Genuine Local Reviews
Peninsula curtains and blinds are very professional. We originally used them 14 yrs ago and again recently. They bent over backwards to accommodate us with a limited time frame.
Troy worked tirelessly getting the house ready and his efforts were really appreciated.
I recently had the need to replace the curtains and blinds in my home, after several inquiries of who to go with, I decided on Peninsula Curtains & Blinds. The service was first class and the quality of the curtains and blinds is absolutely amazing. I would have no hesitation to recommend them to anyone at any time.
We are slowly renovating 1 room at a time and peninsula curtains have been a great help! Their fabric collection was huge and helped my partner visualise the products. The decorator was on time which was great and the installation process was easy to book in. We love our finished rooms and will go back to finish off our house.
Folding Arm Awnings FAQ
What space is needed to install a folding arm awning?
Installation is flexible, but you’ll need a sturdy wall or roofline with enough clearance—typically 2–3 metres wide and space for the arms to extend (up to 4 metres out). Our team at Peninsula Curtains & Blinds offers free in-home consultations to measure your space and ensure a perfect fit.
Will my folding arm awning get damaged in the wind?
Not if cared for properly! Our folding arm awnings feature strong, powder-coated aluminium frames and wind resistant fabrics chosen by Peninsula Curtains & Blinds to withstand coastal gusts. While they’re built for durability, retracting them in severe winds ensures they last for years, backed by our expert advice and warranty.
Can you leave a retractable awning out in rain or wind?
Our folding arm awnings are built tough, designed to protect from light rain and moderate breeze; however we recommend retracting them during heavy rain or strong winds to avoid strain. Designed to handle winds up to 48kph, they’re durable—but for peace of mind in Peninsula’s wilder weather, a quick retraction keeps them in top condition.
Do folding arm awnings provide shade?
Yes, folding arm awnings are perfect for creating generous shade over your patio or deck. Extending out from your home, they block harsh sunlight while keeping your outdoor space cool and comfortable—ideal for enjoying Peninsula summers. At Peninsula Curtains & Blinds, we customise them with UV-resistant fabrics to suit your needs.
