Door & Window Awnings

Colourful and visually appealing, awnings are so much more than just protection from the elements!

Awnings are primarily designed as a cover feature, to keep the rain, wind or sun out of a particular area or section of premises. Awnings are typically bolted into the wall above the door or window they protect, and therefore become a semi-permanent feature of your property. This means awnings should add visual appeal to the building, and must be long-lasting.

Shades Ahead awning solutions are tailor-made to your premises for the perfect fit, with a wide range of styles, materials and colours to choose from. Design options include fixed awnings that are chined, curved, or wedge-shaped, while retractable awnings allow you to control the amount of cover or light in a patio or outside area. Customers can select from our colourful range of colour-fast, weather-proof acrylic, polyester, Chromadek or polypropylene fabrics for their awning, depending on preference and intended application.


All our products are manufactured to international quality standards and carry a 2 year warranty.
