SIDE RETENTION SYSTEM
A straight drop option ideal for sun/UV protection, insect resistance, windy applications, enclosing a balcony and creating privacy.
​
The fabric is tensioned by utilising a floating channel, located within the special two piece side channel, eliminating the possibility of fabric “blow outs” or light gaps.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Alpha Awnings proven to reduce cooling energy costs by up to 60%*. Alpha Awnings have been independently tested & proven to significantly reduce cooling energy costs by keeping a standard* home at a consistent & comfortable temperature throughout the summer months.
​
With an Alpha Awning on your home it will reflect heat, keep interiors cool and reduce energy costs by up to:
Perth: 48%
Melbourne: 13%
Sydney: 44%
Brisbane: 58%
