Things to consider before shopping for outdoor blinds

January 27th, 2016 · Published to Outdoor Blinds

If you’re shopping for outdoor blinds for your home, restaurant or café, then you should first consider a few things to ensure you don’t end up purchasing inferior quality products. While high quality blinds are incredibly durable and can offer you years of protection from the sun, rain and wind, low quality products will wear out over a few years and will need to be replaced.

Being a reputed Australian manufacturer and supplier of outdoor blinds for over 25 years, I certainly have more than enough knowledge on how to select appropriate blinds for any purpose, whether you need to install them at your home, your café or your restaurant.

To ensure that the outdoor blinds you purchase meet your needs and requirements, continue reading on, as I outline the various things you need to consider before making your purchase.

Measure the area to know what size outdoor blinds you need

The first step to consider is to measure the area of your outdoor space to determine the size of the outdoor blinds you need. While large spaces can be fitted with either small or large sized blinds, small spaces can only use small blinds. Outdoor blinds are available as vertical and horizontal styles. While vertical blinds make large spaces appear smaller, horizontal blinds can be used to make small spaces appear larger. Depending on the size of your area, you should choose the type of outdoor blinds you need.

Decide on the material you want for the design of the outdoor blinds

Outdoor blinds are available in a range of materials and you should carefully consider what material you want. Ideally, your blinds should be durable and they should be weather-proof as well. At Global Shade, we offer PVC blinds and shade cloth fabric blinds. Both types of blinds are durable, waterproof and weather resistant and can last you years to come.

Consider the design and colour of the outdoor blinds

Finally, you should consider the design and the colour scheme of your outdoor blinds. Of the blinds that we offer at Global Shade, if you choose shade cloth fabric blinds, you have a wide variety of colours to choose from. PVC blinds, on the other hand, are available in clear or tinted shades, but they come with a range of custom trimmings and coloured borders which can match existing décor.

Outdoor blinds are an economical shade solution which can be used to weather-proof a home, restaurant or café. Global Shade is an established Australian manufacturer of outdoor blinds, offering high quality products for over 25 years now. Our outdoor blinds are designed to meet the outdoor living needs of Australians, keeping in mind the harsh weather conditions we face in the country.

Before you go shopping for outdoor blinds, you must first make a few considerations, such as measuring the area that you want covered by the blinds, selecting the material used for the blinds and choosing a design and colour scheme to complement your existing décor.
