At Hobart Curtains, we are always looking for ways to help our customers find the perfect solution when it comes to shade. For those of us who live in a harsh environment like Australia where sun protection is absolutely necessary during summer months, outdoor blinds or awnings can provide that all-important barrier between your family and the Sun’s harsh UV rays. At Hobart Curtains, we believe there's something out there for everyone's outdoor needs!

Outdoor Awnings are overhanging coverings which are usually attached to the exterior wall of a building. They are especially effective at decreasing the amount of sunlight accessing your home. For example, if you live in an area with intense sun and high temperatures year-round then an outdoor awning is perfect to provide shade for windows on west facing walls, that will help keep your house cool inside without using electricity or air conditioning!


The materials for outdoor awnings can vary, with popular types including canvas, polyester, cotton metal and wood. It is worth noting that the most common material used in these products are canvases due to their durability and lower price range. There are also many different styles of retractable awnings available such as folding arm or pivot arm which provide space saving solutions when not being used by folding back on themselves. Retractable operation can be achieved in both manual and motorised versions, even with the ability to control then from your smart phone!


Fixed awnings are permanently fixed to your building’s exterior and are best for providing permanent shade for your building. They can require more maintenance than retractable models because of their exposure, but they are usually comprised of more durable materials because of this fact. Some fixed awnings can come with movable panels that help block out light as well as being able to direct airflow for better ventilation of an area during hotter months - perfect for those who want permanent protection.


Outdoor Blinds are the perfect addition to your outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios or al-fresco areas. They offer many benefits including blocking out not only the sun in warmer months but wind and rain during cooler seasons! The more robust styles provide minimal blind movement against strong winds so they can be a great complement for an outside space that keeps you protected from weather while also offering natural light through see-through panels.


Outdoor Blinds are a fairly recent innovation in the window furnishings industry, but they're quickly becoming one of the most popular products. Modern Outdoor Blinds can be installed into your outdoor spaces and provide protection from all sorts of weather without blocking out too much light or compromising on style. You'll also have more control over how much breeze you want to let through than with traditional curtains - perfect for those days when it's not quite warm enough outside yet!


Exterior blinds use base rails, locks and channels to ensure that they fit perfectly against your home’s structure while still being able to open up completely at any time if need be. They are also able to be motorised for ease of use.
