Traditional Awnings

Traditional Awnings optimise sun protection and privacy

Versatile and stylish, Fairfield Awnings make an excellent choice for ground-floor windows. Their close-fitting design optimises the benefits of both privacy and sun protection for you and your valuable carpets, curtains and furniture. They are highly functional with shade adjustment, and can be rolled neatly into their head box when the sun goes down.

For extra peace of mind, our range of Traditional Awnings come with a 10-year fabric warranty and a five-year paint and component warranty.

Pivot Arm Awnings
Affordable Pivot Arm Awnings are practical and functional. They include crank operation, 5-sided tube and spring-loaded pivot arms as standard. Or you can enhance their performance with options such as internal cord-lock, motorisation and sun or wind sensors, or both. Talk to one of our experts today to explore the full range of options open to you with Pivot Arm Awnings.

Auto-Lock Awnings
These outdoor awnings are manually adjusted by hand or by pull stick. There are plenty of optional extras on offer with Auto-Lock Awnings. These include stainless steel, self-locking arms and guide rails ideal for coastal locations, as well as a head box to enhance the aesthetics of this highly functional awning.

 

Your questions. Answered!

What are traditional awnings best for?

 

Classic fixed-guide and auto-rollup awnings are a proven, economical way to shade windows and keep rooms cooler in the Queensland sun.

Do awnings really lower energy costs?

 

Yes most of our products reduce heat transfer in summer and insulate in winter, lowering energy costs and emissions.

What operation options are there for traditional awnings?

 

Cord and reel, crank, auto-rollup or motorised, we’ll recommend what suits each window.

How do I maintain them?

 

Occasional gentle cleaning keeps fabric and hardware in top shape; we’ll provide care guidance for your fabric.

Features

Classic look: The timeless style suits Queenslanders, heritage homes and character homes as well as modern builds.

Adjustable angle: The arms pivot outward, so you can set the awning to block the sun as it moves through the day.

Views and airflow: The awning sits away from the window instead of flat against it, so you keep your outlook and a breeze comes through.

Cooler rooms: It stops heat before it reaches the glass, which keeps rooms cooler and can cut air conditioning costs.

Less fading: It filters harsh UV that fades floors, furniture and curtains.

Retractable: Raise it to let winter sun in, or lower it for summer shade.

An excellent outdoor awning choice, our Traditional Awning options include:

Pivot Arm Awning

Auto-Lock Awning

I’ve had two seperate installs with Factory Direct and have found them on both occasions to be reliable, friendly and efficient. I had I faulty roller Shutter blind and the company fixed it quickly and without any issues. I have no concerns in recommending Factory Direct because they were competitive in price, a local business and easy to deal with.

Second time using Factory Direct Blinds and Shutters. I was even more impressed the second time when I ordered security windows screens and doors, zip blinds and internal and external shutters. From sales (love Wendy) to measuring and installation, this is a team who works together, communicates well and works efficiently. The workmanship of our installer, Anthony, is second to none. I’ve recommended to family and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Very pleased with the result. Thank you team!

So, so happy with the plantation shutters on all windows. Already had them on the sliding doors, so this completes the overall look. Good comms at all times from the company. Kyle was very polite, friendly and professional with the installation. Plasterer Brad (working on the ceiling at the time) was so impressed with the shutters he even asked for the company details!

I would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Factory Direct Morningside, particularly Anthony, who handled the installation of shutters in each room of our home. We initially had only our living room done, but after seeing the quality of the work, we were so impressed that we decided to proceed with the rest of the house. The result has made our home look more modern and refreshed.

We recently had a motorised zip screen installed for our double garage by Factory Direct Shutters, Awnings & Blinds, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Scott provided outstanding customer service throughout the sales process—knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful in guiding us to the right solution. Phil handled the installation with precision and professionalism, delivering a high-quality finish that exceeded our expectations. The product itself is excellent—well-built, smooth operation, and clearly designed to last. It’s great knowing it’s a QLD factory-built product with fast delivery and backed by a superior warranty for peace of mind. Overall, fantastic value for investment. Highly recommend this team if you’re looking for quality, reliability, and top-notch service.
