The Top 5 Luxaflex Products for Melbourne Summers
By Kathryn Dowsett, Interior Designer And Owner, Nicholls Interiors
1. Luxaflex Evo MagnaTrack® Awning
Engineered for Australian weather, the Evo Magna Track Awning System has changed the game for shade solutions, combining smart technology with steadfast durability and contemporary style making it the ultimate motorised awning option for your home.
Its patented magnetic tracking system keeps the fabric perfectly tensioned and stable – even in strong coastal winds. Ideal for Melbourne’s variable summer climate, the MagnaTrack reduces heat and glare while maintaining your view and protecting outdoor entertaining spaces.
Perfect for large spaces, the Evo MagnaTrack’s ground-breaking design and premium fabric allow the awning to span up to 6.5 metres in width with a 4-metre drop while remaining taut and elegant.
Available in a great range of colours, the diagonal twill weave fibreglass fabric is the highest quality on the market and is designed to resist harsh weather conditions that cause stretching and warping over time. This means your outdoor area becomes a weatherproof space without compromising on looks.
The Evo MagnaTrack works effectively to provide shade and reduce your energy bill, shielding the areas near large windows or glass doors from the sun’s radiant heat – the ultimate lifestyle choice for your home, particularly during these warmer months.
2. Luxaflex Nordic Arafura Awning
Elegant and versatile, the Luxaflex Nordic Arafura Awning offers superior shading for windows and outdoor areas with a contemporary edge. Designed to complement modern architecture, it provides flexible control over sunlight and privacy. Its robust materials withstand Melbourne’s harsh UV exposure, while its clean lines and minimalist design make it a beautiful addition to any façade.
The Nordic range of Awning Arms allows for application of all spaces – from tiny terraces to wide expanses. Nordic Series Design- ND is available with a variety of optional accessories, including a rain hood for additional fabric and hardware protection, a sunscreen roller valance for enhanced shade protection as well as an optional Variable Pitch Control.
Variable Pitch Control is a unique and easy tilt feature which allows you to adjust the pitch of the awning when it is projected, providing ultimate shading throughout the day as the awning projection can be angled throughout the day. Available with crank control and motorised options.

3. Luxaflex Duette® Shades
For inside the home, Luxaflex Duette Shades are a must-have for keeping interiors cool and energy-efficient. Their signature honeycomb structure traps air, creating an insulating layer that helps regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs.
Perfect for Melbourne’s summer heat, Duette Shades block heat before it enters, while still allowing soft, natural light to fill your space. Both attractive and innovative, the Duette Shades are also known as honeycomb blinds or ‘cellular shades’ due to their function of trapping air in their series of ‘cells’. This formation, resembling a honeycomb, acts as an insulation layer on your windows, keeping the heat out during summer (plus locking warmth in during winter).
Luxaflex Duette Shades offer a range of opacities from sheer to blackout, providing excellent light control according to your needs. These window treatments are super easy to care for and are available in a large selection of cell sizes and styles.
4. Luxaflex Evo Pivot Arm Awning
The Luxaflex Evo Pivot Arm awning provides exceptional versatility for windows that need both shade and ventilation. Designed for larger windows, the Pivot Arm Awning projects the fabric away from the window using pivoting arms and allowing air to circulate freely while still protecting interiors from direct sunlight. This awning allows the convenience of keeping windows open while the awning is in use. Its robust, contemporary construction makes it a stylish and functional choice for homes.
The Pivot Arm is ideal for upstairs windows or areas where airflow and light control are equally important.
5. Luxaflex Evo Wide Guide Awning
When you need shade for expansive outdoor areas, the Evo Wide Guide delivers. Designed for large-scale windows and open spaces, it offers smooth, stable operation and superior sun protection without obstructing your view. The Evo wire guide can span 6.5m wide x 4m tall and uses stainless steel guide wires for a more discreet finish.
The durable guiding system and wide coverage make it a practical solution for patios, verandas, and alfresco zones, creating a cool, sheltered retreat.
