Awnings Melrose
High-grade awnings for shade and protection in Melrose: retractable, adjustable or fixed, sized to your terrace and fitted by our Johannesburg team.
Louvres as architecture
A modern, moneyed tone
Awnings that suit Melrose
Melrose sets a modern tone: Melrose Arch's precinct lines, the estate homes off Corlett Drive, architecture that leans dark, flat-roofed and deliberate. An awning here is judged as a design element first, a shade solution second.
Charcoal and bronze frames carrying white louvres are our most-requested answer: dark where they meet the building, bright where they become the ceiling of a terrace. Everything is baked-on aluminium, so the finish holds its edge against the Highveld sun without fading or flaking.
- 10-year guarantee on materials, 1 year on workmanship
- Frames colour-matched to modern dark palettes

Dark frame, white blades
What we build in Melrose
Charcoal frame, white ceiling
Melrose houses are mostly dark and flat-roofed, with a kitchen that opens straight onto the terrace. A white structure fights that; a dark one overhead makes the terrace feel like a cave.
Running a charcoal frame with the blades painted white settles it. Dark where the structure meets the architecture, bright where it becomes the ceiling, so the light bounces back down onto the entertaining space. Closed, it sheds a highveld storm into concealed gutters; open, the terrace reads as one space with the house.

Good to know
Awnings in Melrose: common questions
Can the frame be finished in a dark colour?
Yes. Charcoal, bronze and black are among the 23 baked-on aluminium colours, and we routinely match the frame to a modern home's window and roof lines while keeping the blades a lighter shade to reflect light downward.
Will a louvre awning suit a contemporary flat-roofed home?
It is one of the best matches. The clean horizontal lines of an adjustable louvre roof echo flat-roof architecture, and the mounting can be cantilevered or post-supported to keep sightlines uncluttered.
Do you install in secure estates around Melrose?
Regularly. We handle the access arrangements and any estate design approvals up front, and one Johannesburg crew does both the measure and the fit.
