FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What type of awnings are best for Kiama homes?
For Kiama homes, the best awnings are those that provide durable sun protection, wind resistance, and weatherproofing, especially considering the area’s coastal conditions. Top choices include:
Folding arm awnings: Ideal for patios, decks, and courtyards where flexible shade is needed without support poles.
Zipscreen awnings: Designed for outdoor enclosures, they offer privacy, UV protection, and wind resistance—perfect for Kiama’s breezy coastal climate.
Straight drop awnings: Great for windows and verandahs, offering vertical shade and light filtering.
Pivot arm awnings: Best suited for second-storey windows, allowing airflow while shading interiors.
The key to performance in Kiama’s climate is choosing UV-stabilised fabrics and rust-resistant aluminium frames to handle sun, salt air, and moisture.
Do awnings help reduce heat and glare inside the home?
Yes, awnings are one of the most effective ways to block solar heat before it enters the home. By shading windows, they help:
Lower indoor temperatures, reducing reliance on fans or air conditioning.
Cut glare, especially in living rooms and media rooms facing west.
Protect furniture and flooring from UV damage and fading.
In a coastal location like Kiama—where bright sun can stream in year-round—awnings are a smart investment for maintaining thermal comfort and light control throughout the home.
Are awnings suitable for wind and rain protection in Kiama?
Yes, many modern awnings are designed to handle moderate wind and light rain, making them suitable for Kiama’s coastal weather.
Zipscreen awnings offer excellent wind resistance thanks to their side channel design, which secures the fabric.
Folding arm awnings provide reliable sun and rain protection but should be retracted during storms or high winds.
Water-resistant fabrics like acrylic canvas or PVC-coated mesh help repel rain while maintaining airflow.
If you’re installing awnings in an exposed area, adding wind sensors or opting for motorised retractable systems will enhance safety and longevity.
