How To Choose Outdoor Blinds

Guide To Choosing The Perfect Outdoor Blinds For Your Space

Mar 29, 2021 | Toowoomba Shade & Canvas

In Toowoomba, we are used to the all-round warm weather and vibrant sunshine. However, did you know you can put the sun to good use? Yes, couple the sun with a set of outdoor blinds and reap the benefits, from lower energy bills to a reflective heat space to dry your washing outside!


However, choosing your outdoor blinds is not as simple as first it seems. Here at Toowoomba Shade and Canvas, we stock a variety of different blind options, just to make choosing a little harder for you!


Whatever the reason for choosing outdoor blinds, we have compiled a short and effective guide on what you should consider before choosing your outdoor blinds. Relax, we will have you kitted out with the finest blinds in no time!

What Is The Purpose?

Different outdoor blinds cater to different needs. As exclusive providers of urban track blinds, we can design them in any colour, which makes them particularly popular amongst those looking to maximise on an outdoor or entertainment area of the home. 


They also cover all weathers, assisting with heat reduction in Toowoomba’s 32.7778°C highs, and cool retention in the rare but chilly -13.8889°C lows. However, if you’re looking to completely maximise shade and privacy, slide track blinds may be a better option. 


Similarly, ziptrak blinds are better when hoping to cater for those small nooks and crannies of sunlight in your home, given that we offer complete, bespoke customisation to fit any outdoor window with a sealed barrier around the edges for full coverage.

What Is Your Home Aesthetic?

It’s not all about efficiency, outdoor blinds have to match the décor too! 


If style is what you’re going for, multi-stop blinds are a great option. They come in a range of colours and styles and are easy to use – making style and colour their primary function. 


Alternatively, if you’re looking for a more refined and traditional option, cord and pulley blinds may be a better option for you. 


At Toowoomba Shade and Canvas, we offer a wide range of fabrics for your cord and pulley blinds, including cloth, mesh, and canvas.

What Is Your Budget?

Depending on what your purpose is, your budget will fluctuate – and so will the choices available to you. 


If you’re looking for a more economical choice, cord and pulley blinds are a good option given their traditional rather than motorised functioning. 


By comparison, if you’re after top-quality and all-round investment-worthy outdoor blinds, you may wish to consider fixed panel doors instead. 


All our products and services are of the highest quality and you can be sure that cost-effectiveness is our main priority!

At Toowoomba Shade and Canvas, we offer a wide range of outdoor blind options. These include urban track, auto guide, gearbox roller blinds, multi-stop blinds, and much more!
