Awnings Sunshine Coast

We offer an extensive selection of awnings for both residential and commercial clients throughout the Sunshine Coast.
All of our products are made locally for quality assurance.

Awnings or outdoor blinds add value to any home. They are an attractive, practical and affordable way to extend your outdoor entertainment areas and shade your windows from the elements. Our awnings can also increase your home’s energy efficiency.

In summer awnings prevent sun glare, and block the sun’s rays from your windows, helping your home to stay cooler and saving you money on power costs.

Reducing the amount of sunlight that enters your home can also help prevent damage to furnishings and floor coverings.

In winter, they help to cut your heating costs by reducing drafts and retaining warmth.

Protect your windows and keep your property insulated with a high-quality awning from iQ Shutters.

Benefits of Awnings

More than just sun protection

If you are thinking about making use of an awning shade in order to protect the outdoor space from sunlight, then you might be interested to hear that they can do more than just cover the harsh rays of the sun. In fact, they can offer protection in a variety of different weathers, including rain or harsh wind. There is a reason that they have become so popular, because they offer much more than just a shade.

Fit them almost anywhere

In the past, homeowners were unable to use shade sail covers because their home was not able to support such a large covering all year round. This is where retractable patio covers are the ideal solution, because they can be much more versatile, allowing you to fit them into smaller spaces.

Easy to fit

The style of retractable shade sails also means that they are available with a variety of attachment brackets, allowing you to install them into a broad variety of windows, including angled or circular windows. In fact, you can fit them to just about any overhead structure. IQ Shutters Sunshine Coast can help you to find the perfect bracket for your home.

Covering board spaces

Another advantage to using more modern retractable cover styles is that you can extend them beyond shade of the window, using them to cover external living spaces, including outdoor home offices. Some retractable awning styles can be as much as 18 meters across, and five meters from your wall. This allows you to go further and get better protection for your home.

Add value to your home

When you are looking for ways to increase the value of your home, retractable awnings are the best choice.

Summer awnings fit for the Sunshine Coast

Our awnings are a great addition to your home in preparation for the next summer season – they are made for Australian properties in particular and offer a fine way to beat the heat. With the additional shade awnings can offer you, you will also save significant amounts on energy costs.

Not many people know this, but unprotected windows result in both heat gain and heat loss throughout the year. A strong awning can lessen the heat transferred from outside – and the vast majority of home heat in the summer is from your windows. Not only does this help keep you cool, it does so while making you rely less upon your air conditioning. Of course, this has the added benefit of saving you money in the long term.

Every year, summer makes sure to put the ‘sunshine’ in ‘Sunshine Coast’ more than ever, so you had best make sure to protect your home.

Local Sunshine Coast awnings

iQ Shutters awnings are all locally-made. This means that every one of our products will match the conditions and homes of the Sunshine Coast, giving you extra peace of mind when selecting your awnings. You can be sure that they will get the job done because their construction is entwined with the temperatures you can expect in the region.

Our awnings use materials that are guaranteed to last for years in even the harshest heat, and local awnings also help to boost our economy. To defend yourself against the searing heat of summertime, iQ Shutters can do the job.

Choosing the right awning accessories

There are plenty of different awnings available for your home, and all of them can do the job well. Our models come in several types and with several accessory options, including timers, wind sensors and other automation features. These allow you to open or close your retractable awnings as you desire with the press of a button.

The wind sensor, in contrast, automatically matches the breeze. This means it retracts in response to high gusts, which might be more necessary than you think during the colder months. Harsh winds can damage the awning’s fabric, so a sensor such as this can help you avoid the maintenance that might follow.
