Automatic Awnings Newcastle
Clever and convenient, Automatic Awnings are perfect for Newcastle & Hunter homes
If you’re looking for convenient Outdoor Blinds that care for themselves in windy conditions, look no further than our Automatic Awnings! A popular option for all Australian homes, our Automatic Awnings respond to high winds and roll themselves up to keep your Retractable Awning fresh and functional. No more wind damage and unnecessary repairs.
Plus, with a huge range of Awning fabric options and componentry colours, you can customise these Awnings to match the existing aesthetic of your home’s facade.
How our Automatic Awnings work
Automatic Awnings combat Australia’s harsh, unpredictable weather conditions using clever lock-arm technology. In high winds, the self locking arms release, allowing the Blind to push itself up to the top of the window. This is handy when storms hit unexpectedly, and you aren’t home to retract them or simply forget to do it while you’re home!
This innovative design was developed in the 1970s and still keeps up with today’s newer, more expensive Retractable Awnings. In fact, Auto Awnings are considered a “cornerstone” of the Australian Awning industry.
When relaxing at home, you can also manually control your Auto Awnings. Thanks to the manual operation system, you can pull your Awnings down to any stopping point and leave them there as long as you like!
Plus, if Auto Awnings are installed higher than usual, you can add a pull stick for easy operation from the ground.

Customisable to suit your home’s facade
Our Auto Awnings are available in three heavy-duty fabrics to withstand the elements: mesh/screen, acrylic and canvas. No matter what you choose, you can count on excellent light control, protection from the elements and full control over privacy in your home.
During our initial design consultation, we’ll share hundreds of fabric samples and colour combinations so that you can compare fabrics to the current aesthetic of your home’s facade.
Aside from our quality fabrics, you’ll also have the opportunity to customise your new Awnings powder-coated componentry. We have 15 rich, vibrant colours to choose from, or you can opt for a custom powder coat from the Dulux Colorbond range if our standard colours don’t fit the space.
Create a traditional Australian design that blends into the neighbourhood, or opt for something fresh and contemporary. The choice is yours with Pazazz Blinds & Shutters — Custom Awnings are our specialty.

Our Process
Step 1
The initial design consultation
You’re welcome to visit our team in our showroom in Mayfield West, or we can organise a convenient time to visit you at home. We offer free design consultations throughout Newcastle, Port Stephens, Maitland, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley!
We’ll meticulously measure the space and help determine the best window furnishings for your home. We’ll also listen to your design ideas and share fabric samples so that you can compare colours, patterns, and designs to your home’s facade.
There’s also no pressure to decide on the day. We’ll leave you with a quote and some samples to consider for now!
Step 2
A free measure & quote
We’ll take detailed measurements during our initial design consultation to provide a competitive quote. We never “guesstimate” when it comes to quotes — we base our prices on the product and the window size.
Remember, this is a 100% free service!
Step 3
Supply & installation
Once you have approved all the fine details of your new Auto Awnings, we’ll send the designs to be manufactured in one of our factories in Australia or Asia. When they return to our showroom in Mayfield West, we’ll be in touch to book installation!
Our products come with a long warranty, so we need to install the Awnings ourselves. We want to secure your warranty and ensure your investment functions perfectly for years to come.
Plus, when we say we take care of everything, we mean it. We always clean up and aim to leave your home looking better than when we arrived… Mainly because we just installed some stylish new Awnings!

FAQs about our convenient Automatic Awnings
Why are they called Automatic Awnings?
Automatic Awnings are designed to be left down all year round without you having to worry about bringing them up in high winds. Using “Auto Lock Arms,” the Awning can be pushed back up on its own in high winds, taking the pressure off its fixing points, which reduces the likelihood of damaging the blind.
Can they be stopped at any point?
Yes. Through the lock arms & guide rails, the awning can be brought down to any point.
What is the best fabric option to choose?
In recent years, the most popular fabric choice has been mesh fabric, which provides a more modern look and allows vision from inside your home or business. Acrylic & Canvas fabrics are also a great option for Automatic Awnings.
How are they operated?
Automatic Awnings can only be operated manually by twisting the bottom rail to unlock the arms, allowing free movement of the blind. A pull stick can be supplied for awnings installed slightly out of reach; however, for two-storey applications, we recommend the Pivot Arm Awning.
