Awning types we fit
Four awning types cover most Pretoria homes, and all match a carport in material and colour so the property reads as one design. A window awning shades and cools the room behind north- and west-facing glass; a door awning keeps the entrance shaded and dry; an IBR or flat-sheet awning extends the same steel roof used on the carport over a walkway or serving hatch; and a patio awning roofs an outdoor living area.
| Awning | Covers | Price band |
|---|---|---|
| Window awning | North/west-facing windows | R1,200 – R4,500 |
| Door awning | Entrances, back doors | R1,500 – R5,000 |
| Patio awning (steel/IBR) | Outdoor living areas | R4,500 – R18,000 |
Why awnings matter in Pretoria
Pretoria's afternoon sun comes in low, hard and hot on the western side of the house, heating rooms and fading floors and furniture faster than the milder Highveld cities to the south. A fixed awning over the glass cuts that heat before it reaches the window, which does far more for a room's temperature than blinds hung inside. Fitted in the same steel or aluminium as the carport and colour-matched to the roof, it also finishes the exterior. For a full outdoor room rather than a window shade, see patios and pergolas.
Awnings with a carport project
Awnings are usually fitted alongside a carport, which is why the two share a roofline and a colour. Adding the window and door awnings while the crew and the steel are already on site keeps the cost down. Price the combination on the carport prices in Pretoria page or start with a carport design that carries the roofline across.
Common questions
How much are awnings in Pretoria?
Awnings in Pretoria start at about R1,200 for a window awning, R1,500 for a door awning and R4,500–R18,000 for a patio awning, supplied and installed in steel or aluminium matched to the carport roofline.
Do awnings help with Pretoria's heat?
Yes. A fixed awning over north- and west-facing glass blocks Pretoria's low, hard afternoon sun before it reaches the window, which cuts room heat more effectively than internal blinds and protects floors and furniture from fading.
Can awnings match my carport?
Yes. KB Carports fits awnings in the same steel or aluminium and the same colour as the carport, so the carport, window awnings and any patio awning read as one design across the property.
