Benefits Of Custom External Blinds

Cool Outdoor Living provides outdoor blinds Sunshine Coast homes and businesses can depend on for durable, high-quality performance.

A customised blind service lets you do things your way. No matter what type of blinds you're looking for, what area they need to cover or how you want them to look, a customised blind service can meet your requirements.

Perfect for people with an awkwardly shaped space that they want to be covered by blinds, custom blinds are also a good fit for customers who want something a little different and unique or have an idea for a one-off blind solution for a particular project they're considering.

No matter what type of outdoor space you might have, we can create attractive, low-maintenance outdoor blinds that provide a range of functional benefits as well as looking amazing.

Durable & Long Lasting

Our outdoor blinds are usually made from aluminium. This is a very lightweight metal that's also extremely strong.

Resistant to water, changes in temperature, biological deterioration and UV light, aluminium is the perfect choice for long-lasting blinds.

Each blind is powder-coated with colour. The powder coating ensures an even colour layer that's firmly fixed in place.

The result is a blind that looks stunning at the same time as being built to last.

Low Maintenance

Aluminium outdoor blinds don't require resealing, coating or any other regular treatment. Aside from wiping down in dusty weather, they will keep looking good for many years with no further work.

Optimise Your Outdoor Space

Whether you want to create additional seating for a commercial venture, or would like to use your home's outdoor space on more days of the year for entertaining, relaxing, dining or as an additional workspace, exterior blinds can make this happen.

Versatile enough to fit around almost any outdoor area, exterior blinds provide instant privacy, as well as a weather-proof structure that offers all the benefits of interior space, with the added advantage of the fresh air and attractive ambience that the outdoors brings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Outdoor living is a big deal here on the Sunshine Coast – we know how great it feels to have our loved ones gathered and how important it is to be able to keep everyone safe. To make sure all your friends and family are comfortable when they come to visit, Cool Outdoor Living has a super wide range of outdoor blinds for you to choose from.

How do outdoor blinds keep you cool and safe?

We love the sunshine, but we know how dangerous it can be too. Choosing a quality outdoor blind means you can enjoy the great outdoors safely and comfortably.

Outdoor blinds are adjustable, so you can adapt them to suit you and your guests and adjust them as the sun moves throughout the day and into the evening. As well as protecting against heat and glare, our blinds will help to screen you and your family from harmful UV rays.
How do outdoor blinds improve privacy?

With a choice of cool aluminium or cleverly designed fabric, outdoor blinds give you even more control over your space. You can choose a solid aluminium for ultimate privacy or a fabric blind that means no compromise on views.

All our blinds are designed to be operated with ease, so you can open and close them with minimum fuss. There are no tricky cords or pulleys, and because our blinds are custom made, you can be sure of a perfect fit with no annoying gaps.
Are outdoor blinds good for businesses?

Our outdoor blinds are a real boon for businesses too. If you own a café or restaurant, you can relax knowing your customers will be able to linger over their food and maybe order that extra drink or dessert.

For other businesses, outdoor blinds mean customers and other visitors can wait in comfort, and comfortable customers means better business. Choosing customised outdoor blinds means you can represent your brand colours too, as well as showing your customers how much you care.
Can outdoor blinds add atmosphere to a space?

As well as being super practical, outdoor blinds can really add to your garden's aesthetic. You can use them to screen off particular areas to create a feeling of space.

Outdoor blinds can help you create dedicated zones for your outdoor space too – perhaps a chillout zone for your teens, a safe space for little ones or a great space for an outdoor kitchen. Many of our blinds can be accessorised with cool LED lighting too so you can create a really unique look for your space.
Can I leave my outdoor blinds up all year 'round?

In most cases, yes. Outdoor blinds are extremely durable. Not only are they resistant to damage by moisture and/or UV light, but they're also tough and can withstand changes in temperature, salt and most weather conditions.

The only occasion when it might be advisable to roll your outdoor blinds up is when severe winds are forecast. If a heavy gust of wind catches a blind at the wrong angle, there's potential for it to twist or warp.
How do I keep my outdoor blinds clean?

Outdoor blinds don't get dirty easily, which is great news if you want to keep maintenance to a minimum. They don't attract biological contaminants such as mould or moss, and pollutants such as dust, airborne dirt or bird mess can be simply washed away using a hose or a damp cloth.

No special cleaning products are needed and there's no need to have a regular cleaning schedule. Just washing down the blinds on a regular basis is normally enough to keep them looking fantastic.
What are the advantages of outdoor blinds, vs indoor blinds?

Outdoor blinds can be tailored to cover almost any aperture - there's no need to fit them over a standard window or door, they can be fitted over gaps. They're also attractive and weatherproof. Like indoor blinds, they can be adjusted as required to alter airflow, the amount of sunlight and/or the degree of privacy in the interior space.

Outdoor blinds can be used to turn outdoor space into a space that's private, shaded and ventilated.
Are outdoor blinds a secure covering for a window aperture?

Not unless they are purpose-made to be secure. Outdoor blinds can be fitted with locks, and/or made from heavy-duty materials. Particularly when installed in front of windows and doors, they can provide a significant level of security.

That said, in most cases, outdoor blinds are primarily intended to provide shade and privacy, rather than security. The area surrounded by outdoor blinds would usually be a verandah, outdoor conservatory or similar, rather than a place where valuables are stored.
Are outdoor blinds suitable for use near a chlorine-purified pool?

Yes! Outdoor blinds are resistant to most contaminants, including the odd splash of chlorinated water from the pool. They're also resistant to damage from saltwater - good news if you've got a saltwater pool. They are a great option for a pool where privacy is preferred, as they can be mounted on the existing pool wall to hide pool occupants from view.
Can you buy stand alone outdoor blinds?

Outdoor blinds need to be fastened to some sort of structure to operate correctly. They can be used to cover all the sizes of a gazebo or similar outdoor shelter, but you would need a roof or awning, as well as structural supports. If you've got a challenging structure you want blinds fitted to, get in touch and we'll be happy to come up with a suitable solution for your project.
