Why Install Outdoor Blinds?

Firstly…

Outdoor blinds, or Café blinds as they’re often called, can revolutionise your outdoor space and the way you use it. They offer you control over your exterior space without having to lose that essential outdoors, fresh-air feeling.

Protection from Wind, Sun, Rain & Dust

One of the downsides of outdoor spaces is their exposure to the elements. Especially in Perth, where the wind, sun, rain and dust can really take their toll.

In our coastal areas, when the sea breeze comes in strong, being able to pull down the blinds and continue enjoying the day is fantastic. Equally in our inland suburbs when those hot easterlies start blowing, quality outdoor blinds will shield and protect you. You’ll still be able to enjoy yourself without getting covered in dust or things blowing over.

In hot weather, the blinds can offer shade from the sun and high level UV shielding. They can also help you keep your outdoor space insect free. And when sun turns to rain, you’ll still be able to entertain and enjoy yourself.

Installing outdoor blinds gives you a high level of protection, so you can access your outdoor space all day long and all year round.
