Frequently asked questions

Should I choose zip-guided or straight-drop outdoor blinds?

Zip-guided (channel) blinds hold the fabric in side tracks, which seals out wind, rain and insects and suits exposed alfresco and pergola areas. Straight-drop blinds are simpler and ideal for sheltered balconies and verandahs. We match the guide system to your opening, exposure and how you use the space.

Can outdoor blinds be motorised?

Yes. We offer both manual and motorised control, and motorisation suits large openings, hard-to-reach drops or anyone who wants one-touch operation. Motorised blinds can be matched to the opening, wind exposure and sun path, and remote or wall-switch control is available.

How well do outdoor blinds handle weather and UV?

Quality outdoor blind fabrics are designed to resist UV fading and weather while cutting glare and sun. Zip-guided systems with the fabric held in tracks give the best protection against wind and driving rain, turning an exposed patio into a usable room across more of the year.

Can outdoor blinds turn my alfresco into a usable room?

That is exactly what they are for. By screening sun, wind, rain and insects, outdoor blinds let you use a pergola, alfresco or balcony for relaxing and dining year-round. They add privacy from neighbours and weather protection without permanently enclosing the space.

How big an opening can outdoor blinds cover?

Our guide systems cover everything from a single window to wide openings, with a large-opening pathway suited to spans up to around 35 square metres. We specify the system, guides and control method around the width and drop of your opening at the measure.
