Following the overwhelming popularity of Australian-designed LUXAFLEX® Evo Awnings, the extensive awning range has been updated with innovative enhancements that will continue to offer the latest in design, style and functionality to modern homes.
Designed and engineered in Australia in 2011, Evo Awnings have been made specifically for local weather conditions, housing styles and to have an edge over competitor products. From windy coastal regions to enclosing an outdoor living space, these awnings were designed with clever solutions to overcome many of the limitations of other systems currently available.
The newly enhanced designer Evo Awnings Range is now available in five style choices, Evo STC, Evo Channel, Evo Cable, Evo Drop and Evo Pivot, providing homeowners with different guiding and motorisation options.
All style options in the Evo Awnings Range can now span five metres wide1 (spring and internal winch 3.5 metres only) and are available in two designer headbox options, closed or open, both offering increased functionality and a modern look. For those looking for a cost effective alternative, the entire range is also available in an open roller option.
All five systems can now be further customised, with each style option offering unique features and benefits to suit different requirements:
Evo STC (Side Tension Channel)
- Premium and versatile straight drop option
