Indoor–outdoor flow is central to contemporary home design, and the Ellipse Monobloc awning helps create that connection through reliable, generous overhead cover. Made in Auckland, this system is ideal for homeowners wanting retractable shade sails or a streamlined retractable patio awning that enhances courtyards, sheltered seating areas and outdoor rooms throughout the year.
Our awnings can be upgraded to motorised retractable awnings, giving you smooth, wired-in control through a remote, wall switch or compatible home-automation system. Motorisation makes it simple to extend and retract the awning, and built-in motion sensors provide extra protection by automatically pulling the canopy in when winds pick up, offering peace of mind that your awning is safeguarded even when you’re not home.
For a cost-effective option, the awning can be operated using a removable crank handle, allowing you to open and close your retractable shade sails or awning smoothly without visible hardware. The handle can be detached when not in use, keeping the design tidy and maintaining the clean, minimal look of the Ellipse system.
Colour plays a key role in shaping a comfortable outdoor setting, which is why our fabric collection has been developed to support long-lasting, stylish retractable shades and awnings.
Docril Acrylic Canvas, designed and manufactured in Spain, is known for its superb quality, rich texture and extensive colour palette. It offers a vibrant selection of tones to suit any décor and is backed by a 10-year UV warranty for long-term confidence.
Soltis Lounge 96, created in France by Serge Ferrari, is a lightweight, durable and 100% recyclable screen fabric that helps create a comfortable ambience for outdoor environments. Its balance of performance and sustainability makes it an excellent choice for premium retractable shade sails and outdoor awnings.
Ellipse awnings come in three standard Dulux colours: White, Grey and Textured Black, offering a clean, modern finish that suits most exteriors. Custom powder-coating is also available at an additional cost if you’d prefer a tailored look for your retractable shade sails or awning.
Ellipse Monobloc awnings are built to last, and adding a protective hood can further extend their lifespan. The hood helps shield the awning when retracted, keeping the sun off the fabric, protecting the hardware from moisture and safeguarding the motor on motorised retractable awnings. It also gives the awning a tidy, tucked-away appearance when not in use.
Below are the standard size options, with width listed first, followed by the projection of how far the awning extends outward:

Not exclusively. Our Ellipse retractable awnings are a popular choice, but many homeowners also choose Quatro outdoor roller blinds for enclosed patios, decks or outdoor window areas where structured vertical shade works best.
