What Should I Consider When Choosing Outdoor Blinds?
Here are 5 things to consider when you choose outdoor blinds & installation:
Keep the Weather Out
Don’t let rainy days dampen your outdoor plans!
No need to take your patio party indoors! Outdoor blinds and shades can provide rain and wind resistance, protecting you (and your patio furniture) from inclement weather.
Protect From The Sun
Enjoy enhanced shade in your outdoor space.
Outdoor patio blinds and UV roller shades can block harmful UV rays and provide enough shade to keep the sun to a minimum. They can also take the edge off the summer heat – so you can enjoy the beautiful weather and worry less about sunburn.
Block Out the Bugs
Stay outside after dusk.
You can ask about outdoor blinds or shades that are designed to be an effective barrier against mosquitos and other pesky bugs, so you can get back to enjoying your backyard family time.
Better Privacy
Block out the neighbours.
Choose visually pleasing patio shades that allow you privacy for when you want to spend quality time outdoors with family, friends – and no one else. Choose from a range of style options that keep your space private from the outside while still allowing plenty of light and ambience.
Enhance Your Condo Balcony
Beautify your condo’s outdoor space.
Bring the same benefits of sun & weather protection, enhanced privacy and light control to your condo or apartment balcony. Our expert design consultants can make recommendations based on what works best for your space while ensuring compliance with any applicable building requirements.*
*Condo outdoor blinds installations are subject to any applicable strata, condo board, or building regulations, as well as any logistical limitations of accessing and/or working in your space.
Enhanced Comfort & Class
Beautify your backyard!
In addition to the added privacy and protection they offer, outdoor blinds and shades can bring a sense of class and cosiness to any porch, pergola, patio, deck or gazebo. With many colours, styles and materials to choose from, outdoor blinds can be a truly unique addition to your home.
