Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Range
How long does it take to create a custom awning?
The timeline for your custom awning typically ranges from 4-6 weeks from final design approval to installation. This includes precision manufacturing to your exact specifications, quality control checks, and scheduling your professional installation. We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline during your initial consultation.
Can I choose any colour for my custom awning?
Absolutely! We offer an extensive palette of fabric colours and frame finishes to match your property perfectly. Our design consultants will show you fabric samples and powder-coat options, helping you select combinations that complement your existing architecture and personal style.
What measurements do you need for a custom awning quote?
We’ll need the width and projection (how far you want the awning to extend) of the area you wish to cover, along with the mounting surface details. However, our team provides complimentary on-site consultations where we take precise measurements and assess your space to ensure a perfect fit.
Are custom awnings more expensive than standard sizes?
While custom awnings are tailored specifically to your needs, the price difference compared to standard sizes is often minimal. The investment ensures you get the perfect fit, optimal functionality, and a seamless aesthetic match with your property. We provide transparent, detailed quotes with no hidden costs.
