Features of Aurora Folding Arm Awnings - Merimbula
Discover the standout features of our products, including premium materials, innovative designs, and advanced functionality. Each feature is carefully selected to ensure exceptional quality, style, and performance in every detail.
Superior Stainless Steel 8-Link Arm Chain
Unique design for enhanced strength and durability, ensuring peace of mind with every use. Unique 8-link stainless steel arm chains provide superior arm strength, giving the awning an edge over our competitors, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh weather conditions. Many inferior folding arm awnings use weak internal tapes for their folding arms or materials that will wear down after just 1-2 years. Not here at Aurora! We only provide the best products available on the market.
Weather-Resistant Fabrics
Choose from a range of high-performance outdoor acrylic fabrics, designed to withstand the Australian sun and offer optimal shade and sun protection. Our main suppliers include; Ricky Richards Docril, HVG Sattler, Dickson, Hunter Douglas and Somerton Acrylics. Aurora can also source a number of external fabrics from other Australian manufacturers. Speak to the team for more information.
Made Locally
Here at Aurora, we only partner with Australian-owned and manufactured awning experts. Not only is the end product manufactured locally, but all the raw materials are also milled right here in Australia. This really delivers on our sustainable promise and core value, as no materials are shipped overseas to make inferior products to then be imported to be ‘assembled’ here. When we say “made locally”, we mean it.

What Our Customers Say
Jen Simmo
We had a few quotes for some new curtains but in the end went with Aurora. They were priced a little more than some others, but still competitive. Their attention to detail and customer service was exceptional. I found them reliable. You can tell they're super passionate about their products and their professionalism was a class above from the first contact to the installation day. We were particularly impressed with their transparency and commitment to sustainable products and services. I'd happily recommend to all my friends and family here in Canberra.
Hannah and Allan
Everything from start to finish was incredibly professional with Joel. We ordered some Verosol blinds, and after getting 3 quotes, we went with Aurora because they seemed to put the most attention to detail on the little things. Turn around was quick and communication was great. Would recommend.

We shopped around for quotes before settling with Aurora because we love their personalised approach and they seem to know what they're doing. And the result was fantastic! I love the blinds they installed.
Rupeshni Narayan
We recently got our outdoor blinds done. Point of contact was Joel and he was so good with all the information and so prompt with installations. Everything was delivered as per our expectations. We are very happy with the excellent outcomes delivered by Aurora Design & Windows Furnishings.
Fran
I recently contacted Aurora Window Furnishings for a quote on 4 outdoor window shutters and was blown away by the excellent price and exceptional customer service. Renzo, Joel, and Ryan were extremely friendly, helpful, and trustworthy.
I accepted the quote within the hour and paid upfront. To my surprise, the shutters were ready within a week, and the installation was completed the following week. The team explained how to use the remote-controlled shutters, and I'm thrilled with the result.
I highly recommend Aurora for all your window dressing needs. Their professionalism, efficiency, and quality products have earned them a loyal customer in me. Thanks again, Renzo, Joel, and Ryan, for a fantastic job!
David
I was fortunate to discover Aurora during a quick Google search, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! I needed a couple of plastic pieces to repair my vertical blinds, and Joel and Renzo were incredibly efficient in sourcing exactly what I needed.
What truly impressed me was Joel's generosity in offering to drop off the parts at my home. However, I’m really glad I decided to visit the showroom at Aurora Designs. The selection and expertise on display are fantastic! If you’re in need of blinds or curtains, I highly recommend checking them out. Their customer service is top-notch!

Great new awning skin replacement.
Friendly installation crew …

We contacted three other companies first — all slow, generic, and overpriced. Aurora replied same day, turned up on time, and nailed the look.
Jack Vitale
Joel at Aurora was brilliant. We had another company on Wollongong St quote us too but Aurora were more affordable and so much quicker. The other company seemed too interested in making the sale, as opposed to helping us choose the right solution for our home. Our sheer curtains look absolutely stunning high-end finish without the high-end price tag.
Mike Kell
Our new awnings are perfect and just in time for Spring they’ve totally transformed our backyard. Joel was great to work with, the install was smooth, and the price was much better than other quotes we got. Highly recommend Aurora Windows Furnishings.
Donald Valadez
Big thanks to Joel and the team for our new Honeycomb blinds. They look sleek, were installed quickly, and cost far less than we expected. A locally product with fantastic service!
Lana Bailey
We couldn’t be happier with our curtains from Aurora. I jumped on their sale promo which was advertising Canberra's best curtains . I think they're right! They uality is second to none from the other showrooms I saw, and they were fast, affordable and the service second to none. Joel’s attention to detail is brilliant, the fabric quality is amazing, and the price was fair. Love supporting a Canberra business too.
James Walker
After comparing with BASC and Watsons (who were the exact same product for the same price), Aurora was the obvious choice. Joel’s team was faster, friendlier, and around 30% cheaper. Our new plantation shutters are beautiful excellent quality and we loved our warranty certiciate provided which shows the unlimited 30 year warranty. Very happy to support this small family business.
Scott Williams
Joel is fantastic to deal with. I got the sense he is a very experienced and passionate professional who knows his stuff. We got awnings installed on our patio and they’re amazing quality. The install was fast, the service was professional, and we saved a lot compared to other places. Highly recommended.
Kenneth Ibarra
Absolutely love our new Zipscreen blinds. Joel made the whole process simple, the team were friendly and efficient, and the price was unbeatable. Locally made in Canberra was a huge plus for me and they only had to measure once, whereas two other companies said they had to have a "Check measure" which was inconvenient to me and my busy schedule.
Barbara Martinez
We had another local company out for a quote, one that promotes a price beat guarantee and over 50 years in Canberr. Joel and Aurora smashed them on price and service. Ended up getting curtains and sheers installed and spending nearly $30,000 30% cheaper, much quicker turnaround, and the quality is superb.
Randall Williams
Joel and the team did our new indoor blinds and they look incredible. Made in Canberra, the quality is excellent and the price was much lower than the other quotes we got. Couldn’t be happier!
Abigail Caffyn
My partner and I bought a new townhouse at Solai Denman Prospect. The developer sent blind and curtain packages from another company that seemed way over priced. Joel and his team were able to beat that price by over 30%, they were installed on the same day we settled and they loom amazing - the quality is outstanding. I'll be sure to tell the development company and the real estate agency who tried to force us to use the other company - but they couldn't back it up with service, not even replying to my calls or emails.
Tom McGuinness
Amazing service and quality
Joel was unreal to work with! Took so much time out of his day to help me make the correct decisions and give me a thorough explanation and understanding of what they would look like before we went ahead
The blinds and curtains look outstanding!! And for the quality of them I can’t believe the price difference between them and others
So easy to work with. Quick, efficient and top quality
For any future needs, and giving referrals I will 100% be using them again.
Fiona Copp
Outstanding Service and Quality!
I had an excellent experience with this blind company from start to finish. Their customer service was truly first-class—friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.
The quality of the blinds is exceptional. Installation was smooth and efficient, with great attention to detail.
I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking for quality blinds and top-notch service, this is the company to go with!
