OUTDOOR BLINDS
- This is a versatile and cost-effective product which allows you to create an extra “room” without any building plans needed, and at a fraction of the cost of other products such as frameless stacker doors.

- With aluminium rails on the sides and at the top, no velcro, and industrial rated zips; it is highly suitable for almost all weather conditions, including strong winds.
- The rope and pulley system extends the lifetime of the draw strings and ensures all mechanisms sitting flush against the wall, with no crank handle in the way or which must be stored away.
- These Outdoor Blinds can be ordered with or without windows, with a door, with a doggy hatch and with a fire curtain (when installed near the fireplace).
- A weather flap at the bottom keeps out almost 99% of direct rainfall.
- Marine grade bottom cleats and side cleats are used as standard.
- A De Luxe version is also available, where a stainless steel bottom pipe, eye hooks and pulleys together with colour co-ordinated draw strings are used, at an extra surcharge.
- This product is not a security product!
- PVC does not absorb water, which leads to material’s integrity being compromised in the long run.
- No matter what your needs are – this product ensures a beautiful, value adding, cost effective and durable divider or enclosure to any area of your home!

Colour Accuracy Policy
- Colour Accuracy Policy:
Although we do our best to make sure that the colours printed on our web site are accurate, actual colours will vary. In addition, subtle colour differences and textures may not be fully appreciated on some systems due to differences in monitors and/or display cards. Due to the fact that our products are all custom made, and can’t be returned, you need to be sure that you can live with any colour variations that are possible from our scanning of the actual samples. If an exact colour match is required, then please request a sample before placing your order. Once you receive your sample, keep in mind that all samples may still have minimal colour variations as stated by the manufacturers.
How to Measure
Double Rollers
Always use a metal tape measure and NOT a cloth one as these are known to stretch and thus be inaccurate. All blinds are made to specified measurements, therefore we, as the manufacturer, cannot be held responsible for incorrect sizes/dimensions given by the client. Faxed or emailed orders are thus preferred and NO verbal or telephonic orders will be accepted. All the sizes should be given accurately in MILLIMETRES. Blinds measurements must be PRECISELY FROM WALL TO WALL – we shall make the necessary deductions ourselves, except if you already know the blinds’ final dimensions in which case you must clearly indicate that fact, and that no deductions should be made.
- All measurements in mm
- Always work on the smallest measurements
- Measure where the blind will be installed in the opening (reveal / windowsill) – back (closer to the glass); centre (middle of windowsill / reveal) or front (closer to the edge of the windowsill)
- Always order WIDTH x DROP (HEIGHT) and not the other way around!
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS GIVE THE WIDTH FIRST, THEN THE DROP!
On a roller blind if you measure an existing old blind, measure from pin to pin of rod or tube (including the bracket set) which is called the pin-to-pin width. If you measure the cloth size or the width you wish the cloth to cover this must be specified as the cloth or fabric width.
Remember that the tube width with brackets will extend beyond the above explained fabric width. If a roller blind has to be placed on the outside of a window or behind a door it is always the safest to specify pin-to-pin width or fabric width to ensure that the glass section is covered completely by the fabric. Also remember to measure exact drop of blind. Do not add on fabric to cover the roll as this is done by us. Always specify on which side the control mechanism should be placed. The required components will be supplied for your DIY project. With roller and blinds also the width by height (drop), fabric range and colour or code, reveal, pin-pin (for rollers), fabric size (for rollers), face fit and control sides must be indicated on order. When measuring for face fit add ± 100mm for both width and drop.
Depending on the tube size used (either 32mm or 45mm as explained in the introduction) you will need a recess width of approximately 135mm for the 32mm double bracket and approximately 160mm for the 45mm double bracket, this for reveal fit (inside). The double bracket can however also be installed face fit (outside) which then means the bracket will be installed vertically and not horizontally (as with reveal fit).
For reveal fit we deduct as follows: on roller blinds we deduct 5mm off width and nothing off drop; on roman blinds we deduct 5mm off width and 10mm off drop, working to a tolerance of 3mm to 5mm. Remember to order correct blind size!!
