Retractable Awnings
Helioscreen Australia's retractable awnings transform outdoor spaces with European-engineered systems designed for Australian conditions. Featuring durable aluminium frames and weather-resistant fabrics, these motorised solutions provide adjustable shade for patios, decks, and commercial areas. Customisable in 150+ colours with optional sensors for automatic operation, they enhance comfort while protecting interiors from UV damage.
Outdoor Blinds
Engineered to reduce solar heat gain by up to 90%, our outdoor blinds use stainless steel guide cables and UV-stabilised fabrics for longevity. Available in manual or motorised options with wind sensors, these systems control sunlight penetration while maintaining views. Ideal for residential balconies and commercial facades requiring precise light management.
Retractable Roof Systems
All-weather retractable roof systems create versatile living and commercial spaces with 100% waterproof membranes. Featuring architectural-grade aluminium structures and integrated LED lighting, these motorised solutions withstand high winds while providing instant climate control. Commonly installed over pools, alfresco dining areas, and hospitality venues for year-round usability.
Motorised Blinds
Smart motorised blind systems offer precise light control through remote, wall switch, or building management integration. Using Somfy motors with solar sensors, these solutions optimise energy efficiency in homes and offices. Available in blackout and translucent fabrics with 5-year warranty coverage for components and automation.
Indoor Blinds
Custom indoor blinds combine heat reduction with aesthetic flexibility, featuring 64% UV blockage in blackout models. Available as single or double roller systems with chain or motor operation, these solutions suit bedrooms, boardrooms, and commercial spaces requiring glare control and privacy.
