Patio blinds are an essential addition to any home or commercial space when it comes to creating the perfect outdoor living area.
In Aotearoa, where the weather can shift from sunny to stormy in a matter of hours, patio blinds offer a versatile solution that allows you to enjoy your outdoor space year-round, regardless of the weather.
Designed for patios, pergolas, verandas, and balconies, patio blinds are not only practical but also stylish. They offer a host of benefits that enhance the comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of your outdoor areas. Let’s explore why installing patio blinds could be the perfect solution for your home.
Benefits of Installing Patio Blinds
1. Privacy Control
Patio blinds provide the flexibility to control the amount of privacy in your outdoor space. Whether you want to keep the blinds open to enjoy the view or close them for added privacy, patio blinds make it easy to create the level of seclusion you need. This is especially useful if you have neighbours nearby or live on a busy street. With adjustable patio blinds, you can enjoy peace of mind while relaxing in your alfresco area.
2. Protection from the Elements
New Zealand’s unpredictable weather can make outdoor entertaining tricky, but patio blinds offer a solution. With the ability to raise or lower the blinds, you can adjust the amount of light, wind, or rain that enters your space. This ensures that even during sudden downpours or gusts of wind, you’ll stay sheltered and comfortable. Patio blinds act as a barrier against wind and rain, helping to maintain a cozy atmosphere in your outdoor living area.
3. Stylish Addition to Your Home
At Awnings Plus, we believe functionality doesn’t have to come at the cost of style. Our patio blinds are designed to complement and enhance the look of your property. With custom-made designs, you can choose from a variety of materials and colours to match your home’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer sleek, modern lines or a more traditional look, our patio blinds are the perfect way to add a touch of elegance to your outdoor space.
Our Range of Outdoor Blinds
At Awnings Plus, we offer a selection of premium blinds tailored to suit both residential and commercial spaces. Our custom-made blinds are built to withstand New Zealand’s unique climate while providing exceptional style and functionality. Here are two of our popular options:
1. Bannette™ Drop Down Awnings: Versatile Weather Protection
The Bannette™ Drop Down Awnings and patio blinds offer a versatile solution for creating a comfortable outdoor area. Whether you’re looking to protect your deck, patio, or commercial space, these awnings provide reliable shelter from wind and rain. In addition, they enhance the beauty of your surroundings at the same time. Made from clear PVC, acrylic, or Solarview fabric, they offer flexibility in both function and design.
With the Bannette™ Drop Down Awnings, you can choose clear PVC for uninterrupted views or opt for semi-transparent fabrics in stylish colors to add privacy without sacrificing natural light. These awnings are operated manually via a durable gearbox and removable crank handle. Certainly, for those who want a modern touch, consider upgrading to motorized controls.
2. Solarzip™ Drop Down Awnings: Sturdy Protection from Wind and Rain
For homeowners seeking extra protection from the elements, Solarzip™ Drop Down Awnings offer a more robust solution. These awnings feature encapsulated side guides and a high-temperature welded zip, which ensures the fabric stays securely in place even in strong winds. With patented heavy-duty PVC inserts, Solarzip™ awnings prevent tears and ensure a longer lifespan compared to less advanced systems.
Perfect for those wanting both style and durability, Solarzip™ patio blinds are available in a range of materials, including clear PVC and Solarview mesh. We recommend the Solarview fabric for its ability to offer clear views from the inside while maintaining privacy from the outside. The fabric also resists marks better than clear PVC, making it a smart choice for homes and businesses alike.
At Awnings Plus, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, custom-made patio blinds that meet the unique needs of New Zealand homeowners. Our blinds provide both style and protection, allowing you to make the most of your outdoor living spaces in any weather. With a range of fabric options, manual and motorized controls, and professional installation services, we make it easy to transform your patio or veranda into a functional, stylish space.
