Everyone wants to make the most of their outdoor space – as well as enjoying the pleasure of entertaining or relaxing outdoors, it is a great way of extending your home or business.
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.
Efficiency
If you’re outdoor space extends from your home or business, then outdoor blinds not only give you control of the space but they can increase the energy efficiency of the main building too.
They reduce heat loss in cold weather and heat gain in summer. You can air your home or business naturally without worrying about the heat.

Protection from the elements also improves the lifespan of outdoor furniture and fittings and gives you greater choice in decor. Outdoor blinds prevent general wear from sun and rain and also prevent colours from fading. So you can furnish your pool house just as you would like, without having to worry about weather damage.
