Outdoor blinds can make an alfresco usable year-round. Here’s what to think about before you compare options.
Count the openings
Each side of an alfresco or each window is usually treated separately. Rough widths and heights help, but a business will measure precisely.
Decide what you want to block
Sun and glare, wind and rain, insects, or privacy. Mesh, clear PVC and canvas each balance these differently.
Consider how you’ll operate them
Manual, spring-assisted or motorised. Motorised options need power nearby — mention whether there is an outlet.
Think about Perth conditions
Strong afternoon sea breezes and summer sun affect material choice. Ask how a system handles wind and UV exposure.
Ask about installation and warranty
Check what fixing points are needed and what the warranty covers. Confirm details directly with the business before agreeing to work.
