Patio Blinds & Sails FAQs
What type of blinds works best for a patio in Perth?
For Perth patios, track guided systems are the most practical choice. Unlike channel-only systems, track guided blinds use vertical tracks within a channel on each side to secure the fabric, preventing the sides from flapping in the wind and creating a sealed barrier that keeps out dust, dirt, and insects. This matters in Perth specifically, where the Fremantle Doctor can arrive suddenly and with force. Mesh fabrics suit open, breezy aspects well, while PVC is better suited to patios that need full weather enclosure.
What can I use instead of vertical blinds on my patio?
Vertical blinds are an older, indoor-oriented solution that tends to struggle in the elements. Track guided outdoor patio blinds are a far more capable replacement, offering weather resistance, UV protection, and a much cleaner look suited to outdoor conditions. Options range from PVC fabrics that deliver full blockout, ideal for west-facing patios where afternoon glare is relentless, to solar mesh that filters light and insects while still allowing airflow. Motorised versions add the convenience of a single button operation. An on-site measure and quote will confirm the right system for your specific opening dimensions and exposure.
What are the best outdoor patio blinds in Australia?
Ziptrak is a patented Australian invention, and its track guided design is one of the most widely used patio blind systems in the country, largely because it’s built to handle real Australian conditions rather than just look good on a spec sheet. The main choice comes down to fabric and operation type:
- Mesh Fabric: Filters glare, allows airflow, and blocks insects. Well suited to covered patios with good overhead protection.
- PVC Fabric: Fully weatherproof. Ideal for exposed or open patios where rain and wind are a regular factor.
- Manual Operation: Spring balanced for easy, cord-free movement. Stops and locks at any height.
- Motorised Operation: Suited to wider spans or second-storey installations where manual operation is less practical.
Ziptrak blinds are available up to 6 metres wide and, when fitted with sunscreen mesh, provide up to 99% UV protection and 96% wind and rain blockout.
