"Recently renovated our whole house and contacted Amaru through word of mouth of colleagues…couldn’t be more satisfied with the end result! They came out and advised on products to suit our budget and went further to match our décor and chose a colour to match in perfectly!! It was ordered and installed in the timeframe they specified! I WILL be recommending this company to others…very professional…couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you!
Suitable for these areas
These awnings can be used on pretty much any window around the home, from those at the front to those down the sides and at the back (no matter how narrow a space you have). If you have a double storey home, motorised fixed guide awnings are the perfect solution for shading your windows. They can also be used commercially if desired, just be aware that there are often restrictions on coverings protruding over footpaths.
Colour Choices
To ensure that your window awnings are the perfect complement for your home, Amaru offers an extensive range of colours across all of our fabric options. Opt for something more neutral or stand out from the crowd with something brighter. Not sure what colour you want? Our décor consultants are here to help!
*Due to variations in monitors and browsers, colours may appear differently. The best way to ensure that your colour choices are correct is to view a sample by booking a free measure or visiting our showroom.

In previous years, it was actually quite common for awnings to be fitted with a striped fabric. These days, however, it is more common to find them with more of a plain design. No matter which pattern you desire, Amaru can make it happen! We have a variety of fabrics at our disposal.
PLAIN
- Enhance the home’s other colour features or make a bold statement of colour
- Blend into the wall colour for a less obvious look
STRIPED
- Vertical stripes can make the home or window appear taller
- Gives a more traditional awning look
"Recently, I have bought blinds and awnings for my home and the quality of both products are good. The customer service is great. The prices are also reasonable. Overall, good job.
More Features & Options
We have a variety of additional features and options that could be added to your awnings to enhance their use. Speak with your consultant to see what is possible with your choice of fabric and operation.
Energy Efficient
Before air conditioning, awnings were helpful for keeping our homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Interior Protection
Awnings can help to protect the inside of the home against sun damage on furniture, upholstery and floor coverings.
Light Control
Leave the awning down to block sunlight completely or raise them to allow plenty of sunlight to flow through.
Sensors
If you choose to go motorised, we can also install sensors that will automatically open and close the awning based on the weather.
Reduce Glare
When closed, awnings will reduce the amount of glare in your home – watch television or work on the computer without distraction.
Solar Powered
Select solar powered motorised awnings and get full control over the sun’s rays.
FAQs about Standard Awnings
They were traditionally available as a manual operated awning, however, the fixed guide style can be automated, which is ideal for second storey windows.
As our outdoor awnings have been designed specifically with outdoor use in mind, you can rest assured that they will be able to withstand the elements with ease. It is, however, recommended that they be retracted during storms to ensure that no damage is caused.
