Sydney is famous for its lifestyle, with some of the most known and loved beaches in the world. It comes as no surprise that Sydneysiders love their sun, and outdoor living has become a key part of life. With such long and scorching summers combined with a love for being outdoors, Sydney homeowners are often looking for ways to cool the home naturally before resorting to switching on the air con and retreating indoors.
This is where awnings come in.
Awnings are like having an air conditioner outdoors, with the air being much cooler under a well-installed awning. This can not only cut your air conditioning costs but protect you from the sun’s rays while allowing you to enjoy the fresh air. Our quality products provide a cost-effective and long-lasting solution to your outdoor spaces, allowing you to make the most of your investment and lifestyle.
Read on to discover why an outdoor awning is right for your home.
The Benefits of Awnings in Sydney
- Lower the cost of temperature control
By blocking the sun from some of its most direct contact, you will be keeping the inside of your home cooler, giving your air conditioner a break, and helping your insulation do its job, lowering your energy bills overall.
- UV protection
Even though Sydneysiders love the sun, they are aware of the dangers it presents. By installing an awning, you will be giving yourself and your family a comfortable place to seek shade.
- Make your furniture last longer
Sun damage isn’t just harmful to the skin, but it can rapidly fade your carpet, furniture, and leather upholstery to make it a sad remnant of its former glory. An awning can stop direct sunlight in its tracks to keep your furniture from cracking, fading, or splintering.
- Reduce your carbon footprint
Heating and cooling large areas is one of the quickest ways to up your energy bill and increase the size of your carbon footprint. By installing an awning over your open window, glass roofs, doors, or balconies, you will be lowering your energy consumption while keeping your home cool the natural way.
- Prevent sun glare
Nobody enjoys the sun shining right in their eyes, or when it bounces off your window to form a blinding glare. With an awning, you will have the rare benefit of ‘optional sun’, having more cover when you need it and wide-open space when you don’t.
- Extend your outdoor room
Awnings are one of the best ways to get up close and personal with the outdoors. By adding an awning to your outdoor area, you will be gaining an extra space to dine, relax and enjoy your property no matter what the weather is doing.
- Gain control over the weather
Maybe you can’t have total control over the weather, but an awning is perhaps as close as you can get. No longer do you need to cancel your outdoor lunch plans because the sky is looking grey, or retreat inside to avoid sunburn, as your awning works hard to protect you from all the elements.
- Improve the street appeal of your home
Awnings have come a long way in the style and design department over the years, and with the range of colours and styles available, an awning could be the cohesion that your external facade is begging for. Your home will look the part in some of Sydney’s best suburbs, and the value of your home may earn a boost in the right direction.
Just as you wouldn’t plan a day at the beach without an umbrella or at least a hat, you shouldn’t leave your deck, outdoor entertainment areas or backyard without protection from the elements. Give your family, pets and air conditioning a break from the heat, while bringing cohesion and style to your home. What’s not to love!?

Testimonials
Nice bloke. Good service . Best price. Great job
Helpful and friendly
Thanks for the new carport guys – looks great. From quote to job completion to after sales service is amazing. No fuss. I highly recommend Correct Constructions.
In my many dealings with John and the staff from Correct Constructions I have always found them to be extremely professional and their dedication and expertise are second to none.
At last I have found a tradesman that shows up on time! John and the team at Correct Constructions have been very professional from start to finish. Not only did they finish on time but there was no hidden extras, everything was as per quotation. Thank you John you have been a pleasure to deal with and I have no problems recommending you to my friends.
I have dealt with John and the Correct Constructions team over many years, with renovations to numerous properties. Their work is second to none, they are efficient and leave the place spotless. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
John & the team recently completed both new carport and pergola for me at my house in Richmond. John has done an excellent job for me and the family and we could not be happier with the result. Thanks again to Correct Constructions
We recently contracted Correct Constructions to build a 12m x 6m carport for us at Mountain Lagoon. John and his team were prompt and rocked up when they said they would. The build quality and materials used were top notch. Most of all the installers, were very tidy even using a magnet on a long handle to sweep the dirt around the site to remove any screws or sheet metal swarf which may have become embedded in our pets paws. Great job and excellent service, very happy to recommend. I will definitely have them back for another job next year.
