Why Are These Factors Not Included?
Basically the factors above are not included in this post because it will get all too confusing. This is because there is quite a lot of variation in each of the above factors.
While they are common additions to outdoor blinds, each company has different standards and recommendations. So let’s have a look at each one.
Installation
Motorisation
Not all motors are the same. Even within the same class and/or manufacturer. Most manufacturers have various ranges depending on requirements and budget.
Motorisation for outdoor blinds can also include a lot of additional features. These features may be wind sensors, sun sensors, movement sensors as well as integration with smart home apps.
Head Boxes or Hoods
Ziptrak, Zipscreen and Slidetrack blinds all have their own hood and head box options – and multiples of. Depending on the situation, you may want a hood or a full pelmet.
You might also want a fully extruded head box for extra strength or a roll formed head box for protection and finished look.
What Should I Do If I Want to Buy Outdoor Blinds?
If you are wanting to buy outdoor blinds there a number of things we would recommend.
- Get multiple quotes – just because a company says they have a sale or the sales rep says its a great deal doesn’t mean it is.
- Get specifics on the quote – trying to compare quotes can be difficult. Details on quotes are often scarce. Taking notes is a great way to ensure you can compare apples with apples. (we include a notes section in our brochure for this reason)
- Remember that the quality of the job has a lot to do with the installer – Products may be similar but if a great product is installed poorly – the end result is poor. So make sure you trust who is installing the job not just the company selling the job. It can be difficult to get things fixed after the installer leaves.
