Awning StyleSTEP 1

Australia leads the world in awning design due to our perfect climate which allows us to live and entertain outdoors.

The Platinum Awnings Series has been designed by Australians, specifically for our lifestyles in Western Australia, ensuring design, styling and quality were top of mind. The modern awning series is suited to all exterior buildings.

For a modern contemporary look, the Platinum Awning Series offers two designer headbox options, as well as an open roller option.

Headbox OptionsSTEP 2

Closed Headbox

Encapsulates the fabric and protects it from external elements such as rain, UV and, fragments, which assists in keeping the fabric clean. It also enhances longevity.

Open Roller

A modern, industrial look is offered by exposing the operation componentry. By eliminating the aluminium headbox profiles the price is significantly reduced making it the ideal choice to reduce cost.

Open Headbox

Offers increased air circulation around the roller thereby minimising heat build-up and reduced sticking on clear PVC skins.

Open headbox is ideal for the Pivot Arm Awning but can also be used in front-rolled Cable Guide and Straight Drop Awnings.


Heavy-Duty Pivot Arm

The heavy-duty spring in the Pivot Arm provides excellent

fabric tension, even with awning widths up to five metres.

The arms have a modern anodised finish which

complements the standard Silver Pearl hardware colour.

Custom powder-coated colours are also available.

Pivot Arm Feature

Fabric is projected off the window which allows air to flow behind the Awning.

Windows can be open whilst the Awning is projected.

Open Headbox

Increases air circulation around the roller.

This minimises heat build-up and reduces sticking on clear PVC skins.

Open headbox is ideal for the Pivot Arm Awning.

Front Rail

Designed to have the same curve as the Straight Drop bottom rail.

This creates flexibility in being able to mix and match the awnings throughout your home as it holds the design consistency.

The Platinum Awning Series’ Bottom Rail offers versatility for holding the fabric taut and minimising any movement in windy situations.

Not only does it consist of a variety of features, it maintains a subtle, modern design curve which seamlessly blends with the headbox aesthetics.

Weight Bar

The heavy-duty bottom rail has been designed to offer an additional weight bar. This is beneficial for smaller awnings which require additional weight to reduce bottom rail bounce and increase fabric tension.

Pile Brush and Valance

As is experienced in a number of Australian homes, the floor surface is often not perfectly level. Therefore, when an awning is installed over a wide width there will be room for : light gaps, insects, debris, wind and rain to enter your courtyard or home.

With the ability to insert either pile brush or a fabric valance, this gap can be eliminated therefore maximising the functionality of the awning.

In addition to the protection offered by these inserts, they also protect the bottom rail from chipping if dropped to the ground quickly, as well as changing the overall look of the awning based on the valance style chosen.

Locking Bolt

The locking bolt secures the awning into the universal floor mount bracket or breaching staple.

Hold Down Strap

Hold down straps can be used to hold the awning down at various points across the width of the awning. This option also offers a traditional no- guide system where the awning is simply locked into place via straps. Similar to the locking bolts, the hold-down clips also insert inside the bottom rail for a clean bottom-rail finish.


Operating OptionsSTEP 3

The Platinum Awning Series has been developed to offer maximum flexibility for operation, you have the choice of the following:

• Manual Crank• Motorisation• Spring Operation

Manual Crank

• The geared crank ensures easy operation that is not dependent on your strength.

• Available in a selection of Black, Grey and White for improved colour co-ordination.

• The geared crank handles are available in: 800mm, 1200mm, 1600mm, 2000mm and 2400mm lengths to suit any awnings height.

Motorisation

Control your awning with the touch of a button with motorisation. The Platinum Awning Series can be used with the latest Automatic Tensioning Motors that permit awnings to be locked in position (with strap or sliding bolt) and tensioned. This maintains tension on the fabric, minimising fabric “blow outs” traditionally caused by unexpected high winds.

Spring Operation

The ultimate control which allows you to manually adjust the height of the awning and secure

it using either the sliding bolt system or hold-down clip option.


Awning Canvas FabricEverview External Screen Fabric

PLATINUMAWNING SERIES There are numerous choices of

awning fabric on the market,

When selecting your fabric keep the following in mind.

FabricsSTEP 5

Privacy and view through

There are open and closed weave awning fabrics. Consider if you want day or night time privacy.

An open-weave fabric in a dark colour gives fantastic view through in the day but also allows others to see in at night.

Durability

Be mindful that when a fabric is used outdoors it is exposed to the elements.

Fabrics with DURAGUARD® Fabric Protection keep odours away, protect against the development of bacteria, resists stains and stop mildew and fungi build-up.

Colour fastness

Ensure the fabric you choose has excellent fade resistance to the sun’s harmful rays.

Any fabric with a fade-resistance result of 6 and above will ensure your fabric remains the colour you selected for many years to come.


Platinum Awnings have been independently tested and proven to significantly reduce cooling energy costs by keeping a standard* home at a consistent and comfortable temperature throughout the summer months.

WINDLOAD


The Platinum Awnings series is designed in Australia for Australian conditions.

The awnings have been engineered and independently tested to withstand the harsh Australian climate.

An awning must withstand at least 40-50 km/hour on the Beaufort Wind Scale to be considered highly effective.

Platinum Awnings can sustain wind speeds up to 60km/hour ensuring there is a Platinum Awning System to suit all environments.
