Make the most of your outdoor space with stylish, practical shade and shelter solutions from A & T Glass Taupō.

Outdoor living is an important part of the Kiwi lifestyle, and having a comfortable, sheltered area can make all the difference to how you enjoy your home. Whether you’re creating an outdoor entertaining space, adding shade to your deck or making your patio more usable throughout the seasons, the right shelter can transform your outdoor area.

A & T Glass offers a range of retractable awnings and fixed pergolas to suit different homes, lifestyles and outdoor spaces. Retractable awnings provide flexible shade when you need it, while fixed pergolas offer a more permanent shelter solution.

Our local team helps homeowners across Taupō, Kinloch and surrounding areas explore outdoor living options that complement their properties and make spending time outside more enjoyable.

Retractable folding arm awnings are a stylish and practical way to add shade and shelter to your deck, patio or outdoor entertaining area. Extend your awning when you need protection from the sun, then retract it when you want to enjoy the open sky.

A & T Glass Taupō supplies the HomePlus retractable awning range, featuring quality European components and UV-resistant fabrics designed for New Zealand conditions.

Choose from traditional folding arm awnings or modern cassette-style systems that enclose the fabric and mechanisms when retracted, providing additional protection from the elements.

Awning Styles, Fabrics & Installation Options

HomePlus offers a selection of retractable awning systems to suit different outdoor spaces, architectural styles and budgets.

With over 40 fabric colours and patterns available, you can choose a finish that complements your home while providing shade and UV protection. Selected systems offer manual or motorised operation, remote controls and optional wind sensors for added convenience.

Wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted installation options are available on suitable systems, depending on your property’s structure and the awning selected.
