EXTERNAL BLINDS
Aussies have always loved their backyards. The days of the Hills Hoist taking centre stage have moved aside and backyards have become a retreat, an extension of the indoors, a place to enjoy endless summer nights around the barbeque and cool winter evenings warming up around a fire.

Outdoor Blinds are becoming increasingly popular to enclose outdoor spaces and maximise living areas and, with several options available, you can decide, or seek assistance from our expert team on your premier choice for functionality, aesthetics, and cost effectiveness.

SUNSCREEN BLINDS
Sunscreen Blinds are stylish and practical. They offer ample sun protection by filtering out damaging UV rays while still allowing you to enjoy the view. With light and cool breezes filtering through, sunscreen blinds give you the best of both worlds.

A lighter mesh awning colour reflects a higher level of solar energy and provides optimum heat reduction indoors. A darker colour reduces glare, improves outward visibility, and provides the best protection from the sun’s harmful rays.
