The experts at Alfresco Blinds Co can help you fit and install the perfect Traditional or Automatic Awnings for your home. For all kinds of weather conditions, all year round.

One of the key benefits of awnings is their excellent performance against nature’s elements, which is a highly valued attribute for any outdoor investment in Australia. Outdoor window awnings screen the sun’s glare and heat more effectively than interior blinds. The tough, durable fabrics and fixtures on our external window awnings retain their sleek appearance and protective qualities season after season, allowing you to extend the longevity of your outdoor furniture and flooring while creating an attractive outdoor area.

We have a huge range of canvas fabrics available that provide a 100% UV blockout. Or retain your views by selecting one of our many screen mesh fabrics which allow light to filter into your home.

Drop-arm awnings are a great way of providing shade for your home or business. These installations are ideal over doorways, terraces, balconies and shop fronts.

Retractable Awning Melbourne

Drop arm awnings can be motorised or manually operated so large areas can be covered easily. Reduce room temperatures, prevent wooden flooring from warping and carpets from fading, protect soft-furnishings or commercial stock, fixtures and fittings from the damaging effect of the harsh sun with drop arm window awnings.

Ideal for any window, motorised installations are particularly suitable for windows on upper floors. Manual operation suits ground and lower levels with easy access. Drop-arm outdoor window awnings can act as a canopy and function as an excellent alternative to folding arm awnings. Choose canvas or acrylic fabric to create a near-total blockout. Otherwise, opt for a mesh fabric to optimise protection from the sun while keeping your views.

Window shades are a secondary cover that overhangs the window outside, typically made with fabric such as canvas, cotton or polyester. Window awnings Melbourne-wide are an excellent choice for residents as they are not only visually appealing but can also provide protection from the harsh Australian weather.

There are a number of reasons to invest in window shades and canvas awnings. Alfresco Blinds Co provides an extensive range of awning styles to complement your home, restaurant or business with professional installation from experts.

If you need a shade solution for an upstairs window, a spring-loaded cord-operated blind is an excellent choice. With the choice of stainless steel or galvanised rods and cable guides. Our window awnings come standard with Colorbond headbox hooding in a variety of material types.

Fixed guide awnings and blinds are versatile and can be operated from the outside with pulleys and cords or motorised for your convenience. For installations within arms reach (e.g. ground floor windows) our fixed guide awnings can be operated using a crank handle and gearbox.

Motorisation allows you to control your awnings individually or simultaneously, as well as supporting other useful functions such as timers and climate sensors. Motorised functionality is as effortless as the touch of a button. At Alfresco, we opt for well-known motor and component brands such as Somfy or Becker motors. Wind and sun sensors provide constant protection, as the motorised awning will automatically extend when it detects sun and retracts in high winds to avoid damage. Wired and wireless options are available.

Take a look at our selection of eShade straight drop, fixed guide or wire guide awnings. Our range of outdoor blinds and awnings is endless.

Sunblinds are suitable for windows that open outwards thanks to the spring arms that are available in 150mm, 300mm and 450mm long. Special aluminium arms are also available with powdercoated rail guides.

Had our new zip track blinds installed at the start of 2021. Couldn’t have been more happier with the service from the initial quote to the installation. The finished product is of high quality. Felix was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to deal with. We’ve had him back in to quote on an indoor curtain and again the service and quality of information was excellent.

Felix was amazing to deal with, providing a lot of ideas and guidance with enclosing our outdoor area. We can't believe how quick the turnaround time from quote to installation was! Very professional and blinds are a top quality product, highly recommend Alfresco Blinds!!

Chris from Alfresco Blinds was an amazing person to deal with. He explained everything thoroughly to us and helped us choose the perfect blind, and colour for our alfresco. His installers were just as good. If your looking to get a blind I would look no further give Chris and his team a call you won’t be disappointed.

This company is one is a million, truly.We had recent storms in Melbourne (July '21) which blew down a tonne of trees in the East of Melbourne, from 100k+ winds. The storm damage made the news for weeks.I had all the blinds down on the night on my 2nd story alfresco, with my fingers crossed may l say. The wind coming through the blinds, opened by bi-fold doors up on three occasions (the wind rattled the locks down, until the doors opened). The blinds stood up to it all, l was blown away (excuse the pun!).I have had the electric blinds a few years and they would have to be the best investment l have made, they are worth every dollar. Chris and the team are great fella's, l can not recommend this company enough, you will not go wrong.

My husband and I are absolutely delighted with our Ziptrack blinds. We now virtually have another room that can be used all year round. The blinds provide privacy and protection from the elements, they keep the sun, wind and rain out and we are able to enjoy our Alfresco area no matter what the weather is like. From the outset Felix was thorough and provided great options and information, a problem solver. Other companies I contacted seemed to find our area too hard (can't imagine why). Felix offered options and solutions. The installers Steve and Chris were on time and quick with the installation. I would not hesitate in recommending Alfresco Blinds Co. to any of my family and friends. Great job! Lynn - Eltham

Chris and the team at Alfresco are amazing, our blinds were damaged in the high winds (our fault for not retracting them). Chris covered all parts and installer costs as such I highly recommend them. Thanks Andrew & Janice
