WHY PIVOT ARM AWNINGS

The Smarter Choice for Windows and Walls

Pivot arm awnings are fixed at an angle directly to the wall or window frame, making them perfect for spots where a folding arm awning can’t reach. They provide shade and weather protection without taking up space.

They’re a popular choice for bedroom and living room windows in Sydney homes. The fixed angle deflects direct sunlight while still letting air flow through, keeping rooms cooler without needing to close up the house.

Low maintenance, easy to operate and built to last in the Australian climate. We carry a wide range of fabrics and colours so they can be matched to any home exterior.

Performance & Flexibility

AIRFLOW & VENTILATION
The projected design holds the fabric away from the window, allowing air to circulate while providing external shade. Windows can remain open while the awning is extended.
SPRING-LOADED ARM SYSTEM
Heavy-duty pivot arms maintain tension across the fabric for a clean, stable finish, making the system particularly well suited to larger windows.
SUN & HEAT CONTROL
By shading the glass externally, pivot arm awnings help reduce direct sun, heat and glare before it enters the interior.
MANUAL OR MOTORISED
Choose from manual operation or motorisation for convenient control, particularly useful for upper-storey and hard-to-reach windows.
MADE TO MEASURE
Custom manufactured to suit your windows and façade, with a wide selection of exterior fabrics, colours and finishes.
