Pivot Arm Awnings

Pivot arm awnings are a versatile external shading solution designed to provide adjustable sun protection while keeping your outdoor areas open and usable. Unlike vertical blinds, pivot arm awnings extend outward from the wall, creating a shaded zone beneath while maintaining airflow and outward visibility. This makes them especially popular for windows, balconies and outdoor entertaining spaces where light control is important but full enclosure isn’t required.

The arms of the awning pivot outward and downward, allowing the fabric to be angled based on the position of the sun. This design is particularly effective in managing low afternoon sun, which is common in many Newcastle homes with west-facing windows or outdoor areas. Pivot arm awnings help reduce heat and glare entering the home while still allowing breezes to circulate naturally.

Installed externally, pivot arm awnings also act as a first line of defence against solar heat, reducing the workload on indoor cooling systems. Their adaptable design makes them suitable for both residential and light commercial applications, offering a balance between functionality, comfort and visual appeal.

Key Benefits

✔ Superior Sun Angle Control

Pivot arm awnings allow you to control how sunlight enters your space by adjusting the angle of the fabric. This makes them particularly effective at blocking low-angle sun that can cause glare inside living areas, while still letting natural light filter through earlier in the day. Over time, this helps maintain more stable indoor temperatures.

✔ Maintains Airflow & Visibility

Unlike fully enclosed outdoor blind systems, pivot arm awnings keep your outdoor areas feeling open. Air can move freely underneath the awning, which is ideal for coastal conditions where ventilation helps regulate comfort and prevent heat build-up

✔ Enhances Energy Efficiency

By shading windows externally, pivot arm awnings reduce the amount of heat that enters your home during warmer months. This can lessen reliance on air conditioning, leading to improved energy efficiency and potentially lower cooling costs.

In Newcastle’s warmer seasons, this passive shading solution contributes to a more comfortable home environment without ongoing energy usage.

✔ Clean, Architectural Appearance

Pivot arm awnings offer a neat, modern aesthetic that complements both contemporary and traditional homes. Available in a wide range of fabric colours and finishes, they can be tailored to blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior.

When retracted, the awning sits discreetly against the building, preserving the clean lines of your façade when shade isn’t needed.
