Alpha Straight Drop Awnings
Our Alpha Awning is a traditional straight drop awning that uses no guides making it ideal for sun/UV protection & air flow. The fact that it uses no channels means this system can be installed just about anywhere.
Alpha Cable Guide Awnings
The cable guided system is great contemporary straight drop option for sun/UV protection, air flow & where channels are not suitable.
We install high tensile 2.5mm x 316 grade marine stainless steel cables, making them perfect for our coastal environment with sunny days & salt spray from the beach to the escarpment.
Bottom Rail End Caps
By floating in and out of the bottom rail our cable guide awning operates smoothly, without putting pressure on the cable.
Alpha Side Retention Awnings
Our Side Retention Alpha Awning is perfectly suited for sun/UV protection, insect resistance, windy applications, enclosing a balcony & creating privacy.
With this system, the fabric is tensioned utilising a floating channel, located within the special two piece side channel, eliminating the possibility of fabric “blow outs”or light gaps. The side channels integrate seamlessly within existing building structures like wall & posts.
Whether up or down this system is discreet & sophisticated!

Automation
All our awnings can be operated by wall switch or remote control. We carry two world leading motor systems – Somfy & Turnils Merger.
Motorisation of awnings has a number of benefits aside from convenience;
- often large awnings can be extremely heavy to lift
- cords can be located in in accessible places etc.
- child safety around cords
- 240 volt hard wired OR Lithium battery options
- NeoSmart, Somfy Remote & App control options
- Home Automation connectivity
Alpha M also pairs with the Merger Sun & Wind Sensor, offering peace of mind. In the event of extreme weather conditions the sensor will automatically retract once a high wind level is reached.
NOTE: It is recommended that all awnings be retracted in windy conditions..
