Australian life is all about enjoying the outdoors. But sometimes the weather conditions can get in the way. Now, thanks to Scorpio Screens & Blinds, home and business owners in Queensland’s Gold Coast can enjoy the outdoor areas of their properties at all times!
The Benefits of Straight Drop Blinds
Adapt to weather conditions instantly with these Outdoor Blinds
Our straight drop blinds, sometimes known as straight drop awnings, are specifically designed for the outside areas of your home or commercial property. They enable you to react to the weather conditions instantly, transforming your patio or deck into a comfortable, usable area all year round.
Straight drop blinds can also improve conditions inside your property, as they are also ideal for shielding window from the intense Queensland sun. This offers great value for money, helping you to save on the cost of heating and cooling your property.
Reduce Glare on Large Surface
Straight Drop Blinds are ideal for large patios
In addition, straight drop awnings help to reduce glare, and enable you to control the amount of sunlight entering your property both inside and out. All your everyday tasks instantly become easier and more comfortable!
For business owners, straight drop blinds can help you increase your success by enabling your customers to enjoy the outdoor areas of your premises. This is highly valuable for cafes, restaurants, bars, hotels and many other commercial ventures with usable outside space.
Even if your outdoor space is particularly large, this is no problem! Our straight drop blinds are capable of covering areas of up to 5.5 metres in width, ideal for large patios and poolside areas.
