You know the saying "everyone loves a shady tree"? Now you can take that literally with outdoor window coverings. What if we told you that sun, wind and rain are no longer an issue for any of your windows? With our top-of-the line overhangs, they'll all be protected from harsh weather conditions while giving them a clean look on the exterior wall or building in which it is mounted to. You don't have to worry about energy bills either because this product will actually reduce heat gain up 77%.
Outdoor awnings are the overhanging secondary covers which are fixed to the exterior wall of your building. Their primary purpose is protecting windows from external weather conditions, and decreasing sunlight inside your home. The materials used to create outdoor awnings can vary, with popular types including canvas, polyester, cotton, metal and wood. A very common choice among these is the durable fabric type that comes in an affordable price range.
Retractable awnings are the most popular style of this type. They can be rolled up or folded back when not in use, which makes them space-saving solutions for any home or business owner that needs to conserve some room while still being protected from sun and rain. Retractables come with two styles: folding arm retractables (manually operated) and pivot arm models (motorized).
Fixed awnings, in comparison, are stationary and permanently affixed to a building's exterior. They are comprised of a non-moving, robust frame, however can be susceptible to more maintenance issues because of their constant exposure to the elements. Fixed-awning structures are best suited to areas where shade or coverage from weather is required permanently.
Outdoor Blinds are the perfect way to give your outdoor areas a multidimensional style. They're excellent for blocking out not only the sun in warmer months, but wind and rain during cooler seasons too. Not only do Outdoor Blinds keep pesky insects outside of your space, they also have minimal blind movement when in windy areas. With this see-through material you get all the benefits that come with keeping pests and weather OUT without closing off completely from natural light or air circulation which is so important for indoor comfort levels. They are also great for preventing mould build-up on furniture inside spaces like patios or al fresco dining environments where temperatures fluctuate wildly throughout the different seasons.
Modern outdoor blinds can be installed into your structure and are perfect for blocking out the sun's light. These window treatments use base rails, locks and channels to ensure a tight fit in any space. They also come with an option of being motorised so you don't have to manually wind them up and down. Modern outdoor blinds specifically offer PVC as their main material, which is durable enough to withstand harsh UV rays, wind, rain or whatever else comes its way. They're available in a wide range of colours with the material designed to not lose colour via fading.
