We highly recommend Soltex if you’re looking for high-quality awnings as well as a great quality of service from installation to service and repairs.

They sell a wide range of merchandise and are a perfect choice if you’re building or renovating your home.

You can choose from their folding arm awnings, conservatory and patio awnings, pivot arm awnings, and skylight awnings. They also sell other products such as blinds, shutters, and retractable roof systems.

If you’re looking to have custom designs, they can work closely with you, your architect, interior designer, or engineer to ensure that you achieve the vision you have for your home. 

Their products and services do come at a premium, but we think they’re worth it. This is because their installation services come with a five-year workmanship warranty and they can even automate your awnings and blinds.

Fortunately, they do offer interest-free financing options and can even work with your insurance company should your awning or blinds be damaged by weather or other unpredictable events. 

Because your awning is expected to last a few years, it’s important that you maintain a regular cleaning schedule. Soltex does offer cleaning services, although this will come at a separate cost.

If you’re hesitant about the quality of their products, they have a mobile showroom and can personally visit your home to present you with the samples in person.

Kenlow is a small business run by owners who are passionate about selling and installing good-quality awnings and blinds.

Despite being a fairly small business, they can work on both residential and commercial projects, although you will have to let them know of the scale of your project.

However, their small size does mean that they’re only open four days a week from Tuesday to Friday, but they will happily accommodate your schedule if you’re not available on these days.

They also provide free on-site quotes to get a more accurate estimate of your possible expenses. You won’t have to worry about being pressured to purchase services from them either, as the quotes are obligation-free.

Other than residential and commercial blinds and awnings, they also have caravan awnings and annexes as well as heavy-duty outdoor umbrellas for your garden or for outdoor events.

They also offer industrial items such as tarpaulin and canvas covers, truck and utility canopies, and tool bags.

Most clients have mentioned that they received a great quality of service from the crew who helped them choose the right size and item.

However, a few did complain that the awnings they were recommended were not a suitable fit for their property. With this in mind, we encourage you to ask questions about the awning’s durability and warranties.

If you’re looking for a combination of awnings, blinds, shutters, and screens, you should consider Action Awnings. They offer different types of each, and we’re positive that you can find something that will easily suit your home.

This makes them a great option if you’re building a new home or renovating it to give you better shade from the hot Australian sun. 

Action Awnings stay true to their name with their quick turnaround time, although this can depend on the size of your project and whether they have the materials readily available. 

They’re also highly responsive when it comes to enquiries, so don’t be afraid to ask them questions if you’re still in the process of looking for the right awning supplier for you.

Furthermore, they also offer financing options, so we encourage you to ask about this should you need it.

Customers also noted that their installation crew were friendly, easy to work with, and efficient in going about their work.

However, there were complaints about some faulty products and installations. While this should be covered by warranties, one customer noted that they received poor service without proper repairs or replacements done on their home.

This is an isolated incident and does not reflect the general service they offer. But for good measure, it’s best to test the functionality of your awnings right after they’ve been installed and enquire about the warranties before purchase.

All About Shade aims to give you with all the shading solutions for your home or commercial space. They offer and install awnings, blinds, shutters, and mesh.

Unfortunately, they don’t have a physical location, which would’ve been helpful for you to see samples of the material or products you plan to purchase. 

However, they do service multiple suburbs including—but not limited to—Perth Metro, Bunbury, Busselton, Byford, Cannington, Cockburn, Fremantle, Joondalup, and southwest and regional areas.

They have a great and useful website for you to look at photos of their completed projects and installations as well as the colour samples for the mesh. 

They work with limited brands for their mesh and blinds, namely Visiontex, Ziptrak, and eZIP, so if you have a brand preference, it may be best to look elsewhere.

If you’re still unsure about the quality of their products, you can request a quote online or book a free measure to get a more accurate cost estimate.

Because they work with limited brands, it’s possible that they charge higher than if you were to work with other suppliers who have different brands in their inventory. Thus, we encourage you to look around before deciding on a supplier.

A few customers also claimed that parts of their blinds or awnings were damaged after installation, but this shouldn’t be a problem if a warranty covers your purchase.

ABC Blinds & Awnings is where you should go if you’re looking for variety as you look for the right awnings or blinds for your home.

Besides variety, another advantage they offer is the convenience of multiple locations around Western Australia, specifically in Cannington, Wangara, Osborne Park, Mandurah, and Rockingham. You can visit the one closest to you.

However, we’ve heard multiple complaints about the customer service in their stores, especially if you need assistance and have some enquiries you’d like to raise.

Additionally, some customers noted that the staff isn’t responsive in picking up calls either. This applies to both prospective customers who have questions and customers who are following up on their orders and installations.

This poor service is possibly caused by the number of orders they receive, especially considering the variety of products they offer and their wide price range. They also offer interest-free payments if you’re in need of financing options.

To avoid the chances of receiving poor service, we encourage you to make use of their website and book a specific day and time for an obligation-free measurement and quote.

This way, you’ll have a better opportunity to talk to the crew taking the measurements on your property and ask for their recommendations.
