Distinct Shutters

This outdoor area has been made usable again!

The main issue here was the harsh afternoon sun hitting the patio and back of the house. The heat and glare made it uncomfortable to sit out there and enjoy the space.

Now, with the blinds installed, they can drop them down in the afternoon, stay cool and comfortable, and still look out over the pool area.

A simple solution that makes a big difference to how the space is used.

This porch in Halls Head used to cop the full force of the afternoon sun and strong westerly winds, making it a space that was rarely used.

With Ziptrak blinds installed, the area has been completely transformed. The homeowners can now choose when they use the space, not the weather — even on windy days, it’s calm and comfortable inside.

An added bonus is that it also allows their indoor cat to enjoy the outdoors safely, without the risk of escaping.

It’s a great example of how Ziptrak blinds can turn an exposed area into a usable, comfortable space and add real value to your home.

A recent install where we fitted 4 manual Ziptrak blinds and 1 fixed panel overlooking the pool.

The blinds now give the homeowners a shaded spot to sit behind while still being able to keep an eye on the pool — perfect for those hot afternoons.

We used our Streamline Pelmets in Paperbark, installed in a clean straight line so they blend neatly into the patio and keep the look seamless.
