If you are researching awnings in Auckland as you want to add an awning as a feature on your home or business, there are several things you need to consider. A member of our team can go through your options in detail, helping you make the right choice.

To give you an idea, however, here are some of the things you should consider in relation to retractable awnings and installing a solution on your Auckland home.

What is the main purpose for getting the awning?

Awnings are used for a range of reasons, including protecting your patio or other outside spaces from the rain. An awning shades you from the Auckland sun, too, and it can improve the privacy of your outside spaces. In general, awnings can make your outside spaces more comfortable and usable, despite the weather conditions outside.

The thing to remember is that there are loads of outdoor awnings and options available in Auckland. So, to make sure you get one that meets your needs, think about the main purpose for buying one.

What method of operation do you want?

Traditionally, awnings have been manually operated using a range of methods. The manual awnings that we offer at Weathermaster have modern and easy to use mechanisms that make opening and retracting your awning a simple and straightforward process.

If you want the awning to be even easier to operate, motorisation is the way to go for your Auckland home. With a motorised awning, simply press a button to either open or retract it.

Motorisation adds convenience and will enhance your outside spaces even further.

Where are you going to install the awning?

You might not have much flexibility with this point, but it is still important to consider where the awning will be installed as it may have an impact. It could have an impact on the type of awning that is suitable, for example, as well as the method of installation.

How does the sun impact the space where you plan to install the awning?

It is important to think about how the sun moves throughout the day and how that movement affects the area you want to protect with the awning. After all, there is no point getting an awning installed only to find the sun still glares where you don’t want it to.

So, consider the space that requires shading. At Weathermaster, we’ll then be able to customise your solution to ensure the best possible performance.

What colour are you going to choose?

Getting the colour and style of your awning right is a matter of personal preference, but it’s important the awning fits and complements the rest of your outside space. Remember, though, that the awning you buy from us will be a feature on your house for some time to come. So, make sure you get something that you not only like today, but which you will also like in the future as design trends change.

If you are unsure about the right colour to choose, the following tips might help.

• Reflecting sunlight – go for light colours and light fabrics
• Shade and privacy – darker colours and heavier fabrics are best

Awnings offer an array of benefits:

• Energy Savings – Awnings are a great way to reduce your summer energy bills by as much as 20%.
• Protection – Awnings can help protect upholstery, curtains and furniture are usually exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays, thereby ensuring they retain their natural colour for years to come.
• Decor – When choosing an awning, it’s important to consider aspects such as the age of your home and the architecture. We offer awnings in contemporary, modern and traditional designs and hundreds of fabric patterns to choose from.
• Reliable – At Weathermaster Auckland, we offer a 3-year warranty on all our awnings. Because our products are of the highest quality, you are assured of lasting results.
