    Frequently Asked Questions

    Retractable Awning FAQ’s

    What Is the difference between a retractable awning and a drop awning?

    Both the retractable awning and drop awning are popular with our customers. The difference between the two is based primarily on the positioning and capabilities. The Retractable Awning can extend or retract in response to weather conditions or entertainment preferences. With a motorised mechanism controlled by remote or automatic function, this awning style offers assorted options to suit changing needs.

    In comparison, the Straight Drop Awnings is a traditional style that drops vertically to provide protection from heat and control of external light; this option is typically available as spring operation, crank handle operation, or motorisation.

    How much do retractable awnings cost in Melbourne?

    The cost of a retractable awning is dependent on two factors. Firstly, compared to their counterparts, our awnings have an increased life span due to their retractable feature. This reduces the overall exposure to Melbourne’s conditions that are detrimental to fixed awnings. 

    Secondly, the cost reflects the quality of the product. Adhering to European industry standards, our retractable systems reflect the time, resources, and skills dedicated to providing Melbourne with premium retractable awning systems. Our retractable awning range includes chromatised aluminium, durable die-cast parts and secure steel cables for a long-lasting, hassle-free operation and a five-year warranty.

    What features do you need in a retractable awning?

    A superior quality retractable awning will incorporate these features:

    • waterproofing
    • options for opening and closing the awning
    • designed to suit space
    • come in a range of shapes and sizes
    • offer a range of colours and patterns
    • components meet European standards
    • quality components and parts
    • made of UV resistant material
    • 5-year warranty
    • maximum projection 4.5m
    • maximum width up to 8m (single units)
    • optional retractable valance up to 1.6m drop
    • wall / ceiling / fascia mount options
    • awning pitch can be set between 0 and 40 degrees

    What can a retractable awning be used for?

    Retractable awnings can be used in a range of residential and commercial settings throughout Melbourne. Generally, the primary purpose is to provide outdoor living options suited for Melbourne’s changeable conditions.

    In Melbourne homes, retractable awnings add value to any space by creating an additional operative area for both warm and colder conditions. During Melbourne’s summer months, our awnings provide protection and shade to enjoy outdoor gatherings. During cold winters, you can benefit from its protection from harsh, wet weather conditions. Our awning range is ideal for decks, pool areas, verandas, patios, privacy and security. 

    As a commercial product, our awnings are used outside of Melbourne cafes, restaurants, bars, and outdoor gatherings areas. Helioscreen’s durable, high-performing designs provide an attractive, creative and durable solution for any commercial awning vision.

    Why choose a Helioscreen retractable awning?

    Helioscreen Awnings use quality components designed, engineered, and manufactured in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Each part requires compliance assurance with the industry’s strict European standards before Helioscreen will include them in local manufacturing operations.

    Helioscreen has developed a range of aesthetic and functional solutions to expand external living spaces, create security and privacy and reduce energy costs. Some key identifiers to look for when comparing our world-class products to our competitors are:

    • Our components are made in Europe, while cheaper alternatives are only designed in Europe
    • We manufacture your retractable awnings in Australia (so we can design your product with precision, exact specifications and provide an efficient turnaround time); in comparison, cheaper alternatives may offer long timeframes, which could reflect overseas manufacturing and often incurs hidden delivery costs and difficulty should issues arise
    • We talk the talk. We know our products and can answer any question you have. We have been in this business for over 30 years and know what works and what doesn’t. Suppose the company you’re working with cannot answer your questions. In that case, it’s potentially indicative of a lack of experience, and we suggest seeking a second opinion.

    What areas of Melbourne do you service?

    Our highly experienced team at Helioscreen services the entire Greater Melbourne region. If you have any questions about the services Helioscreen provides, please contact us to discuss your retractable awning requirements.

    Are your retractable awnings built for Melbourne's conditions?

    Melbourne’s temperamental weather conditions are diverse and changeable throughout the year, sometimes displaying four seasons in one day. With a temperate climate, Melbourne experiences warm to hot summers and cold, brisk and wet winters. Melbourne also is subjected to extreme heat, above-average levels of humidity and torrential rainfall throughout the year. 

    It is important to choose a retractable awning that is built to withstand Melbourne’s conditions, ensuring it is custom-made with durable material and high-performing operation. With an extended lifespan and UV protective material, our retractable awnings are designed to handle Melbourne’s demanding conditions all year round.
