Outdoor Blinds

Outdoor blinds, also known as external blinds, are used to provide extra protection to outdoor or exterior areas. External blinds can provide extra shade during hot summer months and also effectively keep out cold air in winter.

External blinds are an ideal way to provide your exterior areas with a little more protection than you’d normally get. They can help keep the chill out during the cool winter months, while also adding a little shade from the hot summer sun.

Not only are they a great idea for your home, but they can also be used throughout commercial restaurants in seating areas. You can rest assured that all of our external blinds will be a perfect fit for your space, as they are made on-site at our Toowoomba factory.

Everything will be precisely measured and manufactured specifically for your space. Additionally, we have a wide range of materials available, including PVC, canvas, and shade mesh for those who want privacy but also air flow.

All external blinds can be installed by home or business owners, or we can send out our installation team to handle it for you, the choice is yours.

Outdoor blinds are a quality addition to any home or commercial space, but like any investment, they require care to maintain their appearance and functionality. Here are some maintenance tips to ensure your blinds last for years:

• Regular Cleaning: Dust and dirt can accumulate on your blinds, especially if they're exposed to the elements. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe away any debris. For tougher stains, a mild detergent solution can be used.
• Check the Mechanism: No matter what type of blinds you may have, it is important to regularly inspect the mechanism to ensure it operates smoothly. If you notice any resistance, it might be time for a service.
• Protect Against Harsh Weather: While outdoor blinds are designed to withstand the local climate, it's always a good idea to retract them during extreme weather conditions to prevent damage.

Selecting the right outdoor blinds for your space can be a game-changer. Here's what to consider:
