Fixed Guide - manual or motorized

A spring loaded cord operated blind excellent for upstairs windows, or over glassed roof & pergola.

The choice of galvanised, powder coated or s/steel rods or cable guides available. Comes with standard Colorbond headbox hooding in various fabric types from traditional and acrylic canvas to woven PVC coated mesh.

Optionally operated from the outside with cord and pulleys, or conveniently motorised. For ground floor applications the blind can be operated by a crank handle with addition of a gear box.

Motorisation further allows individual or group control over a number of windows simultaneously, timer function and climate sensor. Awnings fitted with an electric motor are as easy and comfortable to use as a touch of a button.

We use the well known Becker motors and components. Special Sun & Wind sensors provide continuous protection as the awning automatically extends in sun and retracts in high wind. This has several benefits such as maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature, even when no one is around, helping with reducing the cooling costs, and for security reasons ... the building appears occupied at all times!

Wired and wireless options available.

Drop Arm & Garden Window - manual or motorized

Lifestyle Drop Arm Awnings are the perfect solution for upstairs windows and doorways, designed to withstand high winds and adverse weather. They are basically fitted externally around a window frame and consist of a retractable blind made from canvas or mesh fabric and attached to a frame with arms that pivot halve way down the window, attached to the external wall.

Highly versatile and suitable for windows that face any direction. When the awning is partially extended, it provides protection from overhead sun (north facing windows) whilst still retaining a view to the outside. When the awning is fully extended it covers the entire window and provides protection from the sun at low angles (east or west). The lengths of the arms are approximately half the drop of the awning.

The Double Drop Arm is an option that has two pairs of drop arms and are the ideal solution for a garden type window.
