The last steps on a home build are the finishing touches, which often add to the overall look but can equally take away from a great design. Finishing details should include products that are practical and enhance the lifestyle of the occupants, but also add to the design of the home.

This Queenstown home is a perfect example of a finishing touch that not only enhances the homeowner's lifestyle, but also adds flair to the beautifully designed home.

The homeowners opted for retractable Felicia Boxed Folding Arm Awnings to provide protection from the intense central Otago summer sun. These premium folding arm awnings retract into an enclosed head-box when they are not needed, ensuring a low profile finish that does not detract from the finished look of the home.

For the awning fabric the homeowners chose Sunray's Planosol, a mildew and UV-resistant acrylic fabric coloured in Ivory. The awnings were finished in the Dulux powder coat colour Pearl White, which matches the home's joinery and exterior colours.

Felicia Boxed Folding Arm Awnings come in a minimum width of 1820mm and maximum width of 5920mm, with a projection selection of 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 and 3500mm. Fixing options include a face or ceiling mount.
