FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of awnings are best for homes in the Southern Highlands?
The best awnings for homes in the Southern Highlands are those that provide protection from sun, wind, and rain, while offering thermal insulation in cooler seasons. Recommended types include:
Folding arm awnings: Ideal for decks and patios, offering adjustable overhead shade that can be retracted when not in use.
Zipscreen awnings: Great for enclosing outdoor spaces, providing wind protection and privacy without fully sealing the area.
Pivot arm awnings: Designed for outward-opening windows, allowing ventilation even when the awning is extended.
Straight drop awnings: A sleek option for window coverage that helps control sunlight and maintains privacy.
Given the Southern Highlands’ cooler temperatures and variable weather, UV-resistant, waterproof, and mildew-resistant fabrics are highly recommended.
Do awnings help insulate homes in cooler climates like the Southern Highlands?
Yes, awnings are very effective at improving thermal insulation, even in cooler climates like the Southern Highlands. In winter, external awnings help:
Trap heat inside by reducing cold air from touching the glass.
Prevent drafts that contribute to indoor chill.
Lower heating costs by keeping the interior warmer longer.
During summer, they act as a barrier against direct sun, reducing the amount of heat that enters your home and protecting furnishings from UV damage.
Can awnings withstand strong winds and changing weather in the Southern Highlands?
Many modern awnings are designed to handle moderate wind and sudden weather changes, common in the Southern Highlands. For added strength:
Zipscreen awnings use tensioned side tracks that resist wind and remain stable in breezy conditions.
Folding arm awnings should be retracted during storms or heavy winds but are reliable in calm to moderate weather.
Pivot arm and straight drop models offer good wind resistance, especially when installed with sturdy fittings and side retention systems.
For enhanced safety, consider motorised awnings with wind sensors that automatically retract during gusty conditions.
