Reboss Awning Prices: What Affects the Cost of a Fixed Acrylic or Polycarbonate Awning?

If you're considering installing an awning, one of your first questions is probably:

How much will it cost?

It's a sensible question, especially when you're comparing different options for your home.

However, not every awning is the same, and the price of a compact window canopy can be very different from that of a larger awning installed over a patio or entrance.

Reboss offers a range of fixed curved awnings in different sizes, projections, materials and bracket configurations.

Understanding these differences can help you make a more informed decision before requesting a quote.

In this guide, we'll explain the main factors that influence Reboss awning pricing and what information you should prepare to obtain an accurate quotation.

Why Do Awning Prices Vary?

An awning is more than a sheet of acrylic or polycarbonate mounted above a window.

It is a complete system consisting of the covering material, supporting brackets, frame components and fixings.

The size and specification of these components influence the overall cost.

Installation requirements can also vary significantly between properties.

For example, an awning fitted above an easily accessible ground-floor window presents a different installation challenge from one mounted above an upper-floor balcony.

This is why it is more useful to compare complete awning specifications than simply compare prices without understanding what is included.

The Main Factors That Affect Reboss Awning Prices

Several factors can influence the price of a fixed awning.

These include:

• Awning width
• Awning projection
• Reboss product series
• Acrylic or polycarbonate covering
• Clear, bronze or tinted finish
• Bracket material and finish
• Number of awning units
• Installation requirements
• Delivery and site location

Let's look at each factor more closely.

1. Awning Size and Width

One of the first things to establish is the width of the area you want to protect.

A small kitchen window and a wide sliding door require different amounts of covering material and supporting structure.

As the required width increases, material quantities and the configuration of the awning may change.

For very wide openings, the installation may require multiple units rather than a single canopy.

That is why accurate measurements are essential when requesting a quotation.

Measure the full width of the opening and consider whether you want the awning to extend beyond its edges.

A quotation based on approximate measurements may need to be revised once the actual installation dimensions are confirmed.

2. Awning Projection

Projection refers to how far an awning extends outward from the wall.

This measurement is particularly important because it affects both the amount of coverage provided and the awning system required.

Reboss currently offers five principal fixed awning series with different projections.

Reboss Series

Projection

Bracket System

H-Series

700 mm

Engineered PolyComposite

D-Series

1000 mm

Engineered PolyComposite

M-Series

1000 mm

Aluminium

P-Series

1200 mm

Aluminium

R-Series

1500 mm

Aluminium

These are product specifications, not price categories.

A larger projection may involve different materials, bracket requirements and installation considerations, but the actual price difference must be confirmed through a quotation.

Choosing the correct projection is more important than automatically selecting the largest available option.

For a detailed comparison, read our H-Series vs D-Series vs M-Series vs P-Series vs R-Series: Which Reboss Awning Do You Need? guide.

3. Which Reboss Series Do You Need?

The five Reboss series serve different applications.

H-Series: Compact Windows and Entrances

With a 700 mm projection, the H-Series is designed for smaller openings where compact overhead protection is required.

It is worth considering for smaller windows and entrance areas.

D-Series: Additional Window and Door Coverage

The D-Series offers a 1000 mm projection with engineered PolyComposite brackets.

It provides greater outward coverage than the H-Series and may suit larger windows, doors and smaller outdoor areas.

M-Series: Aluminium Bracket Construction

The M-Series also has a 1000 mm projection, but uses aluminium brackets.

This makes bracket design and appearance part of the decision when comparing it with the D-Series.

P-Series: Patios and Balconies

The P-Series offers a 1200 mm projection and is positioned for applications including patios, balconies and larger openings.

R-Series: Larger Coverage Requirements

The R-Series provides a 1500 mm projection and is designed for applications requiring greater coverage, including larger openings and walkways.

The correct system should be selected according to the installation requirements, not simply its position in the range.

4. Acrylic vs Polycarbonate: Does Material Affect the Price?

Yes, the covering material is another factor that can influence an awning quotation.

Reboss offers both acrylic and multiwall polycarbonate options.

These materials have different properties, appearances and manufacturing requirements.

Acrylic Awnings

Acrylic is particularly attractive where a clear, premium architectural finish is important.

It offers excellent optical clarity and is available in clear and tinted options.

Homeowners often consider acrylic when appearance and transparency are major priorities.

Multiwall Polycarbonate Awnings

Multiwall polycarbonate is valued for its combination of impact resistance, relatively low weight and practical outdoor performance.

It is also available in clear, bronze and tinted finishes.

Rather than assuming that one material is always cheaper, ask Reboss to compare the actual available options for your chosen awning size and series.

The relative price can depend on the specific sheet specification and configuration.

5. Clear, Bronze or Tinted Panels

Once you've selected the covering material, you may also need to choose its colour or tint.

Reboss offers clear, bronze and tinted panel options across its acrylic and polycarbonate ranges.

These finishes can create different results.

Clear panels maximise natural light and maintain a bright, open appearance.

Bronze panels provide warmer tones and can help reduce glare.

Grey or other tinted options create a more shaded, contemporary finish.

The right choice depends on the orientation of the opening, the amount of sunlight it receives and your preferred architectural appearance.

Different finishes may also have different prices or availability.

Ask for a quotation based on the exact finish you want rather than assuming all colours cost the same.

6. Bracket Material and Finish

The bracket system is another important part of a Reboss awning.

The H- and D-Series use engineered PolyComposite brackets.

The M-, P- and R-Series use aluminium brackets.

These systems have different construction and design characteristics.

Reboss currently offers aluminium brackets in standard finishes including black, charcoal, bronze and white, with custom powder coating also available.

A custom finish may require additional manufacturing work and could affect the final quotation.

If matching the awning to your window frames, doors or exterior colour scheme is important, discuss the finish before placing an order.

7. DIY Installation vs Professional Installation

Another major cost consideration is installation.

Some homeowners may be comfortable installing an appropriately sized awning themselves, provided they have the necessary skills, equipment and suitable mounting conditions.

However, other installations require professional assistance.

Examples include:

• Upper-floor windows
• Elevated balconies
• Difficult-to-access walls
• Uncertain wall construction
• Larger or more complex awning arrangements
• Installations requiring specialist access equipment
• Locations with demanding structural requirements

Professional installation can add labour and access costs, but it may be the appropriate choice for safety and correct mounting.

It is important to establish whether installation is included in the quotation or charged separately.

Our existing DIY Awning Installation in South Africa guide explains the practical considerations in more detail.

8. The Condition of Your Wall

Two awnings with identical dimensions may require different installation methods.

Why?

Because the walls they are attached to may be different.

Sound structural concrete, solid brickwork, lightweight masonry and hollow-wall construction can require different fixing solutions.

If the mounting surface is damaged or unsuitable, additional preparation or structural work may be necessary.

This should be identified before installation.

A lower initial installation quote is not necessarily better value if it excludes the correct anchors or necessary site preparation.

9. How Many Awnings Do You Need?

Some homes require only one awning.

Others may need several.

For example, a homeowner might want matching awnings over three bedroom windows and an exterior door.

Another property may require multiple units across a wide patio opening.

The total number of units affects material quantities, delivery and installation requirements.

If you're planning several awnings, it can be useful to request one coordinated quotation rather than pricing each installation separately without considering the complete project.

This also gives you an opportunity to ensure the awnings have consistent finishes and alignment.

10. Delivery and Location

Your location can also affect the final cost.

Delivery arrangements may differ depending on where the awning is being supplied.

Professional installation costs may also vary according to travel distance, access and site conditions.

When requesting a quote, provide your suburb, town or city so that any relevant delivery or installation charges can be identified.

Ask whether the quotation includes delivery and what arrangements apply if you are installing the awning yourself.

How Much Does a Reboss Awning Actually Cost?

There isn't one accurate price that applies to every Reboss awning.

The final amount depends on the specific product, dimensions, covering material, finish and installation requirements.

Rather than publishing estimated prices that may not reflect the current product range, the most reliable approach is to request a quotation for your intended installation.

When comparing quotes, make sure they cover the same specifications.

For example, a 700 mm projection awning with one type of panel should not be treated as directly equivalent to a 1200 mm projection awning with a different bracket system.

The important question is not simply which option costs less.

It is which option provides the right coverage, material and installation for your property.

What Information Should You Provide for an Awning Quote?

Preparing the correct information can make the quotation process easier.

Before contacting Reboss, gather the following:

1. Opening Width

Measure the window, door or area you want covered.

2. Required Projection

Estimate how far the awning needs to extend outward.

If you're uncertain, explain what you want to protect.

3. Photographs

Take a clear photograph of the complete opening and the surrounding wall.

A wider photograph showing gutters, downpipes and other nearby features can also be helpful.

4. Mounting Height

Indicate whether the awning will be installed at ground-floor level or higher up.

5. Preferred Material

Mention whether you're interested in acrylic, polycarbonate or would like advice on both.

6. Preferred Finish

If you have a preferred clear, bronze or tinted covering, include that information.

7. Location

Provide your suburb and city for delivery or installation planning.

8. Installation Requirements

Explain whether you intend to install the awning yourself or require professional installation.

With this information, Reboss can better understand the proposed installation and advise on the available options.

Questions to Ask Before Accepting a Quote

Before making a final decision, clarify what the quoted price includes.

Useful questions include:

• Which Reboss series is specified?
• What are the final width and projection?
• Which covering material is included?
• What panel colour or tint is supplied?
• What bracket material and finish are included?
• Are wall anchors and fixings included?
• Is delivery included?
• Is installation included?
• Are there additional access requirements?
• What warranty terms apply to the supplied components?
• What is the expected lead time?

These questions make it easier to compare quotations and avoid misunderstandings.

Is a More Expensive Awning Always Better?

Not necessarily.

A larger awning may provide more coverage, but that doesn't mean it is the best choice for a small window.

Similarly, a particular panel material or finish may offer features you don't need for your installation.

The most cost-effective solution is often the one that matches the application correctly.

For a compact window, a smaller system may provide everything required.

For a larger entrance or patio, greater projection may be worth considering.

The goal is to avoid both under-specifying and unnecessarily over-specifying the awning.



Think About Long-Term Value

Purchase price is important, but it isn't the only consideration.

An awning is a long-term exterior addition to your property.

Consider the durability of the materials, suitability of the fixings, maintenance requirements and the protection the awning is intended to provide.

A correctly selected awning may help shade windows, protect entrances from overhead rain and make outdoor areas more comfortable.

For some homeowners, those benefits are the main reason for investing in an awning.

Get the Right Reboss Awning for Your Budget

Choosing a fixed awning becomes easier once you understand what affects the price.

Start with the dimensions of the area you want covered.

Then consider the appropriate projection, acrylic or polycarbonate sheeting, panel finish and bracket system.

Finally, establish the installation requirements and confirm exactly what is included in the quotation.
