Folding Arm Awnings
Folding arm awnings are an excellent and stylish way to add shade to your outdoor area. They are incredibly durable and easy to use making them perfect for both commercial and residential properties alike. They’re made with a retractable system that not only provides shade but can also amplify the overall aesthetic of your outdoor area. They are perfect for larger outdoor spaces and allow you to make the most of Melbourne’s warm summer days without cooking under the harsh Australian sun.
More than a design feature, folding arm awnings can also add to the overall value of your property as well as provide significant energy savings by blocking the sun from directly hitting your outdoor space and windows. And at Delux Blinds, we’re experts in helping create custom awnings for outdoor entertaining areas of all shapes and sizes. With over 25 years of experience, we’ll know just how to outfit your home with a folding arm awning built to last.

Reasons to Buy
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Roller Blinds in Melbourne.
Absolutely! Our range of high-quality folding arm awnings are available in a variety of timeless colours, fabrics and finishes so you can create the perfect awning to suit your unique property and needs. You can choose how much area they cover and even opt for a fully enclosed awning for total protection of your outdoor space.
You can also choose whether you’d like your awning to be crank operated or motorised. Both options guarantee smooth performance so it comes down to what works best for you and your property. We also offer pitch control which allows you to adjust the angle of your blind to match the angle of the sun promising shade all day long.
If you find where you’d like your blind to roll up is exposed to the elements, we can even provide a cassette that will protect it from the harsh Melbourne weather and ensure your awning has the longest life possible.
With moving parts located out in the great outdoors, you can’t expect your awning to last forever. But what you can expect is for it to last a very long time. Most folding arm awnings last upwards of 15 years when cared for properly (i.e. don’t leave it open during a wind storm).
The best window treatment companies will also offer workmanship guarantees on top of the fabric and product warranties that come with the actual awning installation.
Yes. Automated models come with a backup manual override option to allow you to retract the awning during bad weather.
You can choose how much of the folding arm awning you want to extend depending on your needs. Some options, like pitch control, may only work when the awning is completely extended.
Not all of the fabrics used in creating custom awnings will keep you dry. They might be water resistant and designed to stand up to the elements, but they might not be waterproof. So, it’s important to consider this when choosing your fabrics.
If sensors are important to you, you’ll want to make sure to say so up front so you can get an accurate quote from your vendor. That said, you can equip folding arm awnings with a variety of sensors including sun sensors that extend the shade automatically. There are also rain and wind sensors that can retract the awning automatically so it is not damaged in inclement weather.
Why Delux Blinds
We work closely with our clients and our suppliers to deliver the best possible outcome. No matter what your window needs might be, Delux Blinds is the solution for indoor blinds, plantation shutters, outdoor blinds and curtains.
Why Choose to Install a Retractable Awning
Folding arm awnings are one of the best ways to make outdoor spaces even more livable. Like window coverings, they block the bright rays of the strong Melbourne sun from penetrating through and causing UV damage to your belongings and your loved ones.
These awnings are also quite stylish and can add value to a home by creating an extended living space. They also help protect your home when unfurled, which means you can block heat and light from making it into your home, affecting your energy bills for the better.
