Outdoor blinds for a more beautiful terrace

Often motorized, even equipped with lights or wifi, outdoor blinds are the solution to protect the terrace and the house from heat or sun. As aesthetic as they are practical, they are now very efficient to offer us greater comfort, with a wide choice of fabrics and options.

A choice of classic, semi-case or full box, manual or automatic, outdoor patio awnings protect you from the sun and ensure weatherproof resistance.

Equipped with stainless steel cable arms tested and designed to last, their anti-squeaking sheaths protect the springs and the acrylic fabric offers good water resistance. For the handling, these external blinds can be manual (with the old) or motorized. But it is especially in the options offered by manufacturers that the choice multiplies. An external awning can be fitted with a mantling (the small awning floating in front of it), but it can also be equipped with LEDs to be illuminated in the evening, or with wind sensors to fold in automatically, and even with sunlight sensors to be deployed if necessary.

As for awning fabrics, the choice of colors, textures and patterns is becoming more and more generous.

One distinguishes several types of awnings:

The classic awning is an awning where each of the elements, fabric and arm, must be installed separately. In the end, the arms and the fabric remain in the open air once the blind is raised. Not being protected, the awning must therefore be fixed under a roof or a canopy.

The one-piece awning is ideal for a balcony. Awning in one piece, the support bar can be installed on a front wall or ceiling but as the fabric is not protected, the blind is to be fixed under the edge of a roof or a canopy. Equipped with a control box, it can be connected to a motor that controls the opening or closing.

The semi-closed awning adapts to all configurations, terraces, balconies or windows. Equipped with a PVC box that protects its canvas from the weather when folded, it is semi-safe because only the canvas fits in the trunk, not the arms. It is operated with a wired electric motor connected to a control box and a radio frequency remote control. 

The awning box can be adapted to all configurations, terraces, balconies. Equipped with an aluminum box which protects the canvas, it is integral because the arms and the canvas come to be stored integrally inside the box. As the semi-cabinet, the manoeuvre is done thanks to an electric motor and a remote control.
