At Awnings Plus, we pride ourselves not just on delivering quality awnings, but also on providing tailored, expert service – especially when it comes to awning fabric replacement. Our recent project in Takapuna, Auckland showcases how even a routine canvas refresh can become a technical challenge requiring real experience and precision.
The Project at a Glance
📍 Location: Takapuna, Auckland
📐 Size: 5.0 x 3.0 metres
⚙️ Operation: Motorised
🎨 Fabric: New Planosol fabric
🕒 Timeframe: From quote to install in 2 weeks (typically completed within 1 week)
The original awning fabric had lasted around 10 years – a testament to the durability of high-quality materials. However, it had reached the end of its lifespan and was showing signs of wear.
Site Visit & Accurate Awning Fabric Replacement Quoting: Why It’s Essential
Before every awning canvas replacement, we conduct a site visit to take precise measurements. In this case, accuracy was especially critical- not just for the fabric dimensions but also for the thickness of the roller tube and front bar channels. This ensures a perfect fit and seamless operation.
Plus, meeting in person allowed the client to view real fabric samples, not just photos on a screen – an important step in choosing the right colour and texture.
The Challenge: Re-Setting the Motor Memory
Replacing the canvas on a motorised awning isn’t as simple as swapping out the fabric. After installation, the motor memory – which controls the limits for extending and retracting the awning – needed to be completely reset.
Not all companies have the expertise or tools to handle this step, but at Awnings Plus, it’s part of the service. Our team reprogrammed the limits to ensure smooth, reliable operation moving forward.
The Result: A Refreshed, Reliable Awning
The new Planosol fabric not only revitalised the look of the home’s outdoor space but also ensured continued protection from the elements for years to come. The client’s awning now looks and functions like new – without needing a full replacement.
