What a fantastic experience. The new louvre awning has made such a difference to our outdoor space and has honestly exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail during the installation was excellent, and the whole team was friendly, respectful, and easy to deal with. It looks like it was always meant to be part of the house. Thank you for a job well done!

Pricing
What it costs, and why we quote.
There’s no fixed price list for custom outdoor structures: the cost depends on the type of cover, the size and span, the finish, and whether it’s motorised. What we can give you is honest guidance. That means indicative per-square-metre rates, the factors that move the number, and an instant estimate to get you in the right range.
Then we make it exact. A free on-site visit gives us the measurements and access details to issue a fixed, written quote within 48 hours, with no obligation and no surprises on the day.

What moves the price
Size & span
Bigger areas and wider unsupported spans need more material and engineering.
Type of cover
An adjustable louvre roof costs more than a fixed awning of the same size.
Finish & colour
Standard powder-coat colours are included; special or dual colours add a little.
Motorisation
Automated louvres, rain sensors and remotes add to a manual system.
Site & access
Fixing surface, height and how easily we can get to the area all play a part.
Add-ons
Lighting, side screens, blinds or gutters are quoted as optional extras.
Engineered for the coast
Built for salt, sun and the south-easter.
The Cape coast is hard on outdoor structures. We build for it from the start: marine-grade aluminium with no ferrous metal, baked-enamel and powder-coat finishes rated for Atlantic salt air, and stainless fasteners throughout.
Structures are sized for Cape Doctor wind loads, and the motors on our louvre roofs sit in sealed IP65 housings. It's coastal-grade construction across the whole range, built once and built right.

We were looking for a modern, low-maintenance patio cover that suited our home in Stellenbosch, and this was exactly what we wanted. The finish is beautiful, the installation was neat, and communication throughout the project was excellent. It’s given us a space we can enjoy all year round. We would definitely use Aluminium Awnings again.
Aluminium Awnings Cape Town enclosed our Constantia patio with a manual louvre roof, full white, with aluminium doors and windows all round, and it's honestly become our favourite part of the house. We use it right through winter now. The rain and the wind don't get in, and it's so easy to wind the louvres open when the sun comes out. Neat, tidy install with a friendly team, and the white finish looks really clean against the house. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend.
Ryan and his team were awesome and really went the extra mile to make our awning perfect! Can definitely recommend them!
Very happy with the replacement of our awning after it got damaged in the May storm. More sturdy and stronger
We recently had a louvre awning installed by Aluminium Awnings at our home in Durbanville, and we’re so pleased with the result. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the finished product has completely transformed our outdoor space. The team was professional, arrived on time, and kept us informed throughout the installation. We looked at a few different companies before deciding, and we’re really glad we chose Aluminium Awnings. If you’re considering louvre awnings in Cape Town, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Aluminium Awnings is so professional from start to finish. They make the process easy and understandable from day 1. The quality of their work is outstanding, we are so happy! I highly recommend them!
Absolutely thrilled with our new louvre awning from Aluminium Awnings. From start to finish, the service was professional, the installation was neat, and the finished product looks incredible. We’re based in Blouberg, so we wanted something that would work well with the coastal conditions and strong winds, while still giving us control over the sunlight and shade. The louvre awning has completely transformed the outside area and the quality of the aluminium structure and finish is excellent. Would definitely recommend Aluminium Awnings to anyone in Blouberg or Cape Town looking for a quality louvre awning. Very happy with the end result!
Fast Reliable Great Service!
