A living area outdoors can be a comfortable spot to relax, entertain guests, or work. But if you’re always struggling against the sun, wind or the elements, you’ll find that you utilise those spaces less often than you’d like. Fortunately, installation of outdoor blinds can change that for you.

Where Are Outdoor Blinds Installed?

Outdoor blinds and louvred panels are as diverse as they are innovative. The answer to the questions of where they can be installed is simple – wherever you want them! Different to louvred roofs, which can only be installed over patio, deck or pergola areas as a covering, outdoor blinds can be installed to enclose the area on the sides, or over the outside of your windows.

Also known as outdoor shutters, outdoor blinds fixed over windows are generally smaller in size, to fit over the window. But if you want to enclose your patio, they can be large enough to reach the roof from the floor.

The Benefits Of Outdoor Blinds 

Why should you install this feature to the outdoor living areas of your home? Outdoor blinds have many benefits, which is why they have become such a popular installation in many households. The benefits you can expect include the following:

You Get Protection From The Sun 

Living in hot and dry climates can make your indoor and outdoor living areas uncomfortable – especially when the sun streams in at times of the day when you use those areas the most. For example, if you enjoy using your patio for meditation, yoga or exercise in the mornings, the rising sun could ruin the experience for you, and chase you indoors where you could be more comfortable. If you leave the office early every day to work from your home study, the setting sun could make it hot, stuffy and uncomfortable. But with Mesh outdoor blinds over your windows or enclosing the sides of your outdoor areas, you can control how much sun can get inside. You’re protected from heat and UV rays, and you won’t have to change your routine.

Motorised Pvc Blinds Block The Rain

Nothing puts a dampener on a dinner party in the coolness of your patio like a storm rolling in. If your indoor dining areas aren’t large enough for your group, you’ll more likely not plan a dinner party for a day with scheduled rain. However, you should be able to use your home, and deck, whenever and however you want to. With Louvretec’s motorised PVC outdoor blinds enclosing the sides of your outdoor area, you don’t have to worry about the wind howling in to your party and your guests won’t get pelted with raindrops.

Mesh Outdoor Blinds Add An Element Of Temperature Control 

Blocking out the bright sunshine or rain does wonders for the comfort of your outdoor living spaces, but what about the temperatures? Sometimes the wind on its own can blow through your patio and leave you chilled. Bright sunshine also brings heat, so if you want to have a more comfortable temperature on the deck while you relax, work or entertain, mesh outdoor blinds can limit those elements from entering the space. If you want a light breeze without your papers blowing away, you can do that by keeping the blinds partially closed. Shutting them entirely can enclose the whole area, keeping the stifling heat or biting cold from getting in.

It Updates The Style Of Your Home 

How can you refresh the look of your home without extensive and expensive renovations? If you repaint the house, it will look brand new, but will still have the same overall look and footprint. If you want to modernise the style of your home consider adding an Outdoor Room comprising of an Opening Roof and Outdoor blinds. Opening Roofs not only create functional outdoor spaces they add another dimension & balance to your home or building.

They Improve Privacy 

Privacy is important to most people. And even though you have privacy on the inside of your home, you should enjoy the same level of privacy when you’re relaxing on your back deck or patio.  If your neighbour’s house has windows that look onto your backyard and deck, you might hesitate to be completely comfortable there. Consider installing Louvretec motorised outdoor blinds – your privacy solution.

Outdoor blinds will be a welcomed installation for your home. You can enjoy the same benefits in your office as well. With outdoor blind you can use your outdoor living spaces in comfort and privacy.
