Enhance your lifestyle with the beautiful Timeless Collection and Contemporary Series from the LUXAFLEX® Window
Fashions range.
For over 50 years, LUXAFLEX® Window Fashions has furnished homes with quality products that provide convenience,
living comfort, light control, privacy and style.
LUXAFLEX® Window Fashions provide high quality exterior shading solutions that effectively control heat and light
by shading your windows. LUXAFLEX® Window Fashions are custom made and simple for you and your family to use
and operate.
Experience the elegant style and diversity of LUXAFLEX® Window Fashions Outside Living Collection today.
Light Control
Control of heat and glare can be achieved simply and easily with the installation of external
LUXAFLEX® Awnings and Sunscreens, not only over windows, but over courtyards and
balconies.
Environment
Homes with efficient external LUXAFLEX® Window Fashions require much less cooling and
heating internally, improving your level of comfort, inside and out. LUXAFLEX® Awnings will
deflect between about 75% and 85% of the sun’s heat and light to help keep your home cool
in summer and reduce cooling costs1. By reducing heat from entering your home in summer,
you reduce the need for air-conditioning, improving your carbon footprint.
Privacy
Having enough privacy is an important feature that adds to the safety and security of your
home. Improved privacy can be achieved with the addition of a LUXAFLEX® Awning or
Sunscreen to cover a window or enclose a verandah or balcony.
Style
With its eye-catching textured fabrics, from dramatic to serene, external LUXAFLEX® Window
Fashions offer you a simple way to enhance your home’s natural outdoor landscape with a
vibrant array of options, styles, trims, colours, textures and fabric that sets the standard
in design.
Convenience
Many of our awnings and sunscreens can be motorised providing a stylish alternative with
the convenience of full home automation. Sun sensors ensure the awning is extended to
shade your windows to provide optimal thermal efficiency in your home.

Featured Fabric: Sable, Panorama
Light Control
Providing you with excellent light and sun control, LUXAFLEX® Awnings and Sunscreens control the level of light entering
your home at different times of the day. Sun sensors on a motorised awning or sunscreen will extend your awning when
the sun comes out and retract it in windy conditions to improve the longevity and efficiency of your Window Fashions,
even when you’re not home to keep your home cool.
LUXAFLEX® Awnings and Sunscreens are designed to shade your home from glare, heat and UV rays which can fade paint
finishes and furnishings.
Research indicates that exterior shadings are seasonally more effective for sun shading, glare protection and daylight control
than internal blinds1. Whether you want to protect a small patio, courtyard, window or door, LUXAFLEX® Window Fashions
provide you with an extensive range of both contemporary and stylish shading solutions to suit most exterior environments
whilst reducing your home’s internal temperature.
Light control varies by the material selected. Canvas in darker colours will make the room inside darker than a lighter colour.
Solaire allows a light glow through the fabric, while Panorama Screen Fabric reduces glare but lets in light and retains view
through the Fabric.

Environment
LUXAFLEX® Awnings and Sunscreens assist in controlling your home’s internal temperature resulting in reduced heating
and cooling requirements.
When it comes to improving your level of comfort in summer, turning up air-conditioning to over compensate for solar
heat entry is not the most efficient solution. External solar shading through external awnings and sunscreens is the
most effective source of passive cooling, or cooling that requires no electricity. Stopping the heat of the sun from
entering your home is obviously better than letting it in and then cooling your home down afterwards. The savings that
result not only benefit you, but also the environment.
Your health and well being are affected by your access to natural light, ventilation, colour, access to views, connection to
nature and personal control over environmental conditions. By installing a LUXAFLEX® Awning or Sunscreen you are creating
a positive impact on you and your family’s health and well being, as well as reducing your impact on the environment.

Privacy
Maintaining privacy is an important consideration for many homeowners especially in areas where space is minimal.
LUXAFLEX® Awnings and Sunscreens can be used for both visual protection and privacy depending on the awning and
fabric you select, whilst also creating a secluded haven for you and your family to enjoy.
LUXAFLEX® Awnings and Sunscreens are safe and easy to use, assisting you to restore your levels of privacy with the
simple turn of a switch, handle or remote control. By installing an external window fashion you also reduce the need
to install interior window fashions in rooms such as bathrooms and bedrooms where privacy is essential.
LUXAFLEX® Awnings and Sunscreens include a vast range of styles to suit many different home styles and designs.
