<p>Spending time outdoors is a big part of Australian culture. When it's time to open your doors, dust off the barbecue, gather your friends and family, and take the party outside, how do you make sure your alfresco area is summer-ready? </p>
<p>The simple answer? Outdoor shutters!</p>

<h2>Are outdoor shutters outdated? </h2>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-shutters">Outdoor shutters</a> (also referred to as external shutters) are definitely not outdated, and are a great option for your home, both in functionality and aesthetic appeal. </p>
<p>With a modern look and different colour options, outdoor shutters can look great and work well in your patio area. </p>

<h2>Why install outdoor shutters over other window coverings?</h2>
<p>Outdoor patio shutters are a very versatile product that not only look great but can help to create a more comfortable outdoor area, complete with shade, plus heat and wind protection.</p>

<h2>Types of outdoor shutters</h2>
<h3>Aluminium </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-shutters/aluminium">Aluminium shutters</a> are one of the most popular outdoor window covering options, due to their long-lasting and durable nature. These shutters are a great option as they can withstand the heat, wind, and rain. </p>

<h3>Bi-fold </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-shutters/bi-fold">Bi-fold shutters</a> are made up of multiple shutter panels which can slide to create a flat panel, and open up a space. </p>
<p>These shutters are a great option for giving your outdoor area added privacy as when they're shut, they act as a privacy screen and enclose that space. </p>

<h3>Hinged </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-shutters/hinged">Hinged outdoor shutters</a> are more used for coverage on windows or a half wall on your outdoor patio or alfresco area. These shutters open out on a hinge, allowing you to have more of the view or airflow if desired. </p>

<h2>Benefits of choosing outdoor shutters </h2>
<h3>Reduce the heat</h3>
<p>Outdoor alfresco shutters are one of the easiest ways to reduce the sun's heat and potentially harmful UV rays so you can still enjoy time outdoors, even in the middle of a typical Perth summer. </p>
<p>Their functional design means you can adjust the slats to allow as much light, ventilation, and heat in as you like. Outdoor shutters will also keep things much cooler all day long.</p>

<h3>Effortless style</h3>
<p>Outdoor shutters have an amazing way of turning a bland backyard into a cool, comfortable, and stylish area.</p>
<p>Choose from a range of classic or contemporary colours to match your outdoor d&eacute;cor. </p>
<p>You'll be sure to receive plenty of compliments once they're installed!</p>
<p>Learn more about all the different styles in our <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/complete-guide-to-shutters">complete guide to shutters</a>.</p>

<h3>Durable and low maintenance</h3>
<p>Designed to be robust and weather-resistant, outdoor alfresco shutters will hold up against the sun's UV rays, as well as winter's wind and rain. </p>

<h3>Plenty of privacy</h3>
<p>Privacy can often be lost when you're entertaining outside. Suburban houses are close together, neighbours can sometimes see over fences, and it's easy to hear what's going on with the people next door. </p>
<p>That's where outdoor patio shutters are great! With these exterior window treatments installed, you can keep your curious neighbours out of the conversation.</p>
<p>Simply rotate the adjustable blades until they're closed to keep prying eyes out and the noise of your gathering in! </p>
<p>They can also be used as doors, helping to create more of a semi-enclosed kind of entertaining space. </p>

<h2>How to clean outdoor shutters</h2>
<p>Keeping your external shutters clean is so important, as it means they're more likely to last and stay looking new for longer. </p>
<p>Cleaning doesn't need to take up a lot of time. By creating a regular schedule, it can make the process simple and not a hassle to do. </p>

<h2>How much do outdoor shutters cost?</h2>
<p>Outdoor alfresco shutters are one of the more expensive window covering options for your home, however they are considered to be a solid investment. </p>
<p>By investing in a long lasting window covering and keeping up with their maintenance, they are an asset to your home, particularly if you're thinking of selling at a later date. </p>

<h2>Considerations for patio blinds</h2>
<p>The best place to start when choosing the right outdoor window coverings is by looking at a few different factors and how each will impact the decision you make.</p>
<h3>Location</h3>
<p>Where you live is going to impact what the best patio blinds are for you. Some blinds are suitable for all areas however, some are better suited to areas with specific conditions like strong winds or rain. </p>
<h3>Wind</h3>
<p>Do you live in a coastal or wind-prone area? Patio blinds with a higher wind rating are going to be your best option as they are made with stronger materials, designed with high wind speeds in mind. </p>
<h3>Style</h3>
<p>While there aren't as many style considerations for outdoor blinds as there are for indoor blinds, when it comes to choosing the right patio blinds, it's good to think about if:</p>

<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
    <li>You want a fully enclosed space (or the flexibility to fully enclose)?</li>
    <li>You want a see through fabric to maintain views or do you need more privacy? </li>
</ol>

<h2>Types of patio blinds </h2>
<h3>Cafe patio blinds</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/patio-blinds">Café patio blinds</a> are a great option for your outdoor area! These blinds are available in different material options including canvas, sunscreen, and PVC, giving you the flexibility you need to find the right fit for your needs. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/patio-blinds/pvc">PVC patio blinds</a> are a durable option as they're made from a plastic material. PVC blinds will also give you unrestricted views as they're made using a transparent plastic. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/patio-blinds/sunscreen">Sunscreen fabric patio blinds</a> are perfect for reducing the amount of incoming light, as these shades work by softening light that filters through the sunscreen fabric. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/patio-blinds/canvas">Canvas patio blinds</a> are made from a sturdy fabric, helping to provide outdoor sun protection for years to come, as well as reducing the impact from the elements. </p>

<h3>Windmaster blinds</h3>
<p>For wind-prone or coastal areas, <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/windmaster-blinds">Windmaster blinds</a> are one of your best patio blind options. </p>
<p>These outdoor blinds are designed in Western Australia, with our weather conditions in mind, so you know they're built to last. Unlike other blinds, Windmaster blinds won't flap around during strong winds, which not only is annoying, but can also be a safety hazard. Instead, Windmaster blinds have been designed with features like heavy-duty base rails, locks, and heavy-duty channels to minimise any fabric movement.</p>

<h3>Alpha M blinds</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/alpha-m-outdoor-blinds">Alpha M blinds</a> are another blind option with wind and harsh weather conditions in mind. </p>
<p>These sturdy blinds are made with special magnets called neodymium magnets, which help keep the fabric taut at all times, therefore making them stronger against the harsh elements the blinds might be exposed to.</p>

<h3>Zipscreen blinds</h3>
<p>If you're looking to create an enclosed outdoor to entertain all year round with, <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/zipscreen-blinds">Zipscreen blinds</a> are a great patio blind option for you. Zipscreen blinds provide ground to ceiling coverage and can add on an extra space without undergoing a costly home renovation. </p>
<p>Zipscreen Blinds are made in Perth, so you're guaranteed to get blinds that are suitable for the harsh Western Australian weather conditions. These blinds will help to reduce harmful UV rays, protecting not only your outdoor furniture but also your skin.</p>

<p>Whether it's a hot summer day or a chilly winter evening, these patio blinds can block out wind, rain, heat and some damaging UV light.</p>
<p>These blinds are suitable for all areas without channels, as fixing points can be secured to the ground rather than directly onto walls. Wireguide awnings are another durable external blind option ideal for coastal properties, or everyday suburban homes. </p>

<h2>Motorised patio blinds </h2>
<p>Did you know that some outdoor patio blinds can be motorised? Our <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/motorised-blinds">SmartHub motorisation</a> option allows up to 20 sets of blinds to be connected and motorised throughout your home, including some outdoor blinds. </p>

Guide to Choosing the Best Patio Blinds

<h2>Choosing the best blinds and curtains for your office </h2>
<p>If you have a smaller window, you have a bit more flexibility in choosing window coverings. Smaller windows with less incoming light don't need so much light control, so blind options like Roller blinds or Roman blinds can work well! </p>
<p>If you have larger windows with the potential for a lot of incoming light, blinds with slats like shutters or Venetian blinds, are great options as they can filter out make it easier to direct the light where you want it.  </p>

<h2>Benefits of office blinds</h2>
<h3>Reduce on-screen glare</h3>
<p>Direct sunlight can be a joy in the comfort of your own home, but in an office environment, it can be disrupting. One of the main reasons why office blinds are installed is to minimise screen glare, so that you can continue to work efficiently throughout the entire year.</p>

<h3>Helps increase energy efficiency </h3>
<p>With window coverings installed, you'll save money on your electricity bills!</p>
<p>Indoor office blinds help to insulate the windows, preventing sun (and therefore heat) from entering the room. As a result, the need for air conditioning reduces, saving you money. Plus, as a result of less sunlight entering the space, your office furniture will also be protected from fading and discolouration over time.</p>

<h3>Can boost mood</h3>
<p>It's been suggested that having regular access to sunlight can boost your mood! While you might be stuck in an office most days, you can still have some sunshine while maintaining productivity with the right blinds.</p>

<div class="blog__view__img__box">
    <img src="/images/blog/media/office-blinds-study-2.jpg"/>
</div>
<h2>What type of blinds are best for offices? </h2>
<p>While there are many types of <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/blinds">indoor blinds</a> to choose from, not all blinds are recommended for an office environment. Keep reading to find out our top picks. </p>

<h3>Venetian blinds </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds">Venetian blinds</a> are made of thin horizontal slats, which can be angled to direct or block incoming light. The main benefit of these blinds is that the angling of the slats can be incredibly precise, giving you plenty of control of where your light is being directed.</p>
<p>Venetians are also one of the most affordable blinds on the market, however, this isn't an indication of their quality and usefulness.</p>
<p>These blinds have many benefits, the biggest being that they maintain coverage while your blinds are open, as the slats still give you privacy while allowing plenty of light to fill your room.</p>
<p>They're also available in a range of materials, including aluminium, timber, and timber-look.</p>

<h3>Double Roller blinds</h3>
<p>Double Rollers are made from two sheets of fabric and often combine two different fabric types, doubling their functionality.  </p>
<p>We recommend choosing a combination of sunscreen and blockout fabric for your Double Rollers. The sunscreen fabric shade will reduce glare during the day without disrupting your view whenever you feel like gazing out the window for a change of scenery.</p>
<p>These blinds also offer great amounts of privacy as you can still have one fabric rolled down while the other is rolled up, letting in much more natural light!</p>

<h3>Roller blinds </h3>
<p>Office <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/roller-blinds">Roller blinds</a> are one of the most economical window blinds you can buy. With a single roll of fabric that can be hidden in a sleek, stylish headbox, these blinds can blend in seamlessly in any setting. </p>
<p>We recommend customising your blinds with sunscreen fabric, as it helps to reduce heat and glare without disrupting views. </p>

<h3>Vertical blinds </h3>
<p>If your office has large windows or sliding doors in need of coverage, <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/vertical-blinds">Vertical blinds</a> are the perfect choice. </p>
<p>Vertical blinds are great for preventing on-screen glare and controlling privacy. Plus, they can also be used to divide a room for a much more affordable price than the cost of constructing office partitions or renovating. </p>

<div class="blog__view__img__box">
    <img src="/images/blog/media/office-blinds-study.jpg"/>
</div>
<h2>Curtain options for your office</h2>
<p>If you don't like the idea of office blinds, why not consider a curtain option instead.</p>

<h3>Vertisheers</h3>
<p>Have you heard of <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/vertisheers">Vertisheers</a>? This is a unique product which can be considered both a curtain and blind in one.</p>
<p>Vertisheers have the functionality of a Vertical blind, with the look and feel of a sheer curtain.</p>

<h3>Office blinds paired with sheers</h3>
<p>A popular window covering option is to pair blinds with curtains, in particular, <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/curtains/material-sheer">sheer curtains</a>. </p>
<p>Sheer curtains are made from a translucent fabric, making them only partially see through, and a great addition to hang over blinds as they help to light filtering while adding privacy to your office.</p>
<p>Sheers can also help your space feel more elegant and larger, especially if they are hung above your windowsill. </p>

<h2>Office shutters</h2>
<p>Another great window covering option for your office is <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters">indoor shutters</a>. There are many types of shutters available, including different material options and styles. Two popular options are:</p>

<h3>Aluminium shutters </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/aluminium">Aluminium shutters</a> are a stylish and versatile window covering which offers great privacy and light control. These shutters are available in a range of colours (not just your standard aluminium silver-grey), and are one of the most durable blind options from our range. </p>

<h3>Basswood shutters </h3>
<p>For a more upmarket look, <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/basswood">basswood shutters</a> can add that extra bit of elegance to your home office. These shutters give you plenty of light control, and a natural look to your décor. </p>

<h2>Cleaning office blinds </h2>
<p>Cleaning office blinds is no different to cleaning other blinds in your home. </p>
<p>Making cleaning your window coverings part of your regular cleaning schedule can help them to look nice and new for longer, as well as reduce the build-up of dust or other particles.</p>
<p>The best way to clean them is to regularly wipe them over with a cleaning cloth or duster.</p>
<p>If they need a deeper clean or have a dirty mark on them, you can use a cloth dampened with soapy water to dab over the dirty spots. Make sure not to use too much water as it takes longer to dry and might drown the fabric.</p>

<p>If you're after a more elegant looking finish to your space, Vertisheers are a great option. The sheer material helps filter light in a way that gives your room a soft glow, making your space feel welcoming and that little bit more luxurious than what you'd get from Vertical blinds alone. </p>
<p>Having two window coverings can sometimes look cluttered. With Vertisheers, you're only hanging one product and one track, meaning you'll have a sleeker look to your windows.</p>

<h3>Privacy </h3>
<p>When Vertisheers are opened, the sheer fabric allows the natural light into your home, along with a clear view of the outside world. </p>
<p>When they're closed, you have a great block-out product, which will provide you with maximum privacy.</p>

<h3>Many colours options</h3>
<p>Vertisheer blinds are available in a wide range of modern colours, like silver, grey, black, white, and cream. </p>
<p>These gorgeous neutral colours will suit any style of room with ease. </p>

<h2>How to clean Vertisheers</h2>
<p>One of the greatest advantages of Vertisheers is how low maintenance they are. </p>
<p>To clean them, all you need to do is brush them every so often to make sure they stay free of any dust and debris that may be in the air.</p>
<p>If they get any spots or dirt marks on them, spot cleaning is the way to go. This involves using a microfiber cloth with some warm and soapy water, and gently dabbing the area where the mark is. Make sure not to scrub the material as this can cause damage to the fibres. </p>

Guide to Vertisheer Blinds

<h2>What to consider when choosing blinds for sliding doors</h2>
<p>When it comes to choosing blinds for your sliding door or patio door, look for blinds that:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Won't hinder the use of the doors or obstruct traffic flow</li>
    <li>Will allow for as much light control and privacy as you want or need</li>
    <li>Will enhance the design and décor of the room</li>
    <li>Don't require a lot of overhead space for installation</li>
    <li>Are simple to move out the way when using the door </li>
</ul>

<h2>What blinds are best for sliding doors?</h2>
<p>When choosing sliding door blinds, the main consideration is to choose a blind which slides across a track, rather than one which hangs in place, or is rolled up or down.</p>
<p>Here are our top recommendations for blinds for your sliding doors.</p>

<h3>Vertical blinds </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/vertical-blinds">Vertical blinds</a> are one of the most popular blind options on the market, as they're incredibly easy to use, provide good light control and privacy, and are very versatile in terms of where they can be installed. </p>
<p>These blinds are made up of vertical slats which can be moved along a track to open and close or can be angled to give you the direction of light you want.</p>
<p>It's a well-known interior design &lsquo;trick of the trade' to use vertical stripes in a room to give the illusion of height. This makes verticals great for sliding glass doors, as their vertical fabric panels can make a space seem bigger than it really is, in addition to offering complete light control and privacy. </p>
<p>They also give you easy access to your sliding glass doors as the vertical fabric panels can be pulled to either side of the doors to give you unrestricted door access.</p>
<p>Vertical blinds are also one of the most affordable blind options, making them a great option to consider.</p>

<h3>Panel blinds </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/panel-blinds">Panel blinds</a> (also called Panel Glide blinds) are very similar to Vertical blinds, with the distinct difference in that the vertical fabric panels are much thicker. Panel blinds have a seamless design and are available in a wide range of fun and modern colours.</p>
<p>These blinds are light, easy to operate and available in translucent, sunscreen and blockout fabrics, to offer the right level of light control, privacy, and UV protection for your home.</p>
<p>Panel blinds offer a bit more luxury than a Vertical blind, however both are just as effective at controlling the light, giving you privacy, and still maintaining your sliding door access.</p>

<h3>Vertisheer blinds </h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/vertisheers">Vertisheer blinds</a> are a unique product in that they are considered to be both a blind and curtain in one! Vertisheers combine the function of Vertical blinds, with the fabric look and use of sheer curtains, giving you a luxury look for a lower price.</p>
<p>This makes them a <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/blog/vertisheer-blinds-are-great-for-sliding-doors">great option for sliding doors</a>. With a simple twist of the easy-to-use cord, you can let plenty of natural light into your home and enjoy a clear view of the outside world at the same time. </p>
<p>These blinds also allow easy access to your backyard or patio, as they can be bunched or pulled back in different ways.</p>

<h2>Alternative window coverings for sliding doors</h2>
<h3>Bi-fold plantation shutters </h3>
<p>Shutters might not be the first product you think of when it comes to covering sliding glass doors, but they offer a <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/blog/top-4-reasons-to-choose-plantation-shutters-for-sliding-doors">number of benefits.</a> </p>
<p>We recommend <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/sliding-door-shutters">bi-fold sliding shutter</a>s for sliding doors, as they can be easily folded away to access the door or even just to enjoy the view. </p>
<p>Sliding shutters are also a great choice for this area of the home, as the operation is identical to that of a sliding door (as the name suggests).</p>
