Benefits of Motorised Outdoor Blinds

Below, we discuss just a few of the benefits of installing motorised outdoor blinds for your home.

Protection

Blinds protect your interior furnishings and surfaces from the bleaching effects of sunlight. Additionally, blinds can absorb heat to help keep your home cool in the summer months and will prevent your windows from over-heating. External blinds used on a pergola or verandah will protect your outdoor furniture from extreme elements. Conveniently, external motorised blinds will also provide protection from the cold in winter, and prevent flies and mosquitoes from interrupting your summer entertaining.

Safety and Security

If you have high or very large windows with blinds, opening and closing them can be tricky and often requires additional tools such as ladders or reaching poles. Motorised blinds eliminate the need for extra effort and are cordless which is beneficial if there are children around. Motorised external blinds can improve home security when you operate them on a timer, putting off intruders by making it look like you're at home.

Privacy

No matter how well you get on with your neighbours, you don't need them to be overlooking every dinner party or interrupting your relaxation time. External blinds can restore your privacy, creating a space you are free to enjoy without spectators.

Style

Motorised external blinds are available in a wide variety of colours and styles so you can choose a design that complements your external architecture. A modern blind can instantly give the outside of your home a facelift, make an outside dining area feel cosier or create an interesting garden feature with vibrant colours.

Transform Your Space

Not just for covering windows, your motorised outdoor blinds can be closed with the touch of a button to turn your outdoor entertaining space into an outdoor room. The outdoor room becomes an extension of your home and best of all, can be enjoyed all year round!
