Straight Drop Awnings

Straight drop awnings, often referred to as external roller blinds, provide a refined and highly effective way to control sun, glare and privacy in outdoor areas. Installed externally, they reduce heat before it reaches your windows or entertaining spaces while still maintaining airflow and outward visibility.

Commonly used on patios, verandas and outdoor rooms, straight drop awnings create a comfortable shaded environment while maintaining the clean architectural lines of your home.

Available Systems

Side Retained System (Zip System)
Side retained systems secure the fabric within discreet side channels, creating a sleek architectural appearance while significantly improving stability in windy conditions. This system also reduces light gaps and helps create a more enclosed outdoor space.

Wire Guide System
Wire guide awnings run along stainless steel cables, maintaining tension in the fabric while keeping the visual appearance minimal and unobtrusive. This option works well where a lighter system is preferred.

Unretained Awnings
A traditional straight drop awning where the fabric drops freely without side guides. This provides a simple and clean shading solution for windows and areas where side retention is not required.
