Pivot Arm Awnings

Classic Window Shade with Modern Engineering

Pivot arm awnings installed on modern Sunshine Coast home

Pivot arm awnings are a timeless and effective solution for shading ground-floor and upper-level windows across Sunshine Coast homes. The arms pivot outward from the top of the window frame, holding the fabric at an angle that deflects direct sunlight before it reaches the glass — dramatically reducing heat gain and keeping rooms cooler naturally.

Unlike fixed structures, pivot arm awnings allow airflow and light in from the sides while blocking overhead sun. They're a tried-and-true favourite for Noosa and the broader Sunshine Coast thanks to their clean look, excellent wind resistance, and proven energy efficiency.

Available in a wide range of acrylic fabrics to complement any home exterior.
