Exterior Patio Blinds

Shutter Blinds Ballarat

Coming into the warmer months we begin to spend a lot more time in the great outdoors. Australians love to entertain but sometimes the weather means it can be a little difficult to have our Aussie BBQ when it’s windy, raining or extremely hot. That’s where Davidson’s Patio Blinds can be the solution. Patio Blinds are the ideal way to enclose your patio, balcony, pergola or verandah to create the perfect outdoor entertainment area all year round.

The Advantages of Patio Blinds (also known as Cafe Blinds or Bistro Blinds)

  • Extend Your Space – Patio Blinds can enclose your outdoor area to make a much larger space for you to use in all seasons. Whether you’re entertaining friends or clients, celebrating a party, or just needing extra room for your children to play, patio blinds can add another room to your home or office, which is fully protected to withstand the elements.
  • Protection from Wind, Rain or Insects – There’s nothing more frustrating then the wind, rain, flies or mosquitoes ruining your celebrations. The benefits of Patio Blinds are they can be fully closed to shelter you and your guests or clients from the cold weather, dust and insects.
  • UV Protection – Patio Blinds keep your home or business cooler by reflecting more than half the heat that would enter your house or office. They can also protect your furniture and furnishings from fading due to sun glare. When the mercury rises they also provide additional shade and keep the area cooler and comfortable.
  • Privacy – Patio Blinds come in a clear PVC option which allows you to maintain the open space and view, but there are also solid coloured canvas options or block out options to enclose your area and maintain full privacy.
  • Noise Control – With the Patio Blinds closed you can block out noise from external sources such as loud neighbours or traffic.

Custom Style – Davidson’s Patio Blinds are available in a wide range of colours, fabrics and textures to suit everything from older style period homes to more contemporary businesses. Regardless of your style our consultants can customise blinds to suit any area, making your space more functional and impress your visitors.

Versatile – Patio Blinds come in a variety of options including Spring operated, Rope & pulley system, Gearbox driven, Manual control or Motorised remote control. Our expert staff work with you to determine what option is the most suitable for your home or office.

Panel Glide Blinds for Your Home or Office

Shutter Blinds Ballarat

Davidson’s Blinds and Shutters have been helping our customers choose the right blinds for their home or office for more than 20 years. When choosing blinds for residences or commercial buildings we notice our customers each have an individual style, therefore we offer a wide range of colours and fabrics to suit any room decor. Our range of custom blinds and shutters include Roller Blinds, Roman Blinds, Timber Shutters, Venetian Blinds, Vertical Blinds or our more modern and innovative style “Panel Glide Blinds”.
Panel Glides are a popular choice for a range of reasons, but especially due to being ideally suited to homes or offices with large windows, sliding doors or bi-fold doors. Let us explain the benefits of Panel Glide Blinds in more detail.

What are Panel Glide Blinds?
Panel Glides are blinds made from individual flat fabric panels which glide along a light and easy tracking system. They are operated by using a simple “control wand” which can be designed to glide the panels left or right, or both ways depending on the style and size of the window or door you have. The control wand is also a child friendly alternative as there are no dangling cords or chains.

Why Choose Panel Glide Blinds?
Panel Glide Blinds are a sleek and contemporary choice for your modern home or office. The large panels are custom made to suit any size window, sliding door or bi-fold door. When the blinds are open they neatly stack behind one another, which saves space and allows full access to your outside area, without blocking your view. The other benefits of Panel Glides are they are very versatile. Panel Glides are available in a full blockout fabric to protect you from the sun and maintain privacy, or you may prefer a light filtering fabric so you can control the amount of light entering the room, or you can match them with another blind such as Roman Blinds to add more sophistication to your room or office.

The Benefits of Davidson’s Panel Glide Blinds
At Davidson’s we have a wide range of colours and Australian made fabrics available including textured, reflective or plain, or more daring bold patterns and prints. All our Panel Glide Blinds come with a four year written warranty and comply with Australian Safety Standards, so you can be reassured that your blinds are of the highest quality. Our experienced staff are also available to provide you with a free measure and quote whether you live or work in Buninyong, Daylesford, Creswick or locally in Ballarat, we can come to you and provide advice about matching your decor or interior.

Blockout Blinds Ballarat

Blockout Blinds Ballarat

As winter approaches the temperatures in Ballarat reduce dramatically, meaning our heaters become one of our best friends! This also means the cost of our electricity bills increase, but a great way to keep the heat in your home or office, is by installing Blockout blinds, also known as Blackout Blinds.
Blockout blinds are a fantastic way to insulate your home or office and save you energy costs, but they also have many other benefits, so let us explain in more detail why blockout blinds are a great choice for your window coverings.

Warmth – As mentioned blockout blinds improve the temperature in your room by keeping in the warmth during colder days and reducing the load on your heater,. Although during hot weather they also reflect heat and reduce the sun glare in your room, making your home and office cooler. Due to these energy saving benefits, blockout blinds can help improve your energy efficiency and reduce the cost of your electricity bills.

Darkness – Blockout blinds are made of a 100% blockout fabric and when fitted correctly they completely block out the amount of light entering the room. Due to having zero light transmission, blockout blinds make the room darker meaning they are perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms, TV and movie rooms. Many people also use blockout blinds in their office or study as they also help reduce the glare on computer screens. Blockout blinds are also suitable in children’s rooms to help them sleep longer, for light sleepers, for shift workers and those needing day naps, or for use in built up areas where street lights can shine in and affect your sleep.

Privacy – Unlike translucent blinds and sunscreen blinds which you can see through at night when lights are on, blockout blinds provide the perfect privacy. They are made of a strong thicker fabric which people can not see through during the day or at night. This is ideal if you are working at your office late in the evening, or if you are wanting privacy from neighbours, or if you are just needing added security.

Noise – Due to being made of a thicker lining and having insulation properties, blockout blinds can help reduce noise from entering and leaving the room. This is of course ideal when using in movie rooms, meeting rooms in your workplace, or in bedrooms to reduce the level of noise from the outdoor environment such as traffic.

Stylish – Blockout blinds are available in many styles, colours, patterns and textures, so at Davidson’s Blinds and Shutters we have the perfect blind to match your decor. Our blockout blinds also come with a UPF Rating of 50+, are mould, mildew, fade, dust and fire resistant and come with our 4 year written warranty, so you know you are buying quality.

Versatile – Blockout blinds can be used on their own, or they can be used in a dual blind set up with our popular sunscreen blind, to allow light to enter during the day, then pull down the blockout blind in the evening to create darkness. Blockout blinds are also very effective when used with curtains and we also have them available in a range of blind styles including roller blinds, roman blinds, vertical blinds or panel glides.

If you are interested in purchasing blockout blinds, then please come along to our Ballarat store and see our showroom at 617-619 Howitt Street Wendouree. Our friendly and experienced staff can assist you in choosing the right style to compliment your decor and furnishings. We also make custom blockout blinds to suit any size window, so you can be assured they will fit perfectly every time!
