Retractable Shade Systems
If you really want to make a statement in a courtyard or beer garden choose a retractable pergola system with an architectural edge. Or add signwriting to a commercial-grade folding arm awning for alfresco areas that need to be closed overnight. We can recommend solutions for north facing areas that experience high overhead sun or for west facing area that is affected by the glare of the setting sun. These are top-end solutions that add attractive glamour, pizzazz and contemporary hospitality your patrons deserve.
Architectural Umbrellas
Perfect for situations where freestanding shading is required. These umbrellas are built to last, are available in a large variety of shapes and spans and can be joined to cover long, square or circular areas. Add PVC blinds to the perimeters for cold weather protection and install heating for all year comfort. LED lights finish off your magical outdoor zone for making happy memories and contented customers.
Canopy Awnings
Add romance, street appeal and advertising space to your premises with a canopy awning. You can choose from a huge range of colours, or customise a colour to match your store. Simply add signwriting and Voila! – You will suddenly increase your exposure and attract passing traffic. Plus, these clever beauties can be easily reskinned if you change names or colour-scheme. Pop a table or two, or a rack of your on-sale wares underneath the canopy where they will stay protected from sun and light rain.
Zipscreens
Protect an existing outdoor area with a versatile Zipscreen. Choose clear or coloured, in PVC, acrylic or mesh fabric. Perfect when you want to keep out insects, minimise wind and dust and add pizzazz to your indoor-outdoor zone. Zipscreens are a popular choice for cafes, bistros, wineries and commercial alfresco areas for their sleek appeal and advanced functionality.
Exterior Blinds and Shutters
Skylights and large glass walls are fantastic for letting in light and framing a view, but not so great when heat and glare keep customers away. As Victoria’s leading outdoor shading specialist we are renowned for our out-of-the-box thinking. Our consultants have a toolkit full of solutions for installing outdoor blinds, awnings and shutters to solve even the trickiest situation.
Let’s face it, with unpredictable weather and more competition every day, can you afford not to have the perfect outdoor shading for your business?
