What to consider when buying patio covers and awnings
We custom build and fit our outdoor blinds directly from our base of operations in Pakenham and Melbourne. Here are some answers to common questions from customers on our custom patio covers and awnings.
What role do you want your outdoor blind to fulfil?
When selecting outdoor blinds, it’s crucial to carefully consider your specific needs for the space. Are you looking for rain protection, shade from the summer heat, a sheltered area over your door or BBQ, or maybe extra privacy? A great first step is to consult with the experts at Clarks’ outdoor blinds. By discussing your requirements with our team, we can help you choose the ideal outdoor blind that meets your needs and enhances your outdoor area.
Climate
To find the perfect blind for your needs, it’s important to think about the environment where the blinds will be used and how often you plan to use them throughout the year. Do you envision enjoying your outdoor space mainly during the sunny summer months, or are you someone who loves being outside all year round? If it’s the latter, perhaps a waterproof retractable roof system might better suit your needs. Let’s consider these factors to ensure you choose the best option for your lifestyle and space.
Ease of use
Consider how often you’ll use this space – is it throughout the day, once daily, or just a few times a week? Would the convenience of motorised outdoor blinds that extend and retract with the push of a button be appealing to you? Maybe you’re interested in integrating the blinds with your smart home system for seamless operation.
Alternatively, you might prefer the simplicity of manually adjusting the blinds yourself.
Remember, the easier the blinds are to use, the more you’ll use them, enhancing their value and utility in your daily life.
Type of fabric
When choosing fabrics for your outdoor blinds, it’s important to revisit your climate needs to make sure the blinds can be used as frequently as desired. Are you in search of a semi-waterproof acrylic fabric to optimise shade, or would a see-through mesh better meet your needs?
Once we pinpoint your fundamental fabric requirements, we can focus on color selection. While the functionality of your blinds and their ability to withstand local weather conditions are paramount, the aesthetic aspect cannot be overlooked—you’ll want to enjoy looking at them every day. This is where our expertise comes into play. Clarks’ outdoor blind specialists have equipped numerous homes in West and South Gippsland with stylish solutions, and we’re here to ensure that the blinds you choose not only perform well but also significantly enhance the beauty of your property.
Energy efficiency
Outdoor blinds not only improve the aesthetics of your living space but also contribute to energy savings. By retaining heat during the winter, they can reduce your heating expenses, and by offering shade in the summer, they keep your space cooler. Tailored specifically for West and South Gippsland’s climate, Clarks’ outdoor blinds do more than just enhance your decor—they also help you cut down on energy costs!
