Outdoor Awnings and Blinds
Launceston Curtains can offer a solution to all of your Outdoor Blind or Awning needs. For our Australian environment, with its harsh sun and strong UV rays during the summer season, shade outdoors has become almost mandatory in order to protect ourselves from those dangerous beams. Launceston Curtains is an excellent choice for anyone looking keep themselves safe and out of the sun during the warmer seasons.
An Awning is an overhanging cover that protects the window beneath it from being exposed to rain, wind and sun. Awnings have been proven to reduce heat gain up to 77% on west-facing windows which are usually more susceptible due to their proximity to the setting sun. The different types of materials for outdoor awnings can vary, with canvas as the most popular option because of its durability and lower price point, which makes it less expensive than other options like metal or wood.
Retractable Awnings are a space-saving, convenient solution for homeowners who want to enjoy their yard without sacrificing comfort. Retractable arm and pivot arm styles offer manual or motorized operation and can even be remote controlled through an app on your smartphone! There's no better way of enjoying your home than with the protection from sun rays offered by retracting roof coverage!
Fixed Awnings provide permanent protection from the sun's rays, windy days, or rain and snow. Fixed in place on your building’s exterior, or even free-standing, they are durable, stable and very functional. They can sometimes require more maintenance than retractable awnings due to their constant exposure to the elements. Fixed awnings are also able to utilise movable panels to block out sunlight during those hot summer months or for better ventilation with the ability to direct airflow.
Outdoor Blinds are definitely a popular and smart investment for your outdoor space. They block out the sun in warmer months, as well as wind and rain during cooler times of year. The more robust styles have minimal movement against heavy winds, so they can be used to create an area that is partially open but still protected from insects or harsh weather conditions, hot or cold! Outdoor blinds look great on patios, balconies, and al-fresco spaces, and with the right design you could even use them to make these areas into ‘outdoor rooms’ which allow you extra privacy while enjoying nature at its best! Outdoor Blinds are a good choice for anyone who wants practical protection outdoors without sacrificing aesthetics because there's no denying the classy look they deliver.
Modern Outdoor Blinds are usually installed into frames with tracks, rather than being free-hanging. The means they are more robust, and also able to fully enclose a space with no gaps for weather of insects to enter. It also allows remote controlled operation to raise and loser them.
