Awnings
External Awning • Melbourne Residence
Architectural Style with Sun-Blocking Functionality
Awnings have evolved to suit a full range of modern, traditional and architectural styles. Tiptop awnings are the ultimate eco-friendly addition to your home. Our awnings are designed and manufactured to suit the Melbourne climate in a wide selection of fabrics and transparency levels.
The wide array of options available ensure no matter your budget or style, Tiptop has an awning that will externally shade your windows and prevent the sun's penetrative rays from heating your home. From sleek zipscreen systems to classic folding arm designs, every awning is crafted in our Clayton factory to the highest standards.
External awnings are one of the most energy-efficient window treatments available, blocking heat before it reaches the glass. This can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 15°C and slash your cooling bills by up to 60% — making them both a stylish and practical investment for any Melbourne property.
Sun Protection Without Compromising the View
External awnings and zip screens provide the highest level of sun protection and shade, as they protect the glass from the sun's rays before it enters your home. With an array of transparency levels available, you can opt for 95% UV blockout without compromising your visibility.
Perfect for west-facing windows with garden, pool or beach views, you can now enjoy your view all year round without compromising the thermal properties of your home. External awnings are available using spring-loaded manual operation or as a fully retractable system so you can have full control over the sun entering your space and keep your electrical bills down.
External Awnings • UV Protection
Available in a Range of Architectural Solutions
Zipscreen awnings from Tiptop Blinds offer a stylish and functional solution for modern homes, providing an architectural approach to blocking out the harsh Melbourne sun. Designed with a cassette housing and two side channels, these vertical awnings glide effortlessly up and down, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your home while protecting against sun and heat, especially on north and west-facing windows.
Available in contemporary colour options, zipscreen awnings can be customised and powder-coated to match your exterior facade. The transparent mesh fabric allows natural light to filter through without compromising views, maintaining a bright, airy feel. Whether manual or motorised, these awnings offer convenience and sophistication.
Equipped with the latest smart technology, your zipscreen awnings can be synced with your smart devices to automatically adjust throughout the day, protecting your space and furniture from UV damage while elevating the look of your home.

Window Awnings
Tiptop Blinds offers a comprehensive range of traditional window awnings, designed to suit every type of home. Our cost-effective auto awnings are manually operated and ideal for ground floor windows, providing excellent sun and heat protection at an affordable price.
For first-floor or hard-to-reach windows, our fixed-guide awnings can be motorised for ease or operated with a cable. The straight drop awnings offer a unique vertical retraction and are secured with a carabiner or dog clip, providing a simple and sturdy solution for sun protection.
For a modern twist, our wire guided awnings feature a stainless steel wire system, offering smooth operation and a contemporary look. Choose from thousands of fabrics, from traditional black & white or textured solid colours to vintage stripes and patterns, and a wide range of powder-coated hardware colours to match your home's aesthetic perfectly.
Folding Arm Awning • Outdoor Entertaining
Folding Arm Awnings
Folding arm awnings are the ideal solution for outdoor spaces such as patios, balconies and terraces that require shade and protection from the elements. Folding arm awnings fully retract when not in use, allowing full view and natural light when not requiring shade.
Whether manual or motorised, folding arm awnings extend horizontally using arms that fold back, providing adjustable shade to cover the necessary area. You can operate your folding arm awning using a remote control, smart device or hand crank if manual.
There are two types — standard and cassette. Standard awnings have an exposed mechanism and a straight edge or scalloped valance. Cassette awnings feature a protective casing that fully encases and covers the awning's mechanism, fabric and arms, making it a more sleek, modern option with added durability. At Tiptop Blinds we offer a wide range of UV-resistant and weather-resistant acrylic fabrics to suit your outdoor aesthetic.
