ELITE Window Furnishings supplies and installs custom awnings across Canberra for homes, patios, and commercial properties.

Awnings
Zip screen awnings Canberra
Zip screen awnings are the go-to choice for Canberra outdoor areas where wind is a factor. The track-guided system locks the fabric in place on both sides, eliminating the flapping and billowing you get with standard awnings. Available in manual or motorised operation, they block UV and glare while still allowing airflow – ideal for alfresco areas you want to use year-round.
Straight drop awnings Canberra
Straight drop awnings are a practical, low-profile solution for windows, balconies and pergolas. They drop vertically to block sun and glare – particularly effective on west-facing windows during Canberra’s long summer afternoons – and roll up neatly when not needed. Available in a range of fabrics and colours to suit any exterior.
Automatic awnings Canberra
Automatic awnings offer simple, reliable shade control with manual operation and a built-in safety feature that automatically retracts the awning in high winds. This helps protect both the awning and your home from damage, a practical choice for modern Canberra homes.
Folding arm awnings Canberra
Folding arm awnings provide wide, post-free shade over patios and decks – extending when you need cover and retracting neatly out of the way when you don’t. They’re the most popular awning choice for Canberra’s outdoor entertaining areas, where summers are bright and the demand for usable outdoor space is high. Available in manual or motorised operation.
Wire guide awnings Canberra
Wire guide awnings are a stylish and practical outdoor shading solution for Canberra homes and businesses. Designed with discreet side wires to help guide the fabric, they provide added stability, privacy and protection from sun and glare. They are ideal for windows, patios and outdoor areas where you want shade, airflow and a clean modern look.
Pivot arm awnings Canberra
Pivot arm awnings are a popular choice for Canberra windows, offering effective shade while still allowing airflow and natural light. The projecting arm design helps block harsh sun and reduce heat, making them ideal for improving comfort inside the home. They are well suited to bedrooms, living areas and other spaces that need privacy and ventilation.
Specialty awnings Canberra
Specialty awnings are designed for unique windows, outdoor areas and custom requirements where standard awning styles may not be the best fit. Ideal for Canberra homes and commercial spaces, they provide tailored sun protection, privacy and weather control while complementing the style of your property. A customised solution can improve both comfort and visual appeal.

Awnings Canberra FAQs
Pricing depends on awning type, size, fabric and whether you choose manual or motorised operation. We provide a free measure and quote for accurate pricing.
Zip screen awnings are the strongest choice for Canberra's windy conditions. The track on both sides of the fabric locks it in place, preventing the flapping and stress on fabric and frame that open-sided awnings experience. For folding arm awnings in exposed positions, motorised models with wind sensors will automatically retract when wind speed reaches a set threshold - protecting the awning and your investment.
Yes. Many awnings can be motorised, and some can integrate with home automation for convenient control.
Yes - including Belconnen, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin and Woden.
Retractable awnings - including folding arm and automatic styles - extend when you need shade and retract when you don't, giving you flexibility and protecting the fabric when not in use. Fixed awnings (like straight drop and window awnings) stay in position and are a lower-cost, lower-maintenance option. For most Canberra patios and decks, a retractable folding arm awning is the most practical choice - it gives you full shade in summer and lets the winter sun in when you want it.
