast fixed awnings at their entrances and other exterior spaces. These are generally made of metal or aluminum, making them more long-lasting than fabric. These awnings are costly as they can withstand storms and bear weight from water, fallen tree limbs or snow. They last for years with zero or little maintenance. Homeowners may also opt for retractable awnings for their diversity.

We only use or recommend top of the line Polycarboates that we know will last the test of time.  We source of products depending on your awning from companies like Alsynite one, Psp for example which we know have been designed for New Zealand UV and weather conditions.
