DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE

Stop The Heat Overhead

A Sundream awning is a large motorised sunshade that mounts overhead. Fit it above a glass roof, pergola or conservatory, over any roof or structure that lets too much sun and heat through, or as a freestanding shade on its own posts. It stops the sun and heat before they get in, so the space below stays cooler and usable all year.

It runs on sturdy aluminium guide rails for smooth, quiet, low-maintenance movement. The front bar is driven by tie rods and high-strength resin pulleys so it never jams, and an internal roller with heavy-duty springs keeps the fabric tensioned as it extends and retracts.

THE RANGE

Six Sundream Models

  • Projection up to 6.5m
  • Up to 39m², or 120m² coupled

  • Projection up to 6.5m
  • Up to 36m²
  • Its own posts and rails

SLIMLINE

Compact

A discreet, slimline version for smaller spaces. Slim guide rails keep it neat where a full-size unit would be too much.

  • Projection up to 5m
  • Up to 20m²
  • Slim 52 x 32mm rails

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Sundream awning?

It is a large motorised sunshade that mounts overhead — above a glass roof, pergola or conservatory, over a roof that lets too much heat through, or freestanding on its own posts. It blocks the sun and heat before they get in, so the space below stays cooler.

Because it is large and made to measure, the price depends on size, number of units, fabric and colour. Most projects sit in the $10,000 to $20,000+ range. A free consultation gives you an exact, fixed quote.

A single unit spans 1.4m to 6.5m wide with up to 6.5m projection (up to 39m²). Coupled units reach up to 24m wide and 120m².

The fabric is water resistant and handles sun and light rain. For a fully enclosed, all-weather space, pair it with outdoor blinds down the sides.

Sundream is motorised, with remote control. You can adjust it without stepping outside.
