Residential Outdoor Blinds
Add style, privacy and long-term value to your home with our range of residential outdoor blinds. Designed to enhance both comfort and appearance, outdoor blinds improve street appeal while making your home more livable throughout the year.
Outdoor blinds allow you to extend your living space without the cost or disruption of a renovation. By enclosing areas such as pergolas, verandahs, balconies, decks and patios, they create sheltered outdoor rooms that can be enjoyed in all weather conditions. They help block wind, reduce glare and manage sunlight, while still maintaining a strong connection to the outdoors.
In addition to improving outdoor comfort, outdoor blinds support indoor living by reducing heat, glare and UV exposure through windows and openings. This helps keep your home cooler, protects furniture from fading and can lower energy costs over time. For waterfront homes, outdoor blinds are especially effective at minimising harsh sun reflection off the water.
Many of our outdoor blinds can be motorised for smooth, effortless operation, with automation options available including wind, sun and rain sensors. This allows your blinds to respond to changing conditions and maintain comfort and protection with minimal effort.

It can also be installed as an open fabric roll, with or without a cassette, or installed inside a reveal during construction. The base rail travels up and down either on aluminium side channels, stainless steel guide wires, or it can be fixed down with straps and saddles.
Choose from manual operation with a gearbox and crank handle or fully automatic operation that can be operated by a wall switch or remote control, with optional wind and sun sensors.
