We manufacture two different styles of retractable and Folding Arm Awnings to suit your needs:
- Semi cassette – These clever awnings can be mounted under the eaves of your property or on the ceiling. The fabric rolls up neatly when the awning is not in use, providing an unobtrusive appearance. This neat mechanism also ensures your awning is protected from weather-related conditions such as damp and mould, making sure that your awning will last as long as possible.
- Full cassette – Full cassette awnings are ideal for large outdoor areas such as pool sides and terraces, as well as commercial applications. The innovative design enables you to choose the amount of shade your property receives at any time, so you can always provide an appropriate solution for the weather conditions. When not in use, the awning fabric is enclosed completely in the cassette, giving it full protection from the weather. The cassette is discreetly mounted on the wall, providing a streamlined, barely noticeable appearance.
Both styles of awning are also easy to customise. They are made from a durable, lightweight fabric which is available in a wide range of colours. You can choose to coordinate with your property or provide a colourful contrast, stamping your individuality onto the outdoor areas of your home.

We offer a choice of two different operation methods for our awnings. If you want a more traditional solution, you can choose crank handle operation. This is extremely easy and quiet, enabling you to react quickly to changing weather conditions.
However, for a truly smart, future-proof solution, you can choose to have your awnings motorised. This means they can be operated at the touch of a single button. They’re also compatible with smart home software, enabling you to operate your awnings from your smartphone or tablet. If the weather changes when you’re not there, you can still operate your awnings to protect your property.
You also have the option of including sun and wind sensors, so your awnings will react automatically to the weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About our Gold Coast Retractable & Folding Arm Awnings
What is a Folding Arm Awning?
How do Folding Arm Awnings work?
Retractable awnings rely on a spring-loaded folding arm to keep the fabric tight. The real work is when you go to retract the awning. It is much harder on you (manually operated) or the motor to retract the awning due to the internal arm springs you are now stretching.
Are Folding Arm Awnings easy to use?
Folding Arm Retractable Awnings are very easy to use. You can deploy or retract the shade manually by using a conveniently located crank handle or winder.
You can also choose to motorise the awning, allowing you to simply push a button to raise or lowerit.
With a motorised awning, you can even fit rain and wind sensors, which will detect the weather conditions and automatically lower or raise the awning.
Why choose a Folding Arm Awning?
Homeowners can use these retractable awnings to create great entertainment spaces that give their family and guests access to the fresh air of the outdoors, while protecting them from harsh weather.
Folding Arm Awnings can create a shaded space that is completely unobstructed by permanent posts or beams.
For businesses like restaurants and retail outlets, this shaded outdoor space is perfect for adding a functional space for merchandise display, tables and chairs that increase patronage and boost profits.
