Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can awnings help prevent indoor furniture from fading?

    Yes, awnings are highly effective at reducing sun exposure, which helps prevent fading and UV damage to indoor furniture, carpets, curtains, and flooring. When installed over windows or glass doors, awnings block out a significant amount of direct sunlight before it enters the home. This minimises the impact of harsh UV rays that can cause fabric, leather, and timber surfaces to deteriorate over time. In a sun-filled area like Forster, where natural light is abundant, awnings are an excellent way to protect your interior while maintaining comfort and reducing glare.

  • Are there council restrictions on installing awnings in residential areas?

    In many cases, minor awning installations do not require council approval, especially when they’re attached to an existing dwelling and don’t extend beyond property boundaries. However, there may be local council regulations that apply if the awning alters the external appearance of a building, affects drainage, or is visible from the street. Properties in heritage zones, strata developments, or with height or boundary setbacks may also require planning consent. It’s always a good idea to check with MidCoast Council or consult your installer before starting work to ensure the design complies with local building codes and planning policies.

  • How do aluminium awnings compare to polycarbonate awnings?

    Aluminium awnings and polycarbonate awnings serve similar purposes, but they offer different advantages. Aluminium awnings are strong, durable, and ideal for long-term performance in harsh climates. They offer full shade and are resistant to rust, warping, and cracking. Polycarbonate awnings, on the other hand, allow some light to pass through and are often used when maintaining daylight is a priority. However, they can be more prone to scratching and may discolour over time due to UV exposure. In a coastal location like Forster, aluminium is often the preferred option due to its low maintenance and better resilience to salt air and heat.
