frequently Asked Question
Yes, but choose moisture-resistant materials. PVC and aluminium are best for bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens. These materials don’t rust or peel like untreated timber might. And they’re durable, hygienic, and perfect for wet-area performance.
- PVC: Best for wet or humid areas. It’s a versatile choice that works well in all rooms. A cost-effective option that is also durable.
- Timber: Great for dry living spaces. Offers a premium, warm finish with a more regal feel. Goes with most interior designs.
Both insulate well, but timber has a more luxurious, natural look. On the other hand, PVC is the more versatile option, especially ideal for busy households or families with kids and pets.
Yes, they are. Outdoor blinds are designed to withstand wind, sun, and even rain. They protect your privacy and help regulate heat so you can enjoy your space year-round, no matter the weather in the Hills or beyond. Many of our outdoor blind systems also come with UV protection and wind-rated options to suit exposed patios or balconies.
- Aluminium: Most motorisation-friendly, ideal for larger or hard-to-reach windows where manual operation isn’t practical
- Timber: Can be motorised with lightweight systems, but is less common due to weight limitations
- PVC: Generally not recommended due to weight and flexibility
