Wire Guide Awnings Designed for the Queensland Climate

Wire Guide Blind (also known as Wire Guide Awnings) are a neat and contemporary option offering protection and circulation of air where side channels are not feasible or required.

The wire guide operates on 316 marine grade stainless steel cables utilizing compression springs to tension the wire to be able to move the blind to your desire position smoothly and steadily providing a perfect shade solution. These Townsville Outdoor Blinds are a user-friendly & practical solution to verandas, decks, patios and windows.

Wire guided awnings are easy to operate and control

The wire guide material is rolled around a top roller, connected to a bar at the bottom by two stainless steel wire guides on either side. This enables the material to move up and down easily along the wires and is strong enough to stay in position, even in a breeze, so you can protect your privacy and have complete control over the amount of light and heat entering your space.

The blind can be installed between posts, on the front of posts, without posts and over windows and features a universal bracket to fix the base of the wire guide to the floor and can be locked in the down position using stainless steel dog clips. All componentry is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Crank handle operation

The awnings are operated via a crank handle, this is an efficient and cost-effective option. The crank handle is also removable so no need for it to hang when not in use. Check out our full range of wire guide awnings Townsville-wide.

Motorised operation

For the ultimate ease and convenience, your wire guided awnings can be fully motorised. This means awnings of any height and on any level of your property can be operated at the touch of a button. You can even future proof your home by operating your motorised awnings with an optional sun and wind sensor device and operate the blind from your smartphone or tablet via a smart home app.

Frequently asked questions about our Wire Guide Awnings Townsville

What you need to know about Ede’s products and services.

What are wire guide blinds?

Wire guides are an innovative self-aligning shade system that ensures maximum safety and stability while providing ample movement for blinds and awnings. This ingenious solution offers the perfect balance between reliability, usability, and convenience all in one! They are a great choice for customers who desire attractive window dressings but also require the flexibility of being able to easily remove them when they’re not using them. Installing wire guides ensures that your blinds or awnings will always remain securely in place while still allowing you to adjust them if needed. This system is self-aligning, meaning it can be relied on to maintain alignment even with frequent use.

What are the benefits of wire guide awnings?

Wire Guide Awnings provide many practical benefits for homeowners. Not only can installing them reduce the amount of heat entering a home, thus cutting household bills, but they can also help to prevent furniture and carpets from fading due to overexposure to direct sunlight. In addition, their design allows windows to stay open even in wet weather, which means that natural ventilation is still possible even in rainy conditions. Finally, they offer an affordable way to increase privacy in any home without obstructing the view outwards.

How do I care for my wire guide awnings?

Wire guide awnings can provide excellent shade, but need to be properly taken care of. Regularly cleaning the awning is the best way to keep it in optimal condition. This means removing any debris, such as leaves and sticks that have lodged themselves in the awning’s channels or guides. Additionally, check for any signs of pests, such as birds nesting or insects using the awning as an entryway into your home. Finally, inspect the powder coating on the wire guides regularly for any signs of wear and tear, such as scratches or fading – if needed, carry out repairs as soon as possible and touch up with paint where necessary. With careful maintenance you can enjoy summer days in the shade for many years to come!
