What Is A Fixed Steel Aluminium Awning?

Also known as Cooloola or Caribbean awnings, fixed steel aluminium awnings are a superb way to protect you and your home from the harsh Australian climate. Simply fixed above windows or doors, these awnings protect your home in two important ways. 

Sun Protection With Aluminium Awnings

Choosing a fixed steel or aluminium awning helps to keep your home cool. The metal awning reflects the heat and sunlight away from your home, so it’s easier to maintain a comfortable temperature, as well as protecting your belongings from the harsh rays of the sun.

    The primary benefits of fixed steel aluminium awnings include enhanced durability and low maintenance. They are designed to withstand harsh weather, from scorching sun to heavy rain. Additionally, their structural strength prevents sagging and bending over time. These awnings also offer superior sun protection, effectively reducing heat and UV exposure, which helps maintain cooler indoor temperatures.

  • How are fixed steel aluminium awnings installed?

This process typically requires professional installation to ensure the awning is safely and correctly mounted, guaranteeing optimal performance and durability.

  • Are fixed steel aluminium awnings weather-resistant?

    Fixed steel aluminium awnings are designed to be highly weather-resistant. They are made from materials that resist corrosion, rust and fading. Their durability suits withstanding diverse Australian climates, from humid coastal regions to dry inland areas, ensuring long-term performance and appearance retention.

  • Do fixed steel aluminium awnings require maintenance?

    Fixed steel aluminium awnings require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is usually sufficient to keep them looking new. They do not need frequent repairs or replacements, making them a cost-effective and convenient option for long-term shading solutions.

  • Can fixed steel aluminium awnings be removed or adjusted after installation?

    While fixed steel aluminium awnings are designed to be permanent fixtures, adjustments or removal can be done if necessary.
